Ella Emhoff is making a name for herself in fashion.

The 21-year-old daughter of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris made her New York Fashion Week debut while attending a panel discussion with Proenza Schoulder.

She wore a yellow tie-dye top, black trousers, round wire glasses and voluminous curls.

The Proenza Schouler panel Emhoff attended was held in person and also viewed virtually as a part of the New York Fashion Week: The Talks which is a series of fashion-related cultural conversations held every season.

Following her Inauguration Day style donning an embellished houndstooth Miu Miu coat, IMG Models announced that Emhoff signed on as one of its newest faces.

The prestigious modeling agency is also aligned with notable supermodels such as Gigi Hadid and Ashley Graham as well as celebrities Ciara and Selena Gomez.

"It's not really about shape, size or gender any more," Ivan Bart, the president of IMG Models told The New York Times, "noting that what brands are attracted to, and what consumers want, is authenticity. "Ella communicates this moment in time. There's a cheekiness and a joy she exudes."
