The photos were met with swift backlash on social media, with many people calling the images disrespectful, unflattering and even racist. In addition — decrying “lazy” art direction — many people complained that Harris’ skin tone appeared washed out, saying the full length portrait resembles a test shot.
Commentators have speculated that the photo generating the backlash is the one intended for paying subscribers of its print issue, and headed for newstands. Vogue has not commented, but the leaked image from Models Daily does bear a bar code.This speaks volumes of how you view our Madam Vice President.
Way to miss the point. Are you an actual a journalistic outfit?
Does no one remember the big deal made over Melania's spiked heels? Didn't that show she had no idea how to relate to the average citizen? That was clearly a statement of superiority n was offensive.
I’m very pleased. They look awesome
It’s a Cali thing
Finally shoes I can afford on the cover of Vogue. 😂
If you think her feet matter, in a photograph, for a fashion magazine...we are in for more trouble than we are in today.
The woodchucks are not pleased either
PinknFlawless Oh no.... another tan suit fiasco... how will democracy survive? FFS
Socialism at its best.
The chucks are on point.. If you zoom in you can see that they are worn. Nah... On point though............
Nice one, really shows off her authentic self.
Love it
Why!? She’s FINE
Shame on the critics! Kamala has achieved more in life than all of them put together. Plus, she is a nice person. Critics are not.
The internet !!
chucks are always appropriate.
According to an AP article, Harris' team is upset that Vogue didn't use the picture that was agreed upon for the cover (the one in the blue suit).
Love it. She’s so genuine.❤️
hey...🖕🏼”the internet”...who the hell is he-she-they any freaking way...got to be one of the stupidest terms ever coined, and there’s been plenty of dumb ones
Oh my!! Well the internet has done so much for us!
More people are unemployed in California than in the last 100 years, the City Halls of the state’s two largest cities are subject of corruption probes, and the state has run of morgue space for the body count. : ”Some rando people don’t like tabloid magazine cover”.
It captures who she is, a kick ass proud, intelligent woman who knows exactly who she is with her feet firmly planted on the ground. We should be glad for what’s going on in her head rather than what she’s got on her feet.
LA times...YOU SUCK. If only this was the worst of our problems
This is a non story
KamalaHarris can wear whatever she wants. What matters is how she will run the country, not the shoes she wears to run it with. KamalaHarrisVP
You know what.... voguemagazine Internet We have bigger things to worry about at the moment!! ImpeachandRemove 25thAmendmentTrumpNOW GetHimOut BidenHarrisToSaveAmerica
This is what is wrong with our country. Who cares what kind of shoes she's freaking wearing. People are ridiculous. You stretch your stuff in those chucks SenKamalaHarris
Style people, try to embrace it, especially because you are tweet shaming while wearing stinky slippers!
After Wednesday there’s something to be said for shoes you can run in.
West coast n
I saw it, I don’t see the problem at all! It gives the idea of a woman ready to go and get things done! What counts is in your head, not on your feet!
I can tell her left shoe is 100% in support of impeachment. And her right shoe supports impeachment at about 51%. I just hope her shoes are both able to walk on the same path together without heading in opposite directions. 😂
Nothin' else goin' on in our stumbling USA but Chucks? Pretty shallow, L.A.T.!
Chucks? Well alright!
Get over it Internet
Demagoguery in action!
Oh..
Seriously it looks like a sophomore in college walked into to pick up her little brother at their high school prom
Otra monigote de la élite
The internet can fuck off. Chucks rock anything!
Sensible comfortable shoes Heavens to mergatroid
Nike stock bout to blow up.
Who cares! I want a vaccine.
Lol fuck the internet
Loved them! The internet is full of backwards, out of touch, fashion know nothings.
I think she looks awesome in chucks. Only the hate groups will hate on her for those.
I’m not really sure what the big deal is. It’s a magazine cover who gives two shits. KamalaHarris looked beautiful anyways. We got bigger things going on & didn’t AOC do a cover in nice clothes and everyone called her a hypocrite? 🤦🏽♀️
All you have nothing better to do... go screw yourself. What is worn should should not matter.
Virtual Beyotch
WHITE RATS DESTROYED THE CAPITAL WITH PERMISSON FROM THE IGNORANT PRESIDENT BUT YOU'RE WORRY ABOUT SOME DAMN SHOES!
