Kamala Harris’ model stepdaughter Ella Emhoff dressed up as a bear for a brand new Mulberry campaign.
To mark the opening of its Wooster Street flagship store in New York City, the British fashion company – which is best known for its luxury leather goods, particularly women’s handbags – released a brand new zine called ‘Softie.’
Ella, 22, was photographed by Luisa Opalesky for the campaign, which featured her walking down the streets of Manhattan while donning a giant bear head.
She wore a black pants suit for the shoot, and accessorized the look with one of Mulberry’s Softie bags.

The model – who signed with major agency IMG not long after she went viral with her quirky inauguration ensemble – showed off her tattoos in one image that showed her clutching a bag
Other shots showed her cradling the white purse in a pink, polka dot dress. While a third featured her in a black gown, holding a red Mulberry bag.
Posing with an enormous fake animal on your head isn’t as easy as it looks – especially because Ella admitted that she couldn’t see anything in the costume.
‘I couldn’t see anything and just had to rely on people pulling me around and listening to Luisa’s voice,’ she said to Vogue Runway recently.
The model and designer recalled the photographer ‘climbing on basically anything she could’ and ‘falling to the floor’ to get the ‘perfect angle’ of her during the shoot, but admitted that the ‘best shots’ came more naturally.
‘Some of the best shots we got came when we were just walking around or heading to the next location,’ she recalled.

Ella made her runway debut at the Proenza Schouler show during New York Fashion Week in early 2021, after signing with modeling agency IMG
The 22-year-old – who is the daughter of the vice president’s husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and his first wife, Kerstin – was skyrocketed into fashion fame when she wore a Miu Miu tartan coat with crystal-encrusted shoulders and a wide collar over a burgundy Batsheva dress during President Joe Biden’s inauguration in January 2021.

At the time, IMG president Ivan Bart gushed that she represented ‘authenticity,’ telling the New York Times, ‘Ella communicates this moment in time. There’s a cheekiness and a joy she exudes.’
Later that year, she released her own knitwear collaboration with Batsheva, which sold out in minutes.
She also starred in her first Vogue shoot, celebrated her graduation from Parsons School of Design, and walked in Balenciaga’s show in Paris throughout 2021.

She has gained a lot of attention online for not shaving her armpit hair, previously posing for crochet brand Memorial Day while showing off her unshaved pits.
Ella grew up in Los Angeles, California, but after heading to New York for school, she fell in love with the Big Apple.
‘I wasn’t expecting to stay after college, but after creating a really strong community and life here, I couldn’t leave,’ she told Vogue Runway.
‘What initially drew me to New York was the freedom that I felt people had here, especially in the way people dress and present themselves.
‘I always felt a little embarrassed in LA expressing myself in the way that I wanted. Except for when I was in middle school. I really went for it then.
‘There’s so many amazing people doing really cool things [in the city]. It’s hard to not want to surround yourself with it at all times.’
