Politicians, celebrities and spectators dressed up for the Democratic National Convention this week.

While the DNC, taking place August 19-22 at the United Center in Chicago, isn't exactly the place to see every fashion trend, there have already been a number of authentic fashion moments that made a compelling case for fashion's place on the political stage.

Of course, the most viral fashion moment came from Vice President Kamala Harris herself, who this week becomes the official Democratic presidential nominee. Harris took the stage on Tuesday, the second night of the convention, wearing a stunning brown two-piece suit by Chloé, consisting of a tailored double-breasted jacket and heel-grazing trousers, both made of wool grain de poudre and with gold-tone details.
