The magazine had faced a torrent of criticism last week, who deemed
the photo of Kamala Harris in sneakers
"too casual"
for the cover of the print edition of the February issue, and slated to coincide with the nomination. of the Democratic tandem formed by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
This shot had been chosen to the detriment of a more classic photo, showing Kamala Harris in a light blue pantsuit, arms crossed, on a neutral background.
The two photos, of black photographer Tyler Mitchell, however, appeared together on the magazine's online version.
Some had also accused the magazine of having wanted to
"whiten"
the skin color of the first woman of color elected to the American vice-presidency.
These criticisms had forced the all-powerful boss of
Vogue
, Anna Wintour, already contested during the major protests against racial inequalities of 2020, to defend her choice last Tuesday.
She had assured to have
"absolutely no intention, in any way, to diminish the importance of the incredible victory of the elected vice-president"
