Thousands of Kamala Harris Supporters Will Rock "Chucks and Pearls" on Inauguration Day

On Jan. 20, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be sworn in as president and vice president, respectively, of the United States. In honor of Harris's historic win as the first Black woman and the first woman of South Asian descent to be elected vice president, thousands of her supporters will celebrate by wearing her classic Chuck Taylors and a string of pearls on Inauguration Day.

Group plans to emulate the soon-to-be vice president's style first started circulating thanks to Facebook page Chucks and Pearls Day, January 20th, 2021, which currently has over 75,000 members. "We love our new VP . . . We want women from all walks of life to honor her by wearing Chucks and pearls on Inauguration Day," the page description reads. Now, a day ahead of the election, #ChucksAndTaylors is trending on Twitter and we're already digging through our closets for our favorite pairs.

Pearls have been one of Harris's signature accessories for decades, and they hold a special place in her heart. As a former member and lifelong supporter of Alpha Kappa Alpha - a member of the Divine Nine and one of the oldest historically Black sororities in the country - Harris likely wears the pearls in honor of the sorority's founders, aka the "Twenty Pearls," and to represent solidarity with her sisters. She has most notably been spotted wearing the pearls when she was sworn in as a US senator by then-Vice President Biden, when she announced her bid for US president, and during her acceptance speech on Nov. 7.

As for the Converse? According to the vice president-elect's husband Doug Emhoff, Harris has been rocking sneakers with her outfits for as long as he can remember. "You know, I grew up with Chucks. I just love them. They're comfortable," she said in a recent interview with CBS News Sunday Morning, to which Emhoff added, "When I met her, it was Chucks and jeans."

It's clear that Harris has some memorable style game, and given that the inauguration will be a virtual event this year, wearing Chucks and pearls in her honor feels like the perfect way to celebrate as a country while staying at least six feet apart.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
