Kamala Harris’ cover shoot for Vogue is drawing chatter online — as critics note that the image of the Democratic presidential nominee appears to be heavily airbrushed.
The Condé Nast-owned fashion magazine hired famed photographer Annie Leibovitz to snap images of the vice president, who was declared by the magazine to be “the candidate for our times.”
“Only rarely are individuals summoned for acts of national rescue, but in July, Vice President Kamala Harris received one of those calls,” the fashion mag wrote.
The talk on social media, however, was how the magazine made the 59-year-old Harris appear younger.
One commenter on X wrote: “holy Photoshop Batman.”
Another X user opined: “The airbrushing on Kamala’s Vogue cover is HEAVY.”
An X user who identified themselves as “Deplorable Rick / #MAGA” posted an image of Harris which depicts “what she really looks like.”
Others noted that the photo shoot took place on Oct. 7 — the one-year anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks that killed 1,400 Israelis along the Gaza frontier.
That same day, Harris claimed that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wasn’t taking her phone calls about offers to assist in recovery from Hurricane Milton. DeSantis refused to take the call.
“The reason Kamala Harris was mostly MIA on the one-year anniversary of the Oct 7 slaughter/kidnapping of Israelis is because SHE WAS DOING A VOGUE PHOTO SHOOT,” wrote journalist Julie Kelly.
Brigitte Gabriel, a conservative commentator, wrote on X: “I don’t know what’s worse. A. The fact that Vogue is featuring Kamala Harris on their cover OR B. The fact that Kamala Harris was MIA on October 7th because she was doing a photo shoot.”
“Kamala did her Vogue photoshoot on the anniversary of the October 7th massacre,” wrote Jordan Schachtel on X.
He added: “It was the same day she injected herself into the disaster relief conversation, claiming that Ron DeSantis wasn’t taking her phone calls about the hurricane.”
The Post has sought comment from Condé Nast.
Harris graces the cover of the October digital edition of Vogue. The print version of the magazine features singer Billie Eilish on the cover.
The photo shoot shows Harris wearing one of her own Gabriela Hearst suits and what appears to be the now-infamous Tiffany earrings that were worn during the debate with former President Donald Trump.
The debate night jewelry sparked a slew of conspiracy theories that Harris had been fitted with clip-on audio headphones disguised as pearl earrings.
The airbrushed images come on the heels of a fresh controversy surrounding CBS, which has come under fire for editing a “60 Minutes” interview with Harris that critics said was a deliberate attempt to make her answer appear more coherent than the rambling response given in unedited footage.
Former CBS staffers on Thursday demanded that the Tiffany Network brass investigate the discrepancy between the footage of Harris that aired on “Face The Nation” on Sunday morning and the truncated version of the interview that was broadcast on the “60 Minutes” prime time special on Monday.
The Trump campaign has demanded that CBS release an “unedited transcript” of the “60 Minutes” interview.
