'The Simpsons' predicted Kamala Harris' purple inauguration outfit 21-years ago?

The popular animated show The Simpsons seems to have yet again predicted the future as the new US Vice President Kamala Harris wore an inauguration outfit very similar to Lisa Simpson. Joe Biden and Harris scripted history on January 20 as they were inaugurated as the US President and Vice President. For the ceremony, Harris chose to wear a symbolic purple dress and coat designed by two black designers and her outfit was also a nod to Shirley Chisholm, who was the first black woman to run for US President as part of the Democratic Party. 

Following the inauguration, Twitteratis were quick to point out that Harris’ outfit was eerily also similar to Lisa Simpson. An adult version of Lisa wears the outfit when she becomes President in the time-hopping 2000 episode ‘Bart to the Future’, in which she takes over from Donald Trump. In Episode 17 of Season 11, Lisa can be seen wearing the exact same dress as Harris, a purple dress with a coat and a string of pearls around her neck. 

According to the New York Post, the same episode also predicted the presidency of Donald Trump and how it ended. Creator Matt Groening had also admitted that The Simpsons predicted Trump would become president. A Twitter user noted the similarity on Twitter, joking that it was a “bit n the nose”, even in the pantheon of ‘Simpsons’ predictions.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time that the animated series’ predictions were on point. Actor Tom Hanks hosted a 90-minute show called Celebrating America for Joe Biden's inauguration as President of the United States. As this news of him as the host was announced, an old picture from the popular animated show The Simpsons came to light. The cartoon predicted that Tom Hanks would be addressing the public on the US government’s credibility.

The Simpsons predictions left fans in wonder and the news started going viral in no time. Fans thought that as the show predicted, Tom’s words at the inauguration would help calm the current national mood. The Simpsons have also predicted other news earlier such as the popularity of the Farmville video game, smartwatches, and a Donald Trump presidency.
