Kamala Harris' Outfit at the NAACP Awards Caught Attention: 'Not Tailored Well at All'

The former Vice President stole the spotlight at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards — but not just for her speech.

Kamala Harris's outfit quickly became a hot topic online, sparking a flurry of mixed reactions as netizens weighed in on its bold style and unconventional fit.

Attending the 56th NAACP Image Awards on February 22 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, Harris, 60, was there to receive the prestigious Chairman's Award—a recognition of her long-standing commitment to public service and social justice. Yet, despite the evening's significance, it was her striking fashion choice that had everyone talking.

Mid-speech, Harris stood behind the microphone, using expressive hand gestures to engage the audience. She wore a black, oversized pantsuit with a structured blazer, broad shoulders, and loose-fitting trousers that pooled slightly at her feet. A high-neck inner layer completed the formal look.

While some viewers applauded the boldness of the look, others questioned its tailoring. "Too big in the waist if they were going to cinch it. Should've been tailored more or leaned into the boxiness more, it’s a weird middle ground as it is," one commenter wrote.

Another added, "It is SO HEAVY looking and the upper arms are not tailored well at all." Still, not all the feedback was negative. Some found the style refreshing, "I love that suit!!"

Whether praised or criticized, Harris's look once again proved that style remains a powerful part of public discourse.
