The 2024 Democratic National Convention is taking place in Chicago through Thursday. Held to officially nominate Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate and affirm her choice of Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota for vice president, the event also had its share of fashion statements.
Michelle Obama took the stage in a Monse crisscross jacket, Jill Biden sparkled in a custom Ralph Lauren dress and Hillary Clinton brought her signature style in a tweed suit. Ella Emhoff, daughter of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and Ashley Biden, daughter of President Jill Biden, also embraced luxury fashion for the convention, with Ella wearing Thom Browne and Ashley going all-white in Gabriela Hearst.
Here, WWD takes a closer look at the fashion moments from the 2024 Democratic National Convention.
