Ella Emhoff, the style icon.

I totally approve. The best of the inauguration (Daily Mail).

So grimly fun and playfully in-your-face. I feel resonance with the old hippie movement.

Emhoff is a design student at Parsons so it must be presumed that this is all quite intentional, not just something she geekily stumbled into. Ah, yes:

Speaking to Vogue, Ella, who is in her final year at the Parsons School of Design in New York, explained how she had the bespoke look made. 'My mood board was very “little girl,” in a sense, a lot of scalloped collars and big silhouette shoulders and small buttons. 'I was going for something girlier, to embrace my feminine side — especially after that suit that I felt so great in — because, like, how many times do you prepare yourself to attend an inauguration? This momentous of an event deserves a momentous outfit,' she said.

She's studying textiles, specifically knitwear, and wants to have her own knitwear business. Great! I wish her big success.

Here's her Instagram page, for lots more pictures.

Well you would, wouldn’t you.

wait a minute?
IF Commie Law Harris is a Person of Color, HOW COME HER "DAUGHTER" is a JAP*?
Commie Law's supposed to be one of Us, what's she doing living with THEM?
It's Almost as if, she is a Complete Lie. Next thing you know, we'll find out that her 'black' father BOASTS of being from a slave owning family

JAP* Jewish American Princess

Ummmmmmm

MayBee said...

What does the first link go to? I don't want to accidentally click on something that uses up my free articles somewhere for Ella Emhoff. I'm not sure who she is?

David Begley said...

The coat, in black, costs $4,950. Hypocrite.

Mikey NTH said...

"I feel resonance with the old hippie movement."

That's 50 years ago - it would be like feeling resonance with the 1920's back in the hippie era.

MayBee said...

I clicked through her Insta, and what I want to know is if that kitchen is part of her apartment as student in NYC.

Kai Akker said...

Ella's den could be a heavily subsidized leftwing project?

KJE said...

I’ll pass. Thanks.

Oh, no. Whoops. That's edited out.

Will add a reference. Sorry.

"That's 50 years ago - it would be like feeling resonance with the 1920's back in the hippie era."

I guess you don't follow fashion!

In the hippie era there was resonance back to the 20s! It was openly celebrated.

Fashion regularly revisits old eras.

Breezy said...

Gloomy affectation with nature’s armpit. So edgy. No thanks.

Lucien said...

Love the armpit hair. Is it retro, or an homage to “Portlandia”?

Humperdink said...

Nice crop in the armpit.

mezzrow said...

This is from 1966. It was omnipresent on the radio.

It only took 24 hours for the media to fall back in love with non-American fashion designers. Not that gauche foreign stuff, worn by that charwoman Melania.
What I read yesterday was the Harris administration brought back into vogue, the great American fashion. I was never under the impression Harris was going to ignore foreign designers, while finishing of her term

Ann Althouse said...

"I clicked through her Insta, and what I want to know is if that kitchen is part of her apartment as student in NYC."

It's a beautiful kitchen, and I think it's fine to be forthright and not pretend she's not a rich girl. She's casual about material things.

Ann Althouse said...

Politics aside, I like Emhoff's approach to fashion. Melania and Ivanka left me cold. They were *trying* to be cold, I believe, so I credit them with success. Their message felt like: We can do this but you can't. The plastic surgery, the over-worked hair, the mask of makeup. It's liberating to get Emhoff strolling onto the stage after them.

Temujin said...

It's good to be one of the Chosen People. And by that I do not mean a Jew. I mean, a ProgElitist.

Jeez. Melania could not catch a break from these same people.

Ann Althouse said...

I remember how wonderful it was to get mods and then hippies after the uptight artifice of the late 50s and early 60s (with the stiff skirts and teased bouffant hair).

Sydney said...

The crocheted bikini looks like something you would find on Etsy.

Sally327 said...

If I had the time or will to do it I would keep a list of everything that is ok and good again. Just a few days ago the president's children were either autistic or criminals and the VP`s children non-existent but now the kids are cool again, even stepchildren are to be celebrated.

