That was <strong>Miu Miu<\/strong>, of course. She accessorized with black leather gloves and round wire glasses, and pulled her hair back with a matching headband. Underneath, she wore a modest, burgundy dress featuring a high neckline and puffed sleeves and a ruffled hem from <strong>Batsheva<\/strong>.

Ella&#8217;s Instagram page is full of her delightful designs, which are made from scraps of old clothing and cheery, rainbow yarn. Ella&#8217;s latest creation was a hand-knit Tweety Bird purse with pink trim, along with a blue and black striped maxi dress with spaghetti straps that she also knit herself. Another notable creation?

Ella Does Her Own Tattoos<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-10\">No, really. Ella revealed recently that she learned how <a  href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2021\/01\/12\/chrissy-teigen-tattoo-spine-john-legend-lyrics\/\"  >to tattoo<\/a> because she got &#8220;bored&#8221; during quarantine. She&#8217;s already given herself some stick-and-poke ink to match the art she already had &#8212; a cow and a birthday cake. &#8220;I did the classic: I did my dog&#8217;s name, and I did a little flower. [Then] I recently did my first big boy: [a] salmon fish with a flower hanging out of its mouth. It&#8217;s super fun. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s something I would ever want to pursue [professionally], but it&#8217;s fun to just do it to yourself or do it to a friend,&#8221; she said in her <em>Garage<\/em> interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamala Harris&#8217; stepdaughter is officially a college graduate.
