Washington , DC – January 20: Ella(C) and Cole Emhoff(R), the son and daughter of Vice President Kamala Harris husband Doug Emhoff, are directed to their seats during the 59th presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021.

There are certain things we’ve come to expect from US presidential inaugurations: motivational speeches, pop stars performing and lots of custom-made designer looks. But this year, the most talked-about parts of President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris’ swearing in didn’t have much to do with them at all. Second only to that viral photo of Bernie Sanders in handmade mittens and Amanda Gorman’s moving poem<\/a> was Ella Emhoff,<\/a> Kamala Harris’ 21-year-old stepdaughter, who, despite Jennifer Lopez in custom white Chanel and Lady Gaga in Schiaparelli Haute Couture, completely stole the show.<\/p>\n

Wearing a plaid Miu Miu coat with embellished shoulders and a white Peter Pan collar, Emhoff, a student at New York\u2019s prestigious Parsons School of Design, instantly caught the attention of the millions of people watching, who commended her for her perfectly coordinated outfit, which effortlessly managed to outshine both pop stars and politicians. Not only did Emhoff catch the attention of prestigious fashion journalists, but, it turns out, she was also noticed by modeling scouts.<\/p>\n

IMG Models, the biggest modeling and talent agency in the world, which represents the likes of Bella and Gigi Hadid as well as Chrissy Teigen, announced yesterday that not only have they signed 22-year-old Gorman to their books, but Emhoff, too.<\/p>\n

IMG Models president, Ivan Bart, told<\/a>\u00a0the New York\u00a0Times<\/em> that brands are attracted to authenticity and consumers crave it. \u201cIt\u2019s not really about shape, size, or gender any more,\u201d he said. \u201cElla communicates this moment in time. There\u2019s a cheekiness and a joy she exudes.\u201d<\/p>\n
