The magazine was criticized for getting “too familiar, too fast.”

- Vogue released two different cover images for its February edition featuring Vice President Harris.
- Some preferred the digital cover, saying the print cover was too casual and even disrespectful.
- Now, the magazine is selling a limited number of print editions featuring the alternate cover image.
On the campaign trail, politicians are meant to be approachable, even casual, someone you’d want to have a beer with. But in office, they hold a power that has historically been shown a different level of respect.
As the first Black woman to hold the position, Vice President Harris is no longer “Kamala,” in black jeans and Converse sneakers, and Vogue — which was criticized for being too casual with its original cover — is recognizing that with a special edition of the magazine.
“In recognition of the enormous interest in the digital cover, and in celebration of this historic moment, we will be publishing a limited number of special edition inaugural issues,” said Vogue on their website, where the issue is available for $7.99 (plus sales tax).
Vice President Harris herself reportedly preferred the second photograph, which shows her in a powder blue suit with an American flag pin on her lapel, arms crossed in front of a gold backdrop. The other photograph, in which she was wearing Converse (a campaign trail staple), was in front of a pink and green backdrop, the colors of the vice president’s historically Black sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha.

Harris team says it was blindsided by VP-elect’s Vogue cover

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has landed on the cover of the February issue of Vogue magazine, but her team says there’s a problem: the shot of the country’s soon-to-be No. 2 leader isn’t what both sides had agreed upon, her team says.
Instead of the powder blue power suit Harris wore for her cover shoot, the first African American woman elected vice president is instead seen in more casual attire and wearing Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers, which she sometimes wore on the campaign trail.
Harris’ team was unaware that the cover photo had been switched until images leaked late Saturday, according to a person involved in the negotiations over how Harris would be featured on the cover. Harris’ office declined comment and the person spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity.
Representatives for Vogue did not respond Sunday to emailed requests for comment.
