Vogue’s Kamala Harris cover sparks social media frenzy: ‘What a mess up’
By Brie Stimson
The cover of February’s upcoming issue of Vogue, which features Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris, has been widely criticized on social media.
Some fans of the future VP are claiming Harris looks washed out in the photo while others say the cover’s style doesn’t give her the respect she deserves.
And some say it’s just plain bad.
“What a mess up. [Editor-in-Chief] Anna Wintour must really not have Black friends and colleagues,” author Wajahat Ali wrote.

“Kamala Harris is about as light skinned as women of color come and Vogue still f—ed up her lighting. WTF is this washed out mess of a cover?” Twitter user E. Vaughan said.
She added, “Vogue knows Kamala Harris loves her sorority, suits, comfortable pants and chuck taylors. So they just jumbled it all together for the cover. Except they couldn’t decide whether she is going to a luxe French salon, the Senate floor, or taking a jog.”
