After Vice President Kamala Harris, 59, covered FashionIn the October 11 digital issue, people flocked to X (formerly Twitter) fearing there was a “Vogue curse.”
President Biden’s wife, Jill Biden, appeared on the cover of Vogue on July 1, 2024, and dropped out of the race on July 21.
Because Kamala is now the cover star of Vogue, some people on social media believe she may be experiencing the same ‘curse.’
“Vogue cover spells a curse in 2024,” Connecticut-based portfolio manager Andrew Fisher tweeted, stoking fears by sharing Jill Biden’s cover.
Andrew explained: ‘Do you remember the last time Vogue featured Dr Jill on the cover? Just a few days later, Joe was out. Is this what they call the Vogue curse?

President Biden’s wife, Jill Biden, appeared on the cover of Vogue on July 1, 2024, and dropped out of the race on July 21.
One X user responded: “There’s a Sports Illustrated curse, not a Vogue curse, but dude…smh.”
Andrew continued: “She should be more worried about the Vogue 2024 curse than some debate that will never happen.”
Another X user clarified: “Wouldn’t Doug Emhoff have to be on the cover for this “curse” to apply?” referring to Kamala’s husband, the potential Second Gentleman of the United States.
Doug on the cover would be the equivalent, since Jill was the First Lady at the time and Joe was not on the cover.
One X user responded: “There’s a Sports Illustrated curse, not a Vogue curse, but dude… smh.”
The Sports Illustrated cover curse is a belief so strong that it was covered by Psychology todayas it shows players who were featured in the magazine and then had terrible seasons.
PT explained, “When a player or team does something exceptional enough to earn a spot on the cover of Sports Illustrated or Madden NFL, there’s basically nowhere to go but down.”
Another person mentioned the curse of sports magazines, tweeting: ‘Kind of like the curse of Sports Illustrated, Vogue cover, you’re gone! Dr. Jill is calling me!
SI got another comparison when someone said, “The last time Vogue put a political figure on the cover it was Jill Biden.” At the time it was published, Joe Biden was kicked off the list. Maybe Vogue is the new “curse” of Sports Illustrated. And this will make Dr. Jill furious.
Some didn’t see the comparison, as Biden’s resignation was unprecedented.

Vogue previously released two covers, one for the print edition and a digital alternative (pictured) in 2021.
In the weeks leading up to Inauguration Day in 2021, Harris appeared in an issue of Vogue looking casual in Converse sneakers.
‘Why do you call it a curse after a negative incident?’ one person questioned.
Vogue’s cover called the Democratic presidential candidate the “candidate of our times” as she posed in a Gabriela Hearst suit and her famous $800 Tiffany & Co. pearl earrings, which are part of her extensive jewelry collection.
However, some people on social media believed Kamala’s photos looked too retouched and thought the cover looked like AI.
Kamala previously covered Vogue in 2021, appearing dressed in her signature Converse sneakers along with a black suit jacket, black skinny jeans, and a white T-shirt.
