Kamala Harris Means Business in Maroon Suit & Leather Pumps at State of the Union Address 2023

Vice President Kamala Harris suited up for President Joe Biden’s 2023 State of the Union address. The address was held at 9 p.m. on Feb. 7., highlighting the current condition of the United States of America.

During the occasion, Harris arrived in a deep maroon blazer and matching trousers. Her suit was layered over a lighter-toned dark red silk blazer with a gathered neckline, creating a two-toned statement. Finishing the politician’s ensemble were dark glossy black pearl stud earrings, as well as a matching necklace — one of her jewelry style signatures.

When it came to footwear, Harris finished her suit with one of her go-to shoe styles: pointed-toe pumps. The classic set featured smooth black leather uppers with triangular toes, closed shafts and counters. Thin stiletto heels totaling at least 3 inches in height completed the style’s base, giving her formal outfit a sharp height boost for the occasion.
