Pulitzer-prize winning columnist makes EMBARRASSING correction to her WaPost piece on what Kamala Harris wore to the debate

Does anyone really care that Kamala Harris wore black to the debate, or even notice? From the Washington Post’s Robin Givhan:

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!

OK, so let’s go read the article, shall we? Here’s the opener. Well, the corrected opener, anyway. . .

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:
