Pecohub A surprising last-minute endorsement of Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign came via a subtle post from Rihanna.
The singer-turned-business-mogul expressed her support for the VP on Instagram. She used a not-so-subtle sign to showcase her interest in seeing Harris take over the White House — a tan suit hashtag.
The tan suit trend resurfaced in August when Kamala Harris boldly embodied Barack Obama’s controversial beige style. The former president also applauded her for rocking the outfit while endorsing her as her campaign.
The “Rude Boy” singer shared a close-up video of herself in a car, pretending to be incognito with dark sunglasses and glancing out the window nervously. “POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport #votecauseicant,” she penned in the overlay text.
Rihanna showed her support for Harris in the post’s caption, highlighting the VP’s fight to restore reproductive rights and Donald Trump’s support of the overturned Roe v Wade. She wrote:
“When protecting pussies and firing pussies can happen all in one vote #votecauseicant #TanSuitSeason.”
Her post received supportive responses from fans, many echoing similar sentiments about voting for Harris. “Protect the P at all costs. Mom’s, Daughters, Grandmothers,” a comment read. Another IG user added:
“VOTE, our lives are literally at risk. If you are a POC or a woman, this election could affect you greatly. The orange man is literally trying to take away our rights and our freedoms. #kamala4president.
Ahead of accepting the presidential nomination for the Democratic Party in August, Harris appeared at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in a tan suit. She donned a tan Chloé blazer and matching trousers, embodying the controversial style Obama rocked a decade ago.
The former president applauded her fashion sense on X, sharing side-by-side images of the pair in their tan suits. “How it started. How it’s going. Ten years later, and it’s still a good look!” he captioned the post.
Obama sparked backlash when he wore his tan suit in 2014 during a live White House press briefing regarding the ISIS situation in Syria. At the time, critics claimed his outfit lacked “seriousness.”