Didnt Fox news go bananas about Obama not wearing a US pin & wearing a beige suite etc etc. What the hell has that got to do with politics? Pathetic considering what is going o in the US right now.
I can’t wait till these old muthafuckers pass away... you can’t wear chucks without being criticized 🤨
By internet you mean white folk?
what's the problem with Chucks, don't get it....?
Some people have way to much time on their hands and it's no body's business but hers.
OnWriting1 I think it’s cute as hell it’s time women stopped thinking they have to be sex symbols to please man it’s time to please ourselves
Shut up, seriously, be better LA times
I am
ugh 4 more years of this
Nappy headed hoooooo
This is not news. Do better
so what la times
I think it’s dope! And who cares what the “Republicans / American Terrorists” Think!!! She is our VP!! KamalaHarris 🌊🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She's the evil
Seriously. What is going on? Capital Hill is what needs to be discussed.
Sooooo?
Who give one fuck!
I love it!!!!!!
What the fuck is the issue? Why the fuck does it matter what shoes she wears? There’s bigger issues than wtf KamalaHarris wears on her feet. I can’t believe people are pressed over some fuckin chucks.
I think there’s more important things to worry about - Jeez!!!
Who gives a damn about her shoes Shouldn’t the focus be on her policy, her skills, and her capacity to lead the country as a VP? Seriously? Shoes
Tough. Get over it.
Who gives a shit? She brags about her shoes and her Chucks all the time but now it’s a problem? Sounds like more Khive bullshit.
This one is a stretch. 🙄
Because this country doesn’t have serious enough problems to focus on right now.
Such a refreshing scandal. I love being back to tan suits and converse.
Firstly, we do have larger issues to be concerned with. But whilst we are at it, I think she looks phenomenal
What was she supposed to wear? Can I come in your closet and tell you what shoes I think you should wear?
So insurrection or her wearing Chucks. Hmmm .... which should I get pissed about. For fuck’s sake.
Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris... c’mon
Stop trying to make her Chuck Taylor's a thing. Nobody gives a fuck about this superficial BS. What LA Times staffer is signing off on these moronic stories? This is the level of our political discourse during a pandemic, depression, and coup attempt
What's wrong with Chuck taylors
JadeJeniseDixon So...Horn headpiece and a fur vest?
Nothing more American than chucks?
I love it!!! Good for her!!!
The Internet has bigger problems than shoes.
Disappointed .
Kamala has no taste, no judgment, no principles. Evident with her role in bail-funding for BLM rioters last summer. Let her wear ‘chucks’ to show her wokeness but all we see is foolishness, immaturity and impropriety, insulting a magazine and embarrassing herself
Tell her to grab them by their pu... never mind.
The fact that this tweet exists and is being debated speaks to the pettiness of of our people.
Probably money to wear em.
With all that's transpiring, if this your biggest concern, you've got problems. This is true for you too, LA Times. Much more important matters to write about.🤦🏻♂️
Back to writing stories about presidential outfits and not presidential psychopaths. Got it. ✅
Tacky Vogue!
Is this an ad for Vogue
Why does anyone care
WTF, chucks is what she wares at home
Lol another company that’s going to bankrupt lol 😂
You should be pulled for reporting this nonsense! I hope she wears the shoes 👟 to the inauguration .
Chucks like Chux pads cuz abe is so full of shit !
Just stop! Your paper gets worse by the day! People have died! STOP THIS.
Maybe she shouldn’t have worn them then. She is an adult right? She can make her own decisions right? If not why was she elected VP? KamalaHarris SenKamalaHarris 🤷🏻♂️
This isn’t news. Kamala’s amazing. The photos are great. Hopefully the first female VP isn’t about what she wears - when was the last time Biden got flack for his shoes! SenKamalaHarris kathygriffin
People need to loosen up
I love them, her look works!
Who care. Here we go again. Black be attacks for wearing clothing.. focus on domestic terrorist attacks January 6 2021. Whiteness only try to ignore.. you are helping with racism system. Stop be racist
Can see all the softballs coming for the next four years from the chinatimes
Still trying to figure out what’s so wrong about it. 🤔
😂 People have stooped so low & can’t find anything else to criticize her for? Please 🙄
Are we back to the tan suit? Republicans: give a pass to overthrow the government efforts. Democratics: wear sneakers or a tan suit, shamed. SMH
Who cares. She looks great on the cover. I don’t care if she was wearing flip flops. Whatever. Just get the job done when you are in office. Nothing else matters.
