Kamala Harris‘ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff has been branded a ‘new style star’ after turning heads in three stunning outfits at the inauguration yesterday.
The 21-year-old textile student, who is the daughter of Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff and his ex-wife Emmy award-winning film producer Kerstin Emhoff, sported a bedazzled brown coat from Italian designer Miu Miu, before taking it off to show a burgundy tea dress from independent New York designer Batsheva Hay, at yesterday’s inauguration.
As soon as Ella stepped onto the platform at Capitol Hill next to her 26-year-old brother Cole, Twitter and Instagram was flooded with posts calling her a ‘style icon’ while many interpreted her collar as a nod to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died in September.

‘My mood board was very “little girl,” in a sense, a lot of scalloped collars and big silhouette shoulders and small buttons.
‘I was going for something girlier, to embrace my feminine side—especially after that suit that I felt so great in—because, like, how many times do you prepare yourself to attend an inauguration? This momentous of an event deserves a momentous outfit,’ she said.
Dozens have taken to social media to praise the second step-daughter’s style.

Speaking to FEMAIL, stylist and fashion blogger Simon Glazin said: ‘We have a new style star connected to the new administration. All eyes on Ella.
‘Looking statuesque, cool and chic all at once is hard to pull off, but she managed to do it! This Miu Miu coat, with it’s gorgeous embellishment and oversized collar is a statement. And really establishes herself as a sartorial dark horse.
‘Ella definitely has her own unique style – quirky, eccentric and street – you only have to look at her Instagram for that. But this Miu Miu moment took us all by surprise!’
