Kamala Harris wore purple when she was sworn in as the 46th Vice President of the United States - and she was joined by Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama, who wore similar shades. Here’s why.

made history when she was sworn in as the 46th Vice President of the United StatesMerging blue, denoting the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party's red, many observers interpret purple as a symbol of bipartisanship and unity -Kamala Harris breaks barriers as first woman of colour to be sworn in as US vice president

For Ms Harris, who became the first woman, the first black American and the first Asian American to hold the second highest US office, this colour choice has not gone unnoticed. "Thank you, Madam Vice President. We are so honoured and humbled to have played a small part in this historical moment," Mr Rogers wrote on Instagram.

"I did wear purple with a purpose because I knew the theme that President Biden was striking was unity. I thought as you combine red and blue, the way that we are divided politically in our country, you get purple," Ms Clinton told reporters at the Capitol after the swearing-in. Former US President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton arrive before the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States.

I really wish they wore black, just like their husbands. Then no focus on 'what they were wearing'...women's stuff...just ask Gillard how that worked out for her.

Because that’s what woman are dressed in when attending a funeral.

SBS Purple has a much longer and closer association with royalty, it was worn by Roman elites, in some areas commoners were banned from wearing the colour. Same in Japan purple is traditionally associated with the emperor and aristocracy. I guess this is how they see themselves now.

SBS turns into Women's Weekly.... 👎

49th Vice President!

Spockarama It’s not purple. It’s VIOLET Emmeline Pankhurst & the suffragettes wore Green, White & Violet to signify their cause Give Women Votes HistoryIsFun

So it’s not a homage to Prince and his Purple Rain?

drobwlldiad Purple is the colour of the feminist movement world wide ... and my favourite colour 💪🏻💪🏻

Unless I'm colour blind, Kamala is wearing blue, Hillary purple and Michelle maroon. A manufactured story.

SBS Three really powerful women .... the media 'oooh, what are they wearing?' Seriously?

My taxes paid for this article.

Blue and red makes purple.

Everyone knows that’s Illuminati purple 😂

It’s an attractive colour, maybe there doesn’t need to be symbolism.

Just an embarrassment

Ewww ...no fashion sense there

This seems super important right now

Wow! Such an important piece of news!

Pure evil..

AS PROSECUTOR HARRIS KEPT AN INNOCENT MAN IN JAIL & INCARCERATED MANY AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE INTO THE US PRISON SYSTEM WHICH USES COERCED OR FORCED LABOR AS FOR US CORPORATIONS TO USE FOR GREED. SANDERS THE ONLY DECENT DEMOCRAT DISCARDED.

My reason as well.

Kamala Harris is the 49th VP. Biden is 46th President, but Harris is 49th VP.

Qldaah this isn't journalism

Qldaah And this is newsworthy why?

Is symbolism going to unite ?

Maroon is a shade of purple 🤔
