Throughout the program, subtle tributes to notable figures and movements took the form of outfits with meaningful color choices and songs with sentimental connections.
Here are some of the hidden details you may have missed.
Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan of Minnesota wore an outfit by indigenous designer Jamie Okuma on the first night of the convention.

A member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, Peggy Flanagan would be the first Native American woman governor in the US and Minnesota's first female governor if Gov. Tim Walz is elected vice president. She served as cochair of the Democratic National Convention.
Vice President Kamala Harris wore a tan suit by Chloé, which some theorized was a callback to Barack Obama's 2014 tan suit scandal.

In 2014, Obama conducted a press briefing while wearing a khaki suit, which conservative pundits criticized as unpresidential.
Harris' choice of suit for the first night of the convention may have referenced the low-stakes scandal in a case of subtle trolling.
Ella Emhoff wore a "Harris Walz" camouflage hat.

Women in Congress have worn "suffragette white" to events such as the State of the Union to honor women's suffrage activists who wore white while marching for the right to vote.
Clinton's speech also included a nod to "Suffs," the Broadway musical she co-produced about women's suffrage activists.

Her speech on Monday included the line "Progress is possible, not guaranteed," which is a lyric in the show.
She walked offstage to "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten, the hallmark song of her 2016 presidential campaign.

Business Insider's Katie Notopoulos wrote that "Fight Song" played so often at Clinton's 2016 rallies and campaign appearances that it now makes many liberals cringe.
Ashley Biden walked out to "Sky Full of Stars" by Coldplay in a nod to her late brother, Beau Biden.

"Sky Full of Stars" was Beau Biden's favorite song. Coldplay front man Chris Martin played at his funeral.
Like Clinton, she also wore suffragette white.

"Joe Biden is the OG girl dad," she said in her speech. "He told me I could be anything and I could do anything."
On the second night, songs played during the ceremonial roll call featured connections to the states.

The roll call was transformed into a dance party by DJ Cassidy, who played music while each group of delegates pledged their votes to Harris.
Some songs featured obvious references to certain states, such as "Sweet Home Alabama" for Alabama's delegates.
Other references were more subtle. For example, "Good Luck Babe" by Chappell Roan, a Missouri native, played during Missouri's roll call. Ohio played "Green Light" by John Legend, who is from Springfield.
The video that played before Doug Emhoff's speech was produced by his ex-wife, Kerstin Emhoff.

Kerstin Emhoff is a film producer and CEO of her production company, Prettybird.
The video that played before Doug Emhoff's speech provided insight into his family life and relationship with Harris.
On night three, former president Bill Clinton read from papers instead of a teleprompter and veered from his prepared speech.

Clinton's speech focused on the economy, but he also went off-script and spoke about his wide-ranging political career.
John Legend and Sheila E. sang "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince, a Minnesota native, before Walz's speech.

Walz was also joined by former members of the football team he coached at Mankato West High School in Minnesota.
On night four, the walk-on music for Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, a former astronaut, was "Fly Me To The Moon" by Frank Sinatra.

"I've flown into space four times. I've flown into combat nearly 40 times. Not once did I do that by myself," Kelly said. "It took a team to accomplish a mission. It always does."
Ella Emhoff wore a dress by Joe Ando, a TikTok-famous designer.