This isn't hippie though or maybe just the Hollywood version of it. I think you are remembering mod. Hippie would never be so self-conscious.

daskol said...

Good ink. I sorta want to give her a bath. I can't tell if that's a fatherly inclination or not.

Heartless Aztec said...

She even has "our" furniture - the orange couch. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a stereo tv console in the room. All that's missing is tbe peace sign. That said, I wonder if Ahn Kim could let out the waist of my old purple bell bottoms with the green piping. My hash pipe belt buckle and desert boots are in the closet somewhere... I guess we've stood still long enough that far out fashions have circled back around. It's a heavy concept. Spacey.

Ralph L said...

She needs a hairdresser and a few good meals. At first I thought it had rained.

Added note: we were hippie surfers in the late 60's and the hippie surf chicks that hung with us on the coconut and Thai stick trail were all wearing crochet bikinis. They were happening.
The chicks and the bikinis. ✌️ peace.

--- ... and not pretend she's not a rich girl. She's casual about material things. [AA]

Aren't almost all subsidized kiddies casual about material things? They usually have little or no idea what it takes to earn them in real life.

In this specific case, for someone like Ella and all the friends who observe her and her life, the importance of becoming politically connected may be the main lesson they draw, if they draw any. There's even a name for it in the DSM: Nan Pelosi Syndrome.

The problem is, these subsidized kiddies start making political decisions and commitments of their own. Ella, in days to come; and beyond her, so so many of the children of our unmatched affluence. They begin to assume everyone should have access to similar material things (similar, but not as good). Correction, they assume everyone of whom they approve while looking faintly down upon for their inferior economic status should have access to similar, but definitely not as good, material things.

And so they vote Democrat, imagining that that is a better world. And knowing that that is the way to insider rewards.

Sebastian said...

So, white woman steals the show from "black" woman?

Anyway, Melania's worst is better than this woman's best (if this is her best).

Unlike this person, Melania was the model immigrant. But she wasn't nice and quirky, in the way that nice conformist American women, into "fashion," would like to think of themselves as quirky.

Let's all imagine what the MSM and Althouse would have said if Melania had worn such an outfit.

"Ice princess pretends to relate to ordinary people." "Glamour model trying too hard." "What, now the Trumps are trying to look deplorable too?" "Cultural appropriation." Etc. etc.

stlcdr said...

'Hairstyles'. I c wot u did thar. Har har.

BillieBob Thorton said...

Everything old is new again

Kai Akker said...

Btw, how do you know Ella Emhoff is casual about material things?

Idea: Deprive her for a couple years and see if that is still the case.

Browndog said...

What an ugly woman.

Kai Akker said...

Ugly? Well, maybe to your eyes. Maybe to mine. But that picture with the crocheted bikini pieces is the young Bob Dylan all over again. Ann swoons!

MayBee said...

Thank you, Althouse.

I see what you did there.

MayBee said...

Is she?
As long as I know that's what we're doing now, with our privilege and whatnot. Jan 20 ushered in a whole new era. Woosh!

gilbar said...

re: the skinny kid, with the sideburns under her arms...
okay; OBVIOUSLY, Ella doesn't use meth.... That's for losers!
but; can we all agree, that she (like most modern young dems) is a daily Aderall user?

Rusty said...

Not particularly talented. Very retro, but not innovated. Pits are off putting if you're going to wear a bikini top.

rehajm said...

Go ahead and enjoy the bohemian nature if the era if you must but don't try to convince me of the value of the fashions. All y'all were grubby slobs...

MayBee said...

The problem is, we don't know anything about her. We hold up these rich kids as some kind of chic ideal, and then we're reading about the coolest boy in the world's tragic overdose death at 24.
Their parents make them Instagram famous, and then we are reading about getting into college through a cheating scandal, or dropping out of college due to eating disorder problems.

So, yeah, its cool she knits and its weird she didn't know her dad was going to teach classes at Georgetown and maybe she doesn't need to be a thing.

Mr Wibble said...

Make bustle skirts great again.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Yup.. Emma is the new Mod.