Are. You. Kidding. Me? Trump has defiled and discraced the office of PRESIDENT beyond recognition and Kamala Harris wears a pair of SHOES that are quintessential Americana and THAT’S what people choose to flip out about? Priorities people. We just endured a coup attempt ffs.
Oh good! Here we go again with the “Did you see what Michelle Obama wore” controversy 🤦🏽♀️
The new tan suit.
I love it! We all match to the beat of a different drum, she just shows she has style, a little whimsy and can also be a strong woman and role model.
With Trumps term about to expire this is what LA has to look forward to for hard hitting and world changing news.
breaking news, minority woman wears chucks....stay tune for more developing news
She’s cool.She’s classy.She’s smart.Shoe’s or no shoes.Who cares.
She looks like a peasant
Jeez, relax. I hate people.
She looks like a woman here to work hard, not worry about a magazine cover. I love it. KamalaHarris
Thank god it wasn't a tan suit or the US would fall into the ocean.
Domestic Terrorists are running amok. That’s the footwear to stay focused on, people.
Pretty soon she’ll be wearing her stripper clothes again
Do anyone tells you what to wear? She’s a grown woman and can whatever she wants! She looks better than some of the previous ladies on the cover!
I more concerned about the drivel that comes out of her mouth.
Chucks are comfortable. I don't blame her
Let’s not this distract you from the fact that she as the DA in SF put many black men in prison under frivolous charges and now wants to defund the police because it suits the narrative. The lady is a fake...
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Jeez she can wear what she likes
MISS ME WIT DA BULLSH*T!
As long as Trump and his buffoons are not removed for storming the Capitol to overthrow the government I don't want to hear bullshit like this!
Oh good. At least none of it had to do w/Harris wearing designer clothes while restaurants and businesses have had to lay off employees because of the pandemic. This is going to be an interesting 4 years while journos are on vacation like they were from 09-16’
She looks fabulous! It’s what’s on the once that matters, dumb shits!! GROW UP, PPL!
I disagree with her politics but seriously the internet mob needs to STFU... a super successful woman second in line to run the country could wear whatever she wants... get a life people... how is this news? We are doomed if this is news worthy...
Democracy dies in darkness.
Wow. Dont you have so many other things to report on? I cant believe ppl would pay money to read this.
We didn't elect a Nun. She can wear whatever the fuck she wants just as long as its appropriate. There are far greater things to worry about than the shoes she is wearing.
Nothing to do with her chucks. Why are you so bad at this?
It’s not about the shoes!! The photo looks like someone took it on their phone. It’s washed out. It looks awful, especially given that it’s the freaking cover shot
Why? This is great!
I liked it. Down to earth and comfortable.
What?
What an outrage?! People are so petty.
That's what she's known for. Her chucks.
I loved it, she is a modern woman, dress for the modern world
Country is in the shitter. Anyone who cares about this isn’t worth paying attention to.
I liked the chucks pic but it wasn’t about the chucks
The internet was pleased. Don’t pick and choose
They’re shoes. Who the fuck cares? Don’t remember the last time we judged male politicians by their footwear. It’s 2021
Get over yourselves. She is fabulous.
That’s her style, good for her wearing what she wants...She looks amazing..KamalaHarris
It's a dumb pic on a dumb cover of a dumb magazine, why did she bother with it anyway, she's now VP, maybe she could start acting like one. kamalaharris, please get serious, this is all silly.
I love it it’s who she is. And nice we’re back to the old days of big scandals being tan suits and what shoes you wear Rather than insurrection
The photo with the chucks is NOT the one selected by the Harris team for the cover, this one was. Shame on you Vogue!
Really, get over it!!!!!
It’s not the chucks. It’s the art direction/set!
Now lets focus on the fact that she is breaking every glass ceiling there is and is also featured on the cover of Vogue... while wearing Chucks! That rocks! BidenHarris Kamala 🤛🏽
For everyone: We can walk and chew gum at the same time. I can multitask my disdain. Re: This? The chucks pic was lazy and not on par with the quality of portrayal she deserves--and it has nothing to do with the shoes. That matters. voguemagazine tried it.
She obviously doesn’t care. Why does the internet?
If only you cared as much about an attempted coup.
That’s a lie. The internet is not a human. 🙄 I love what she wore. I don’t care for the backdrop used but who cares? If you don’t like it move on with your day. No journalism here. Gossip fodder.
