WWD chatted with celebrity stylist duo Jill + Jordan about how Ella Emhoff's internet-breaking looks came together.

As has been wholly declared by the internet by now, Vice President Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter, Parsons student and rising knitwear designer Ella Emhoff, was the breakout fashion sensation of Wednesday’s inauguration. At the swearing-in, she caught attention in her Miu Miu coat, which was worn over a Batsheva dress; a deeper look on social media showed she chose a Thom Browne look the day before, posing with her Gucci-clad mother, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff’s former wife Kerstin Emhoff.

What was your approach for the day and what were your conversations with Ella like around what to wear? We reached out to several designers, but those three specifically were of the first that we requested and the first to confirm. They were also the first she tried in the fitting. The fashion gods had a plan! The Miu Miu was still wrapped in plastic when we declared it the likely winner.

Batsheva felt like an obvious pairing with the Miu Miu. She [Batsheva Hay] also felt like an obvious pairing with Ella. Some girls and some designers are just cohesive. We can’t explain it!She knows her stuff. It’s fun to work with someone who has a genuine love of clothes as an art form and a means of self-expression. She directed us to her Instagram to get an idea of her style and we both reacted with “ooohhhh…I totally get it.
