Voting has never been so fancy.
Many people have been turning up at the polls rocking strings of pearls.
The elegant look isn’t just a fashion statement, though.
People are putting on their pearls as a show of support.
The sorority gives each new member a badge decorated with 20 pearls upon their initiation to the sisterhood.
“Pearls represent refinement and wisdom,” Glenda Glover, the sorority’s international president, toldVanity Fair.
“It’s a great gesture and show of support for Kamala.
What’s not great is appropriating it to RBG.
It’s an AKA thing to show solidarity among her sorority sisters.
Respect Black Women.”
“Ruth Bader Ginsburg was known for her signature collars and fishnet gloves,“they wrote.
“For her it was an intentional statement to wear something ‘girlie’ and ‘delicate’.
Honoring her on Election Day is a beautiful gesture for all women.
Let’s hey do so without stepping on others.”
Many people, however, donned their pearls in honor of both iconic women.
