After a successful political career, President Biden has officially passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris, endorsing her as the Democratic nominee Sunday evening.

In a tweet posted to his X account, the President shared “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this“

The news was met with support from many US citizens acknowledging Biden’s tremendous legacy in politics over the past 5 decades, and political officials endorsing and standing behind Harris.

In fact, Harris has already made measurable strides within the first day- breaking a fundraising record with $81 million in the 24-hour period since Biden’s announcement.

With a dedicated focus on the US Health Care System, women’s reproductive freedom, education equity, climate change and economic policies, Kamala is the next best candidate to lead our country. She has proven over the past 4-years in her Vice President role that she is capable of effectively co-leading our nation, while doing so in style.

Ahead, see our ‘top 4’ favorite Kamala Harris looks over the course of her time in office as the Vice President.

1. Custom Christopher Rogers

During the inaugural ceremony on January 20, 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris was sworn in wearing a brilliant purple Christopher Rogers coat with pearls by a Puerto Rican-American designer named Wilfredo Rosado. We love how Harris opted for designers of color for such a historical moment, giving them a spotlight for a lifetime.

2. Custom Sergio Hudson

On another occasion at the White House Correspondents Dinner in April 2023, Kamala Harris dazzled in a custom blue Sergio Hudson sequins gown that shimmered and glistened throughout the evening. Accompanied by her husband Douglas Emhoff of 10 years, VP Harris looked absolutely incredible and exquisite.

3. Custom Christian Siriano

If anyone know’s how to wear a suit, it’s certainly Vice President Kamala Harris! During the State of the Union address, the VP wore a custom maroon suit by Christian Siriano with a matching silk charmeuse top. Not only did Harris looked sophisticated and polished but she evoked strength and power.

4. Custom LaQuan Smith

Yesterday, Harris made quite an entrance during her first official visit to her campaign headquarters on Monday as she walked out to Beyoncé’s song “Freedom.” Back in August 2023, Harris looked stunning on her way to Beyonce’s Renaissance tour in a gold LaQuan Smith sequin top that she styled with white trousers. Not only was this look fabulously appropriate and a home run, but it was an indicator that she understood the Renaissance assignment.

We love to see Madam VP Kamala Harris leading in style!

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are letting us know that they are OUTSIDE all summer long, with the most fashionable looks in rotation.

The ‘Fashion Killa‘ duo who bet on black for the evening, were photographed leaving the Mercer Hotel in New York City on Saturday night.

RiRi wore a black long sleeve top with $1,050 black Vetements distressed jeans and $1,190 embellished Gucci pumps. Her vintage Prada eyewear offered a sporty element to her all black outfit that gave us early 2000 vibes.

Contrary to his superstar bae urban flare, A$AP Rocky suited up with a black double-breasted oversized suit, and statement red tie.

His designer tortoise frames looked timeless, and worked exceptionally well with the color palette of his ensemble.

When it came down to their iconic hair styles, it was great to see Rihanna mirror A$AP Rocky with her neatly done cornrow braids.

While Rocky is known for his signature cornrow braids with intricate designs , this hairstyle was a change for Rihanna who recently debuted her natural curly hair for her ‘Fenty Hair’ campaign.

From their hair, down to their stylish outfits, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky brought the heat for date night in New York.

After just being spied yachting in Hamptons last month, Beyoncé and Jay-Z were recently captured ‘stying and profiling‘ on a private plane together.

In true summer fashion, Bonnie and Clyde opted for fresh white and blue hues. Jay-Z was all smiles while rocking a white crew neck top with light blue denim jeans and a white slouchy bucket hat. His black aviator shades, diamond necklace and iced out watch let us know ‘he’s all about the benjamins’.

Bey, on the other hand served paisley realness in a navy and white Golden Goose set that included an oversize $540 paisley print pajama shirt with the matching $480 pants.

Inspired by the original bandana print, Yonce’s Golden Goose set was made in Italy and had a flowy silhouette. Her shirt featured mother-of-pearl buttons and a detachable logo patch for added wow-factor.

She accessorized with a custom cream and white cowboy hat, skinny rectangular shades, and a $6,000 blue Bottega Veneta large Intrecciato duffle bag.

The ‘Freedom’ singer diamond earrings felt so chic next to her bold red lip. We thought Beyonce looked so fierce in this Golden Goose look and even off stage, she’s still coming through with the looks!

