Kamala Harris's grand-nieces pay stylish tribute to new VP: 'Special coats to look just like Auntie's' Erin Donnelly The fans who wore Converse and pearls to honor Kamala Harris on Inauguration Day weren’t the only ones paying sartorial tribute to the newly minted vice president. The trailblazing political leader also got a style nod from her two grand-nieces, who took inspiration from a childhood photo of the future VP. Meena Harris — daughter of Harris’s younger sister, Maya — revealed on social media Wednesday that the matching animal-print fur coats worn by her two daughters were inspired by a similar hooded coat worn by a young Harris in a 1972 photo with Maya and their Indian family members: mother Shyamala and grandparents P.V. and Rajam Gopalan.
