US Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris will be on Vogue's February cover. However even before the edition is released, it ran into a controversy. The magazine which released two photos of Harris from its February edition has sparked instant outrage for 'whitewashing' or lightening the skin colour of America's future Vice-President.
Vogue, in a tweet on Sunday, 10 January, made public a photo of 56-year-old Harris wearing her trademark Converse sneakers, standing in front of a pink and green drape. The other, a more formal one, shows her in a powder blue suit, with her arms crossed in front of a gold background.
