According to a forthcoming book, Vice President Kamala Harris felt slighted andwounded by the cover photo of her that Vogue selected for its February 2021 issue and dispatched a top aide to complain to Anna Wintour.
The New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns will be releasing excerpts of This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future in May.
The image was shot by Tyler Mitchell and featured Harris casually dressed in a Donald Deal pantsuit and sneakers in front of a background that featured green and pink fabrics.
The Harris team was off guard when the image was leaked. The choice of Harris dressed more casually failed to give her the respect and gravitas that she deserved, and that the lighting and background portrayed the vice president-elect in an unflattering light.
Harris was wounded and asked aides if Vogue would depict another world leader this way.
According to the book, Harris went directly to Wintour to express his displeasure with the image. The book said that Wintour selected the photo herself and thought it made Harris moreatable.
The team at Vogue loved the images Tyler Mitchell shot and felt the more informal image captured Vice President-elect Harris, which we feel is one of the hallmarks of the Biden/Harris administration.
The cover photo for the digital issue and a special, limited edition print issue to commemorate the inauguration was different from the one used in the Vogue shoot because it showed the vice president more formally dressed in a powder blue pantsuit with a simpler gold background.
Tensions between the office of Harris and the West Wing were a major theme of the book.
The book said that when Tina Flournoy became aware of the uproar over the cover image, she raised it with a senior Biden campaign official. With the nation still reeling from the January 6 insurrection and the COVID-19 epidemic still raging, the Biden adviser told Flournoy that it was not the time to be fighting with Vogue.
Tina, the adviser said, these are first-world problems.
A representative for Vogue did not return a request for comment.
The authors of the book said that Harris felt disrespected by White House aides not standing when she walked into a room as they did for Biden. Flournoy brought the issue to the attention of the White House adviser.
Harris was unhappy with the portfolio of issues she was assigned to handle, which included voting rights, immigration, and US relations with the Northern Triangle countries.
They wrote that Harris was re-signed to the assignment of the Northern Triangle nations and did not hesitate to criticize Biden for portraying her as a border czar.
