Gorman gained widespread attention during the inauguration of President Joe Biden in 2021, where she recited her poem “The Hill We Climb.” For the event, she wore a striking buttercup yellow Prada coat and a red satin headband styled as a crown. Gorman repeated her partnership with Prada at the 2024 Met Gala, where she was seen in a dramatic off-the-shoulder gown.

The 2024 Democratic National Convention is taking place in Chicago. Held to officially nominate Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate and affirm her choice of Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota for vice president, the event also had its share of fashion statements.

On Tuesday, Michelle Obama took the stage in a Monse crisscross jacket. On Monday, Jill Biden sparkled in a custom Ralph Lauren dress and Hillary Clinton brought her signature style in a tweed suit.

The DNC will end on Thursday with Kamala Harris’s official speech as the Democratic nominee.
