The stepdaughter of US Vice President, Kamala Harris, regularly delights fans with her edgy and unique sense of style - and that includes her curly, mullet hairdo.

Fans almost didn't recognize Ella with her new hairstyle

Her fans loved it too and commented: "Dandelion puff," and, "absolutely gorgeous".

The daughter of second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, hadn't planned to forge a career in the modeling world and she told The New York Times: "I was pretty surprised when everything with IMG was happening because when I was younger, I never saw that as being part of my timeline.

"As someone who, like a lot of young girls out there, had self-confidence issues, it is intimidating and scary to go into this world that is hyper-focused on you and the body."

Ella's fans love her bold and edgy style 

But she hopes to be a "part of that change," and make a bold statement for herself and other young women. 

Ella has opened up about her edgy appearance in the past and said she is delighted to put her "really weird tattoos and kind of funky haircut" on display.

But since kickstarting her modeling career, she's also proven she can do glamor too with shoots for Balenciaga and she looked completely different in Dust magazine as well.