MCM furniture. Retro hippie clothing and styling. Natural (hairy) armpits. Drugs. Free love. Power to the people...(but only the RIGHT people screw everyone else).

Coming attractions....Soon to come...more foreign wars and a 1970's style recession with sky high inflation and interest rates to the moon. Read it and weep.

We have come full circle. I really don't want a rerun. Thanks.

Bob Boyd said...

There's something Handmaid's Tale-ish about her coat collar and that red dress with boots.

wendybar said...

Nasty. She looks like a boy. Why is looking like a refugee vogue??

Todd said...

Bold move with the "unshaven" nativist look. Likely held the purse up that high and that way to be sure to get the pit shot in. Could have easily held it up with the elbow bent but then the pit hair would not have been visiable.

Bob Boyd said...

She's part of that John Tester country meat cult.

Wince said...

Reminds me of a junior high chemistry teacher who had the worst dandruff in the world.

A avalanche of crystalline granules, rather than flakes, colored orangey yellow that poured over his collar and shoulders.

Team Biden is about to unleash at least three trillion dollars on the global economy and nearly a year's worth of pent up demand. We're going to get a couple more quarters of record GDP growth and Team Biden is going to tell us fifty times a day it is because of their policy decisions. So we'll get more fuel for the fire simultaneous to the hobbling the economy with stifling taxation and frightening regulation. It is not a recipe for the advancement of humanity.

Always been big bucks. A heaven for old money and second generation rich kids. A good friend from high school got to go only because he was extraordinarily talented and was orphaned in elementary school. I bet it made them feel good about themselves...

THANK YOU!!!! for saying that. That crochet piece is something that a rank beginner the age of 8ys old would be able to make. Something that Mommy says is wonderful to boost the ego of her precious darling. That's cool for little kids. This is a grown adult and still needs the coddling of Mommy to prevent tantrums.

Her work is not attractive, not gifted, not skilled, not even functional....but you know we are going to have this insufferable git shoved down our throats for the foreseeable future.

wildswan said...

I'm reminded of John Lennon. It's that serious look with those glasses. Imagine John Lennon at Biden's inauguration. But as a woman she is loyal to her Dad so she dresses like a little girl, behaves well, is seen and not heard. But imagine.

It's about $50,000 a year just for tuition. What is it with a decent place to live and some food? $100,000?

Ann Althouse said...

Are we taxpayers going to be asked to pay back the loans of students who went to schools like that? And will families that came up with the money out of their own funds feel ripped off? How much do you need to make a year before you're comfortable paying $100,000 a year to send your daughter to college?

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Joe Smith said...

She would be a cutie without the pits and the tattoos. Easy to see she's not related to her 'mom.'

She is already leveraging her family connections and starting the grift.

So not as dumb as her 'mom' either.

Of course we are...and you'll be made to like it. It will be cloaked in terms of 'equality, fairness,' etc.

I know you didn't vote for prez this year, but all of your other past D votes led logically to this. The government spraying cash everywhere.

Once the feds took over student loans and the colleges knew there was a spigot of cash out there, the cost of college took off like a rocket.

Make the colleges accountable for some of that money. They should be co-signers to the loans. If your little precious can't pay it back, let the schools kick in some.

I do wonder about this. We saved our whole adult lives to get our kids through college without student loan debt.
If they are going to pay off other people's student loan debts, I would like a deposit into my retirement account- where the money would have gone had we not been paying for college.

Sorry but there needs to be a "certification" test in order for someone to wear yoga pants in public. Your average American does NOT deserve to be subject to some of that!

Todd said...

Oh, and don't forget Ann, you will also be expected to help bail out all those blue states that pissed away their own money on great retirement perks for their municipal employees while never ever setting aside enough to cover it through their normal budget process.

I am surprised that was not another BadTouchBiden day 1 EO. I am sure Congress is already teeing it up. The SALT deduction is "fixed" as well, I am sure.

Charlotte Allen said...

