Ella Emhoff makes surprise NY Fashion Week debut after wowing at inauguration

Ella Emhoff made her surprise New York Fashion Week runway debut Thursday, a month after captivating the couture crowd at stepmom Kamala Harris’ vice presidential inauguration.

Emhoff, 21, modeled several pieces for Proenza Schouler’s Fall 2021 line in a socially-distanced show that launched online as the design duo’s latest contribution to NYFW’s semi-annual series.

The daughter of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and ex-wife Kerstin Emhoff signed with IMG Models a week after she appeared at the swearing in of President Biden and Vice President Harris wearing a bold Miu Miu coat and her now signature layered curls and wire-rim glasses.

Earlier this week, Ella, a student at New York City’s Parsons School of Design, attended a NYFW panel discussion with Proenza Schoulder designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez.

“She represents the story we wanted to tell with the collection. It’s the beginning of a whole new chapter in American history, in the kind of clothes we’re wearing and are attracted to. She’s the breath of fresh air,” Hernandez said during a preview, according to Women’s Wear Daily.

He admitted not knowing anything about Emhoff until her inauguration look enthralled fashion lovers on Jan. 20.

“She’s new-gen,” McCollough added. “She’s very much someone we’d hang out with.”

And Emhoff wasn’t the only prominent progeny to grace Proenza Schouler’s latest show.

Meadow Walker, the daughter of late “Fast & Furious” star Paul Walker, opened the moody movie that took the place of a live catwalk.

Walker, 22, previously said on Instagram that she was “unbelievably grateful” to Proenza Schouler for “trusting” her to model the line’s pre-fall designs.

“I’ll always remember the moment at our fitting when Lazaro told me I would be opening the show. I am so honored and wish I could give you the biggest hugs,” she wrote in a follow-up post Thursday.
