Kamala Harris Puts American Fashion in Focus at Phoenix Awards Night

Published

on

At the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Phoenix Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C., Kamala Harris delivered her message through both words and wardrobe. On September 27 she appeared in a sequined oxblood gown by Sergio Hudson, reinforcing her support for American designers and, in particular, Black talent.

Harris is often recognized for her tailored pantsuits, which became a trademark of her political image. For one of the evening’s central honors, the CBC Body Award, she chose something different. The gown was off the shoulder, long-sleeved, and finished with a fitted waist and floor-length hem, balancing formality with intention.

Choosing Hudson was a calculated decision. The South Carolina–born designer has been part of Harris’s style story before, most notably at her 2021 inauguration. By wearing his work again, she underscored a consistent commitment to spotlighting designers whose contributions have shaped American fashion but are too often overlooked.

Harris took a deliberate approach to the look. “Sergio Hudson’s designs, a reflection of his vision and artistry, embody confidence, dignity, and pride,” she told Vogue. Her team, hairstylist Dayna Rose and makeup artist Marquia James, kept the styling streamlined so the gown could stand at the center.

The appearance was about more than fashion. It offered a glimpse into how she wants to present herself: professional yet connected to the cultural communities she has consistently supported. For Harris, clothing now doubles as a reflection of the values she carries into public life.

This is not the first time Harris has made such a move at the Phoenix Awards. Last year she wore a sequined gown by LaQuan Smith, another Black American designer. Taken together, these choices show a shift from her usual pantsuits toward occasional headline-making evening wear, each time designed by figures who represent key voices in contemporary American fashion.

The significance is less about whether Harris keeps experimenting with gowns or returns to her established wardrobe of suits. It is about how she continues to use fashion as a form of affirmation, a way to acknowledge and elevate the work of designers shaping the industry today.

Graphic tees are getting another look this autumn, and Daisy Edgar-Jones just showed  how to style them in two different ways. The actress was spotted twice on the streets of New York City on Monday, October 12, wearing two vintage bird-themed T-shirts from Stella McCartney’s Spring 1999 collection for Chloé. Instead of pairing them with the familiar jeans and casual footwear, she styled them with pieces that gave each look a feminine feel.

For her first look, Edgar-Jones wore a white baseball-style T-shirt with three-quarter-length navy sleeves and an airbrushed eagle image across the front. The blue tones in the bird illustration blended with the sleeves, while the rest of the shirt remained white. She paired it with light blue silk shorts trimmed with lace along the hem, giving them a lingerie-inspired look. Instead of the usual casual footwear often paired with graphic tees, she wore white pointed-toe heels.

Later that day, Edgar-Jones changed into another T-shirt from the same collection. This version had a light pink base with an airbrushed hummingbird appearing to feed from a flower. The image included shades of chartreuse, which complemented the yellow leather trousers she paired with the top. She added heeled sandals with yellow-toned soles, matching the footwear with her outfit.

Both outfits were styled by Dani Michelle as Edgar-Jones promotes the upcoming film Sense and Sensibility, in which she plays Elinor Dashwood. The new adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel is scheduled to arrive in U.S theatre on October 16.

Kim Kardashian arrived at F1 Singapore Grand Prix on Saturday, October 10, to support her boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton. The reality star was seen at the Marina Bay Street Circuit during the Formula One weekend, where Hamilton was competing for Ferrari. For the occasion, Kardashian went with a monochrome pink look.

Her outfit from Alaïa’s Spring 2024 collection, featured a high-neck halter leotard with a built-in, sheer floor-length skirt. The fitted bodysuit-style base contrasted with the flowing material of the skirt, which fell loosely around her legs.

Kardashian carried a matching pink Hermès Kelly bag made from crocodile-embossed leather. The small handbag featured silver Chrome Hearts chain detailing, adding a metallic touch to the pink accessory. She also wore silver open-toe shoes. Her black hair was pulled back into a neat bun, keeping it away from her face and leaving the high neckline of the dress visible.

This was Kardashian’s second Formula One appearance with Hamilton since their relationship began in February. She first joined him at the Monaco Grand Prix in June, bringing her sister Khloé Kardashian along for the trip. During the weekend, she wore several Gucci looks, including a shimmering dress, a black leather jacket and an asymmetrical draped gown.

When it comes to wearing unconventional shoes on the red carpet, Alexander Skarsgård is not afraid to try something different. The actor has made some interesting footwear choices over the years, and his latest appearance at the BFI London Film Festival on October 8 was no exception. He showed up in a pair of transparent shoes.

Designed by Saint Laurent for its Spring 2027 collection, the clear PVC shoes have a traditional lace-up Oxford shape, with a black sole and matching laces. He paired the unusual footwear with a metallic gold two-piece suit from the same fashion house.

Saint Laurent’s freelance design director of shoes, Corrado De Biase cheekily named the footwear O.Fan after OnlyFans, the popular subscription-based platform known for hosting adult content. “It was a joke between us to say, ‘I don’t understand why men are scared to show their feet,” he said in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily.

This obviously isn’t the first time Skarsgård has worn an unusual footwear to the red carpet. At the Sundance Film Festival in January, he wore studded Valentino Rockstud flip-flops with a trench coat, track jacket, tie and tailored trousers. He also wore thigh-high leather boots to the Cannes Film Festival in 2025. Speaking to W Magazine about his choice, he said, “It was my first time at Cannes and I was very excited about it. My character wears a lot of leather in the movie, so it just felt fitting to wear a little bit of leather on the carpet and to the premiere.”

Skarsgård was in London to promote Wicker, in which he plays a magical man made of wicker who marries a fisherwoman, played by Olivia Colman. The film is scheduled to arrive in select theaters on October 23.