Well honestly as a Californian she should be wearing Vans. 🤣
The chucks isn’t the problem. The composition of the image was all over the place and not esthetically pleasing to the eye.
Wow, no man would ever be chastised for wearing sneakers, shame on latimes for amplifying these meaningless mysogynist issues during a coup attempt.
Noooo!!!! I'm going to storm the Capitol! Seriously, who wrote this nonsense?
OFFS you’ve got to be kidding me. People, there is a vast amount of things that we need to focus on in and for this country.
What could the internet possibly be unpleased about?! Normalize women being human!
Not to mention her stealing from William Wallace.
So what! 🤬
Maybe it was KamalaHarris who made the choice to wear the 'Chucks'; comfortbility 🤔
Last thing on my mind right now
Ist a joke!!!
On the anniversary of ‘The Tan Suit’ 🙄
Its NOT the chucks. The pic is shit.
Bad headline. The shoes have nothing to do with why people are upset with the cover.
This isn’t about the Chucks . This is about years and years of seeing women of color poorly presented on magazine covers in the rare instances they’ve been selected. There are myriad reasons for people to be angry about this cover — the least of which is her footwear.
Isn't there something else happening your newspaper could be addressing today?
People, get a life!
Warning: subversive statement to follow....The internet is not always correct. Chucks RULE!
Hood
There only Chuck’s. What’s the deal?
Should of at least wore some Nikes, sheesh
Seriously? With America getting flushed down the toilet, the Pentagon calling Wednesdays horror show a 'First Amendment Protest' (Daily Kos) someone thinks we should critique the VP-elects' wardrobe? Get a damned grip!
f- the internet
Up in arms about nothing at all. She’s always photographed out and about wearing chucks. They didn’t just decide to have her wear them for this shoot.
They should have listened to this guy...
Fuck the internet let the woman wear her shoes.
I checked with the internet. They're fine with it.
stop forcing people to write and read bullshit, it does not lighten the mood, it is hold each other more accountable time
Wow people are this stupid I think she should pose in a jogging suit !! KamalaHarris is strong women and it doesn’t matter what she wears unless it’s not a “I don’t care” coat that FLOTUS wore
That’s a very misleading headline. People are upset that she was given such a shitty cover that she didn’t choose. It’s out of focus and unflattering. She deserves a cover that reflects the historic position she will have.
Hey, you gotta give her credit for losing 45lbs prior to her run for prez
America's biggest problems today
let the haters hate, she’s awesome
You asked for it California.
Huh?
There’s a coup attempt, global pandemic and a growing economic depression and this is what you think people care about? What clothes the incoming VP has on?
Oh for goodness sake, not the tan suit controversy all over again. Who cares what shoes she was wearing on her personal time, geez. Pick a battle would you?
They should of went with the blue suit! The sneakers are terrible and Vogue didn’t do Kamala any favors by putting that pic on the cover.
Seriously? How about we focus on attempted coup by gop and the president?
Seriously, Harris wearing Chucks? this is the issue that people have a problem with We just saw Trump’s rednecks storm the Capital! WTF?!
the internet doesn't care what shoes she is wearing...
That's NOT what people are upset about, friend.
Folks we have bigger issues to contend with don’t be distracted
No one really likes Kamalah, generally. She is very unlikable.
Chucks and tan suits, but not bankruptcy and grab em by the ... we know what it is!! 😂😂.. shine woman of color.. we ain’t mad at ya!! 😂😂
Yeah she probably had zero say in how she wanted to be portrayed. 🙄
Oh
Not about the chucks. About these legacy publications’ ongoing decision to not appropriately light and color correct for nonwhite subjects (see: Simone Biles)
I like the Chuck Taylor’s. Hell, she’s been rocking them since day one. Fuck what everyone else thinks. Keep rocking them.
I'm more surprised she's not on both knees
A reason I don't subscribe to the LA Times... 🙄
I'm pleased. I think she looks terrific. I guess I'm not cool enough to know to be offended by this photo. And yes, I understand it apparently wasn't the photo agreed upon, but I still think she looks fabulous, and maybe she likes dijon mustard too.
Seriously?! At this point in time? Shoes? Shoes?!
Hands up if you have no idea what a Chuck is when its not a Norris! ✋
It is NOT the Chucks--it's the disrespectful production
Oh, FFS, it's not about the Chucks (they were the best part).
She's lovely. Leave the Lady alone.
