Maya Harris, the sister of United States Vice President Kamala Harris, made a striking appearance on the final day of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center on Aug. 22. Harris confidently took the stage in a bold pink suit, but it was her choice of footwear that truly took the spotlight of her ensemble.
Harris opted for a pair of white slingback kitten heels that perfectly complemented her powerful ensemble. The heels featured a delicate bow embellishment on the front, adding a touch of femininity to the overall look. The slingback design provided a secure fit, while the low kitten heel ensured both comfort and elegance, allowing Harris to move gracefully across the stage.
The bow detail on the heels added an element of charm and even more femininity to her outfit, softening the structured lines of her suit. The contrast between the bright pink of her suit and the crisp white of her shoes created a balanced yet eye-catching aesthetic, making her stand out in the crowd. The kitten. heels are seemingly similar to Vanessa Noel’s Bell Sling model, which heels measure at about 2 inches and are handmade in Italy.
These heels not only completed her outfit but they also showcased that a traditional neutral color pump is not needed to create a polished look. Whether she was addressing the crowd or waving to supporters, Harris’s choice of footwear highlighted her fashion-forward approach, proving that even in the political arena, a well-chosen pair of shoes can make a significant statement.
Like her presidential nominee sister, Maya consistently chose footwear that made a statement at the Democratic National Convention. The vice presisdent has also leaned into timeless shoe choices throughout the convention, opting for classic pumps. Most recently, Kamala was seen in a pair of beige pumps that appear to be a go-to in her wardrobe, perfectly complementing her bespoke Chloe suit designed by Creative Director Chemena Kamali. To accept the nomination, Kamala opted for a higher-heeled pair of pointed black pumps that conveyed a message of power and sophistication.
