Suits & Statements: DNC Day 1’s Fashion Moments

The DNC kicked off with all the policy talk we expected, but let’s be real—half the fun was watching the power suits and fashion flexes walk across that stage. From Kamala Harris’s tan suit throwback to Maxine Waters’ business-ready glam, the message was clear: these women came to slay—in style and in politics.

First up, we have Kamala Harris, who stepped onto the stage in a tan two-piece suit that was giving all the right energy. Now, for those of us who live for a political fashion moment, this suit wasn’t just any beige number—it was a full-on nod to *that* infamous day in 2014 when

former President Barack Obama dared to wear a tan suit to a press conference. Yes, the very suit that sparked an unnecessary media meltdown. The statement? Tan is power. And just like Obama, Kamala is here to break barriers—in style.

Next, all eyes were on Hillary Clinton, not just for what she said but how she looked while saying it. Enter: the bob. Yes, *that* bob. This was no regular bob; this was a “I’ve been there, done that, and now I’m reclaiming my time” bob. Paired with her crisp suit, Hillary showed us that even after shattering that glass ceiling, she can still switch up the style game like nobody’s business. She had “Black Twitter” full support.

Speaking of business, can we talk about Maxine Waters? Auntie Maxine’s green dress suit paired with bold red nails and a wig that spoke volumes was nothing short of iconic. It was as if she whispered, “I’m reclaiming my time and making it fashion.”

But it wasn’t just the political veterans stealing the fashion spotlight. First Lady Dr. Jill Biden showed us how to do patriotism with a capital P in a classic Ralph Lauren suit. Clean lines, sophisticated tailoring, and a quiet yet powerful nod to American designers. Fashion diplomacy? Jill’s got it covered.

And let’s not forget Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, who brought her Native American roots to the stage with a look by Indigenous designer Jamie Okuma. Talk about making a statement with heritage and pride. Representation matters, and Flanagan made sure we saw it—and felt it.

Day one of the DNC set the tone for more than just the political conversation. It reminded us that in 2024, fashion is still political, and every outfit tells a story. These women didn’t just show up—they showed out, proving that when it comes to power, the suit is as mighty as the speech.