Am I missing something? She looks terrible! She couldn't even keep that $5,000 coat on straight--the lace collar was flipping up. And what was with those weird pants--and the high-top sneakers. Plus, she really needs a hair stylist, or, barring that, a comb. About the Instagram photo with the armpit hair and the hideous chartreuse checked bikini, the less said the better. But I'm someone who loved the way Melania dressed: always elegant, understated, and ladylike. always respectful of her audience Melania was the first genuinely glamorous first lady we'd had since Jackie Kennedy. And she was even more beautiful than Jackie.

I'm old enough to remember hippies. Hippie clothing was awful: Garish colors, saggy bellbottoms, piled-on neck chains and bangle bracelets, moth-eaten boas, rumpled hats, ugly tie-dye--and don't forget the vests! And the headbands! See Janis Joplin as prime exemplar. The one saving grace that hippies had was that most of them were young, so there were a lot of good-looking (although shaggy) men and pretty girls underneath that getup.





Iman said...

I knew a hippie chick... a beautiful blonde, golden brown Caliunicornian who I went to high school with and who went with a chum o’ mine for a few years after graduation. Her only physical flaw was her insistence on sporting hair on her legs (blonde, so it wasn’t too jarring) and underarms (deal breaker).

Kathy, you stoned fox, I hope wherever you landed, Lady Schick had a presence.

Joe Smith said...

@AA

"How much do you need to make a year before you're comfortable paying $100,000 a year to send your daughter to college?"

From my experience sending two boys to an expensive private college, I'd say about 5- or 6-x.

So it wouldn't really impact your life if you make $500-600k.

The 'bad' year for us was the one overlap year with both boys in college at the same time.

PM said...

Good luck in business. Xlnt education.

dustbunny said...

As David Begley noted her coat (from Miu Miu, a division of Prada) cost nearly $5000. Seems like the same message the Trumps sent “we can do this but you can’t” only this time it’s couched in pseudo-hippyness. You can do this if you have rich parents is the messsge I get. The world of fashionista debs is back, baby!

Joe Smith said...

Hard to see how you are not being political in your assessment. Why else would you compare Emhoff age 22 with Ivanka age 39 and Melania age 50. A fair comparison would be Emhoff with Tiffany Trump.Harris, age 56 and J. Biden, age 69 have both clearly had lots of cosmetic surgery, wear makeup masks, and have professionally groomed hair just like the older Trump women.

Ann asked:

Short answer: Why, yes, we are. We are also going to foot the bills for those incurred tons of debt for advanced degrees in "______ Studies".

And will families that came up with the money out of their own funds feel ripped off?

Short answer: Yep.

How much do you need to make a year before you're comfortable paying $100,000 a year to send your daughter to college?

Answer: Not sure but The Boy is 16 and is looking at colleges. My wife and I are weeping.

Yes, you are missing the goodness of badness, the special prettiness of ugly, awkward stuff on a lovely young woman.

Hey, AA...don't blame me, I think she's cute : )

But I will predict that she will become just another grifter like Chelsea Clinton before her, earning mountains of cash without any discernible accomplishments other than being part of a politically-connected family.

But like I said, a cutie.

Lurker21 said...

Ann Althouse: you love her because she looks so much like a young Bob Dylan.

DavidUW said...

I've noticed in old people a tendency to view any young thing as "pretty" or "handsome" when, in likelihood if the old person were also young, they would not hold that same view.

Objectively, she is not pretty. If you're not convinced, look at some other attractive young people. You live in Madison, for god's sake. At least when I was there, that face would never rank a turn of the head never mind a word.

The pit hair and bad tats just make it worse.

"Objectively she's not pretty? When did human looks become an objective concept?"

We agree (miracle). Yes, there is such a thing as 'scientific beauty,' proportions, symmetry, and all that.

But some of the most beautiful women I've known, others have considered 'plain.'

"270k followers. Almost 30k likes for that post. She must be doing something right."

Having a step-mom as senator and VP has a LOT to do with that. Don't infer competence or credentials because of who she's related to. Without Harris, she has 2 percent of her followers and likes if she's lucky.

DavidUW said...

Readering,

She's not pretty.

Yes, there are people who are ugly that nearly all people consider ugly. Fran Leibowitz, Eleanor Roosevelt.
There are people who are nearly universally considered pretty. Jennifer Lopez. Ingrid Bergman.

