PHOTOS: The major fashion moments from Night 1 of the 2024 Democratic National Convention

fashion at the DNC

On Monday, the 2024 Democratic National Convention arrived for its four-night stint at the United Center in Chicago.

Night one launched with a punch with powerful speeches from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock, President Joe Biden, and a surprise on-stage appearance by Vice President Kamala Harris, ahead of her acceptance of the party nomination on Thursday.

While the focus was clearly on highlighting key issues in the Democratic party platform and continuing the enthusiasm for the Harris/Walz campaign, the halls of the DNC were also filled with stylish fashion choices that contributed to the uproarious joy of the night.

From Jill Biden‘s club dress to Kamala Harris’ tan-talyzing power suit, the DNC was serving patriotism eleganza for your nerves.

Check out the major fashion moments from night one of the DNC…

Hillary Clinton

Hillary honored the 19th century women’s suffrage movement – and her pantsuit army – by donning an off-white tweed suit. It was also a slight nod to the crisp white suit she wore to accept the party’s nomination at the DNC eight years ago.

As the celebrity host of night one, the 64-year-old actor brought all the President Fitzgerald Grant vibes in his dark power suit. Someone get Shonda Rhimes to reboot Scandal, stat!

Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett

On top of serving zinger after zinger (“Will a vindictive vile villain violate voters’ vision?”), Crockett was giving early Janelle Monae in this chic black and white pantsuit with a dazzling brooch. We stan a rising star queen!

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear

It was a casual Monday for Beshear who bucked the norm by going tieless under his suit, which was right on brand for the Democratic governor of a red state.

First Lady Jill Biden

The First Lady sparkled in a glittery blue long sleeve Ralph Lauren dress that some online described as her “revenge dress,” “freakum dress” and “club dress.” The Vogue cover girl came to slay! Get it, Dr. Biden ma’am!

Vice President Kamala Harris

Harris winked at Barack Obama‘s 2014 “scandalous” tan suit with her chic Chloe two-piece ensemble in a similar color. A rare throwback moment for a presidential candidate propelling us swiftly into the future.

    DJT goes from being a POS to a SCAB.

    POS becomes SCAB

    Lt Gov from MN, soon to be Gov of MN was gorgeous.
    As was Kamala, but then again, she always is.

    It was exciting and everyone was happy. Everyone spoke of truth and positivity for our future. Spot on that we still have to fight and work hard to get Vice President Harris to win and become the 47th president of the United States for the next 4 years and hopefully 8.

    Our favorite ladies did not disappoint at the DNC…. from AOC to Dr Jill, from Hillary to Jasmine to Kamala Harris. Smiles, happiness and hope abounded!

    Let’s finish the job!!!

    Why were there so many empty seats?

  • abfab

    Yourheadisempty.

    Wood must have seen the recent polling in North Carolina. He is spiraling again.

    Speaking of packed arenas, last night’s doubled arena nomination and acceptance was stunning. The United Center in Chicago was full to the top and MVP Harris & Gov. Walz packed (19,000!) an arena in Milwaukee up the road! The DNC’s state roll call was unlike anything I’ve ever seen at a convention, so full of life and excitement and Lil Jon (wow!), and the Obamas’ speeches were for the ages. Whether you support them or not, the DNC convention is rocking. Now, let’s have a real ceasefire and end to the war in Gaza.

    Were there any Democrat governors calling for the rape of JD Vance’s family like the first night?

    I love it when Democrats say (and believe) they take the “high road”.

  • eclecticstarz

    This is simply not true.

  • Kangol2

    Perhaps W00dy listens to FoxNews/Breitbart and not his own ears because no Dem gov called for JDV’s family to be r@ped but Dems have called out JDV’s gross callousness and cruelty in the face of rape and sexual abuse leading to impregnation. JDV’s comments suggest he wants to force little girls and women to bear children produced by sexual violence, even if birth complications could lead to their deaths. He’s called it an “inconvenience.” Not pro-life, pro-family or humane in the least.

    Wrong. It’s called a search engine; like Google. Instead of embarrassing yourself, try it.

    Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Tuesday morning to discuss his terrible speech and the rest of the disastrous night at the DNC. Following a question from Mika about abortion, Beshear slammed Vance for comments he supposedly made about pregnancy resulting from r*pe and whether a woman should be able to abort her child in that instance.

    He then bellowed that Vance should have to experience the pain of a member of his family being r*ped and forced to give birth to a child. Yes, Beshear was wishing someone would sexually assault a member of Vance’s family and Vance to experience the pain.

    Pure evil.

    Your brain is an engine. And it’s shot.

  • eclecticstarz

    but Vance did say that and that is not what Beshear said.

  • abfab

    There is never a shred of honesty or truth from the logcabintroll…whatever name she chooses to use this week.