They called it a ‘wedding of a century’ as Billionaire Anant Ambani tied the knot to his wife Radhika Merchant over the weekend in Mumbai, and the Kardashians sisters Kim and Khloe shut it down.

Along with other celebrities like Justin Bieber, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, Kim and Khloe arrived in India to celebrate the newly weds in traditional Indian attire.

The Kardashian sisters looked absolutely incredible in custom Manish Malhotra ensembles that were embroidered and hand beaded to perfection.

Kim’s ivory Iehenga set featured an off-the-shoulder silk blouse embroidered with floral motifs and light gold details.

The ‘Skim’ founder’s look was completed with Malhotra’s signature Mijwan dupatta that was adorned with scalloped zardosi boarders and dramatic pearl tassels.

Both Kim and Khloe’s mug shot was on 10! They looked flawless with diamond jewels that hung down their face. Their maang tikka forehead jewelry was stunning, and Kim’s nose chain gave us real Indian tease.

Country to her sister’s Ivory palette, Khloe Kardashian looked pretty in pink. The ‘Good American’ founder, who is aging like fine wine, glistened in a rose pink chiffon saree for her first visit to India.

Her ensemble was intricately hand-embroidered with silken threads, pearls, sequins and crystals that added a radiant charm to such an exquisite creation.

Completed with a signature blouse that featured elegant cowl tassels that drapes over her left arm, the pearls added a touch of glamour.

Her wrist and fingers were dripping in diamond jewels that stood out against her pink mini Hermes Kelly handbag.

‘Challengers’ star Zendaya returned to Wimbledon Saturday afternoon donning a Ralph Lauren ensemble that felt classical and offered a fun take on preppy fashion.

Sitting side by side with her mother Claire Coleman, the mother and daughter duo had that same facial expression in observation of the game.

Zendaya’s beauty shone through as she intently watched the game in a white Ralph Lauren blazer, that she styled with a pinstripe shirt and an oversized navy knit tie.

Her straight blonde strands with loose curls perfectly framed her face, and her natural make-up and softly pink lip showcased her gorgeous facial features.

When it comes down to style, we have to admit that Zendaya and Law Roach are the perfect fashion duo to turn heads in the best way.

The ‘Culture Care’ Booth at Essence Fest Highlighted Health & Wellness for Black Women Through Telemedicine: Culturally & Digitally

Posted by Rashidah Young

We are in a new era where health care is now available digitally, and ‘Culture Care‘ offers telemedicine, connecting black doctors with black women.

The ‘Culture Care‘ booth at Essence Fest shed light on the vast disparities within the U.S. health care systems when it comes to women of color.

Our Fashion Bomb CEO, Claire Sulmers was on the scene and shared her own personal experiences with health care inadequacies, while also advocating for health care equality.

“Adequate health care should not be a luxury,” expressed Sulmers. “Culture Care offers black women the opportunity to consult with black doctors who look like them at an affordable rate. It’s the bomb!“

The Olivia Pope of ObGyn, Dr. Joy A. Cooper spoke about maternal health and mortality within the black community due to discrimination in the medical field.

“When it comes to health, black women are more likely to die in pregnancy than other races; we are also more likely to have asthma and heart disease,” shared Sulmers.

The proof of prejudice in our health care system is in the facts, and as black women it is essential that we have a team of black doctors who are capable of providing high-quality care for our utmost wellbeing.

Did you know that 79% of black women are overweight or obese? That’s more than half of the black women in our community, and it comes with many risk factors such as heart disease, hypertension, liver disease, and diabetes.

If you are someone who is overweight, it’s important to first acknowledge that you have work to do, and then implement healthy eating habits and exercise into your lifestyle.

On CultureCare.com, black women are able to get honest feedback virtually with the best intentions of propelling their health, instead of allowing it to disintegrate.

Whether you are seeking care for fertility, fibroids, therapy, or even postpartum, doctors Aaliyah Hodge, Stephanie Brown and Joy A. Cooper are available to help you at the comfort of your own home.

With healthcare at your finger tips, there is no excuse not to take action should you need to. Don’t have insurance? No problem as everyone pays the same to see the ‘Culture Care’ physicians. This year is the best time to prioritize your health as it’s one of the highest forms of self love.

You can book your appointment in California, NY or PA and get 30% off this summer if you use code CLAIRE30 for Essence’s 30th festival.
