Vice President Kamala Harris attended the Kennedy Center Honors reception and ceremony on the White House on Sunday, wearing a complicated black dress.

For the event honoring American artists and creatives, the vice chairman wore a floor-length black dress with above-the-elbow sleeves and a round neckline customized by Vera Wang. The dress had a metallic trim on the bodice under the bust.

Harris accessorized the look with a pair of black opera gloves and statement earrings.

The vice chairman was accompanied by her husband, Douglas Emhoff, who wore a classic black suit, with a white shirt, black tie and black shoes.

Harris isn’t the one public figure to don an all-black Vera Wang ensemble this 12 months. In November on the CFDA Fashion Awards, actress Vanessa Hudgens wore a bra top and sheer coat by the designer as she posed for the red carpet.

Harris is a known supporter of many American fashion designers, and has also worn designs from Prabal Gurung, Sergio Hudson and Pyer Moss.

Prior to now, Vera Wang has shown support of America’s military personnel by surprising military brides with custom dresses for his or her wedding day. Wang has worked with brides in honor of Military Family Appreciation Month.

Wang’s bridal gowns are still going strong after several many years. In April 2021, the designer signed a 10-year take care of Pronovias for Vera Wang Bride.

The annual Kennedy Center Honors have fun creatives who’ve made an impact on the American cultural landscape. This 12 months’s honorees included George Clooney, Tania León, U2, Amy Grant and Gladys Knight. This 12 months marks the forty fifth annual event, with CBS broadcasting the ceremony on Dec. 28.
