Ella Emhoff: New York Artist & Vice President's Stepdaughter

Meet Ella Emhoff, a 25-year-old textile artist and model with a unique twist: she's also the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite her political connection, Ella has made a name for herself in New York's creative scenes, far from the Beltway politics. Her fashion statement at her stepmother's inauguration catapulted her into the spotlight, but Ella remains true to her artistic roots. Growing up in Los Angeles, Ella and her brother Cole were named after famous musicians. Their father, Doug Emhoff, married Harris in 2014, merging their families into a blended household. Ella now attends Fashion Weeks, walks runways, and even hosted a knitting club at a Brooklyn creative space.

But being in the public eye also means dealing with criticism. Ella clapped back at a Republican senator who suggested Harris was disconnected from America because they were “childless. " Despite the scrutiny, Ella stays grounded, surrounded by her creative friends in New York. Ella's also dabbled in politics, speaking at the Democratic National Convention and supporting her stepmother's campaign. Critics might think she's just a typical political child, but Ella's art and involvement in political and fashion spaces show she's more complex.
