Over the weekend cities around the world celebrated World Pride. Plenty of celebrities and politicians showed their support, attending parades and parties across the country. Bay Area native Senator Kamala Harris was in San Francisco—along with California governor Gavin Newsom and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi—for the occasion. And her outfit, an oversize denim jacket bedazzled with rainbow rhinestones, has gotten people talking.
The presidential hopeful spoke at SF Pride and rode along the parade route with husband Doug Emhoff, as well as Proposition 8 plaintiffs Kris Perry and Sandy Tier, according to SF Gate. (Harris married Perry and Tier in 2013, when she was attorney general.)
Senator Harris wore a sparkling denim jacket over a black T-shirt—with matching bedazzled text—and white jeans.
Kate Waters, traveling press secretary for the Senator’s presidential campaign, tweeted that it was from Levi’s—fitting, as the company is based in San Francisco.
Reporters on the scene shared their own snapshots of Senator Harris and her jacket from a breakfast held ahead of the parade.
Meena Harris, the Congresswoman’s sister, posted a video of the jacket, complete with a sparkling effect.
Naturally, the statement piece got people talking on social media.
On her campaign website, Senator Harris does have a special Pride collection—though the bedazzled jacket isn’t a part of it. Similarly, Levi’s released a special capsule for Pride Month, with all proceeds going to OutRight Action International, but the Congresswoman’s exact Pride outfit is nowhere to be found. You can, however, buy a special-edition version of the brand’s signature Trucker Jacket with a rainbow collar for $120.98, which will benefit charity. (Glamour has reached out to Levi’s for more information on Senator Harris’s jacket and will update this story when we hear back.)
Meanwhile in New York, another public figure was photographed wearing a glittery Pride-inspired look.
