However, Lisa wears the same purple ensemble that Kamala Harris wore during the Wednesday inauguration, including the pearl earrings and necklace.
Alongside a composite of Vice-President Harris and her cartoon doppelganger, a fan on Twitter gushed, "Kamala Harris really is Lisa Simpson and I'm all for it."
