Kamala Harris has run for (and held) public office, and on Monday, at the Met Gala 2025, she walked into New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, joining a few hundred carefully selected invitees for fashion’s biggest night.

Kamala Harris made her Met Gala debut. Her appearance was one of the evening's biggest surprises, with her steering clear of the red carpet and making her way straight into the event in a custom black and white gown designed by Ib Kamara.
