Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s Daughter Luna Met Kamala Harris in ‘Mini Power Suit’ and Mary Janes
Chrissy Teigen revealed on social media that her and John Legend‘s 8-year-old daughter Luna met Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House in June — in an “adorable mini power suit” and a pair of black Mary Jane flats.
Luna channelled her inner politician for her visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., wearing a light pink suit reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy’s 1960s charm — just in smaller proportions. Hailing from Self-Portrait’s kids department, the bouclé skirt and jacket featured thin criss-crossing lines creating an understated pattern of squares.
The jacket was further elevated by a rounded white collar with a lacy overlay. Meanwhile, the skirt’s scalloped hemline contributed a sophisticated flair to the outfit. Mytheresa sells the skirt for $165 and the jacket for $225. Had mom and daughter wanted to match, Self-Portrait also has an adult variation of the skirt and jacket available from Neiman Marcus.
Luna’s suit was coordinated with black Mary Jane flats — a classic and refined choice for a meeting with the vice president. Mary Janes are known to feature a low, curved vamp that leaves the majority of the top of the foot uncovered; the hallmark of the style is a strap across the instep. The strap on Luna’s shoes seemed to be slightly higher than normal, buckling the shoe just below the ankle. Her shoes ultimately tied her outfit together, matching a dainty shiny bow on the collar of her jacket.
From Christian Louboutin to Gap, children’s Mary Janes can be purchased from a myriad of brands as it remains a wardrobe staple for all ages.
In the caption for the photo she shared of her eldest daughter at the White House, Teigen reflected on the importance of representation, writing, “It’s a powerful reminder of what can happen when young girls are able to see themselves in the person who holds the highest office in the land. And my favorite part? Tearing up with the knowledge that this will be a photo Luna will look back on forever.”
Luna is no stranger to the classic shoe style — while at the Paris Olympics with her family this summer, she wore patterned light pink Mary Janes to match a sequined dress. Meanwhile, her mother appreciates a wide range of footwear, from the strappy heels pictured above to green crocodile-embossed boots from Paris Texas.
