Chrissy Teigen Is ‘Still Glowing’ Reflecting on a Core Memory Daughter Luna Made This Summer
Over the summer, Chrissy Teigen’s 8-year-old daughter Luna made a core memory when she met an influential figure — and the Cravings author is “still glowing” thinking about it. Teigen shared a stunning photo of the moment Luna met Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House and reflected on the deeper meaning behind it.
“I’m still glowing from this moment when my Luna (in her adorable mini power suit) met VP Harris at the White House this past June,” Teigen wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. In the picture, Luna looks gorgeous in a little pink-and-white jacket and matching skirt, black flats, and a sparkly pink purse. Her curly brown hair is half pulled up away from her face, and she has a huge smile on her face as she walks through the door to meet Harris. The 2024 Democratic presidential nominee greets her in a deep purple suit. You can’t see Harris’s face in this picture, but we can just imagine she is offering a huge grin in return.

“It’s a powerful reminder of what can happen when young girls are able to see themselves in the person who holds the highest office in the land,” Teigen continued. “And my favorite part? Tearing up with the knowledge that this will be a photo Luna will look back on forever.” How sweet is that? Luna probably doesn’t even realize the historic moment she shared this summer, but she will appreciate it more and more as she gets older!
The Chrissy & Dave Dine Out star also shared how “incredibly inspiring” it was to watch Harris at the Democratic National Convention last week (where her husband John Legend performed), “passionately addressing the issues that matter deeply to us and our children.” She continued, “From maternal and reproductive rights, to the economy (which she accurately highlights as a women’s issue), gun violence legislation, and affordable education, her dedication and vision gives me so much HOPE for the future. Kamala isn’t just the kind of role model I want for Luna, she’s also exactly the leader we all need right now. Now let’s go DO SOMETHING! #HarrisWalz2024”
“If she can see it, she can be it. Representation Matters. ??????” one person commented. Another wrote, “Oh this picture ????. This is so beautiful! ??????”
On June 20, Teigen joined Harris on stage at the White House to host a Q&A session for reproductive rights activists, physicians, and influencers. Her husband and their kids Luna, Miles, 6, Esti, 19 months, and Wren, 13 months, watched in the audience, and at one point, Teigen turned to address her eldest daughter directly. “Luna, my girl, I hope that you see all of the incredible people, mainly women, in this room, and I hope that when you grow up you want to fight for justice in the way that we do, unapologetically and without fear, and know that your body is your own, and nobody can take that away from you,” she said, per Elle.
Afterward, Teigen told Elle, “Maybe it’s a selfish thing, but to have [Luna] get to see me up there speaking to our vice president made me so happy. She said she was proud after, and that made me proud. And I know that she’s going to do really big things too, and I’m excited for that. I’m excited for her to be unapologetic and staunch in her convictions and be ready to fight this fight, because it’s not going to end anytime soon.” She continued, “We’re going to take two steps forward. There’s always going to be another back, but hopefully we can always make our way towards progress.”
