The Fenty Beauty founder is the latest celebrity to weigh in on the upcoming election, with a host of famous faces throwing their weight behind Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Taylor Swift, who previously described the current vice president as a "steady-handed, gifted leader," also urged people to vote as she wrapped up her Eras Tour shows in the US.

Meanwhile, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger said his children would be voting for Harris.

Alongside photos of him with six of his eight children, the 81-year-old wrote on Instagram: "Don't forget to vote – Jagger kids are voting for Kamala."

Harris has harnessed star power as she focused on battleground states in her bid for the White House, with Beyoncé, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Lopez, and on Monday, Lady Gaga, among those to have appeared at her campaign events.

Polls have opened across large swathes of the US, with well over 80 million people having already cast their votes in an election expected to be historically tight.
