Does anyone really care that Kamala Harris wore black to the debate, or even notice? From the Washington Post’s Robin Givhan:
Perspective: Kamala Harris wore black. That was both unremarkable and theatrically powerful. https://t.co/uItOtn7klJ

But people quickly came to Givhan’s defense, noting that she does have a Pulitzer for her past work and that this is an important piece of writing:
From my recollection she's the only person who writes about fashion who has a Pulitzer for that matter!

And if we criticize it, we’re being misogynistic:

OK, so let’s go read the article, shall we? Here’s the opener. Well, the corrected opener, anyway. . .
She was wearing navy, not black:
HAHAHA! So, why is the Washington Post keeping up the “black” headline? And as for the point of the article — that a woman wore dark colors on a debate stage in the first place, is it really that remarkable? From 2016:

Thank you, Hillary, for breaking the “navy” suit ceiling?