There are the majority, like this one, who are plain. She's plain, at best. I'll agree she's not ugly to everyone, but again, I wouldn't F her with Hunter Biden's dck.

She is certainly not pretty to the normal median aged American male, and as I stated, if she were walking down the street, she would not merit even the slightest turn of the head.

and/or
B) Amphetamines (probably Adderall), just like in the old days

Check this out. Me and my buds, in 1970, in our Revolutionary fervor, mimeographed a hundred copies of some kind of Environmental dreck , to carry to Princeton University, to speak truth to power. It was Earth Day!

So, check this out. We drive to this seat of Institutional power, Princeton. NJ to educate the polluters of all that was holy.

We get out of the car, each with 30 copies of our Environmental Manifesto.

It was a windy day. The wind took from us the mimeographed sheets and spread them across the campus parking lot.

Our youthful exuberance ended up being a case of littering. We didn't save the Earth that day.

Makes me think of the young Hillary Clinton in granny glasses and striped pants, and the astonishing orange and blackish-blue “FU” print shift Melania Trump wore stepping off the plane in Miami.

Melania is the one who pulls off liberation and weirdness best. I’ll take Girl from Ipanema vibe over “stinky folk concert.” She probably had enough with enforced dowdiness in her Communist bloc youth. No 100K per year Parsons degree, no millionairesse on the public dime playing little orphan shopgirl in a 5K coat, no nasty old mittened socialist with three houses paid for by us. Just a mom who worked in a textile factory, made her own clothes — and modeling career — and speaks more languages than an entire stage of Democratic female leaders with fistfuls of elite degrees.

Melania’s blue outfit on Election Day in 2016 beat the heck out of the army of monotone coat-dresses this time. At least we see less of Michelle Obama’s weird outfits. I know this is a minority view here, but I think Obama is an attractive woman. But mid-thigh iridescent boots under a mess of yellow drapery? I wish somebody talented had dressed her once in a while.

In Melania, it was also refreshing to see someone who clearly wanted to leave Washington DC, for a change.

Ann Althouse said...
"Are we taxpayers going to be asked to pay back the loans of students who went to schools like that? And will families that came up with the money out of their own funds feel ripped off? How much do you need to make a year before you're comfortable paying $100,000 a year to send your daughter to college?"
My youngest daughter went to one of the better art schools in California. And the only reason she did is because she could live rent free at her sisters house. It was still a sacrifice for us but she graduated without any debt. I'm resentful as hell at the thought that I and many other responsible taxpayers will be paying for other peoples college degrees.
One thing I noticed while my daughter was at art school. Basically two kinds of students. Those with passion and no talent and those with drive and plenty of talent. A lot of the former were children of wealthier parents indulging the kids passion. The girl above reminds me of one of those.

I take a break for a few days and I come back to this pitiful nonsense.

I'm not sure if I'm more disappointed at the idea of Althouse genuinely ushering back in the era of "let's all lick Democrat asshole and pretend we're eating ice cream cones!" or her pretending to so she won't get cancelled.

Peace back out, y'all.

Oh Lord, Pants. I read your post and felt a cool breeze waft over the landscape.

I have to be circumspect, and don't want to associate you in anyway with the 'Petition for the Address of Grievance' at our 'citadel' of 'Democracy' a few weeks ago. The petition was rejected before it could be heard. That's where we are. Just as our 'courts' refused to hear our petitions.

It always comes down to mud and blood in this world. Sometimes a breeze comes up. Soldiers turn their faces up to it, to revel in it.

Here's what I know about Ann Althouse. She's measured. I cannot fault her. I don't think she cares if she's cancelled. I don't know her. I've never met her.

The truth is in the cool breeze that wafts over a soldier's face.

In this world. Not of it.

and, here we go!
Ella Emhoff is Kamala Harris’ 22 year old step daughter.
8 days after the Inauguration she suddenly lands a modeling contract with IMG Models.


remember! she did NOT get the modeling contract 'cause of nepotism; she got it because of her Poise, and Deep Beauty!
