“We must always continue to push ourselves, push our colleagues, push the culture and push the country forward. Fashion is changing, America is changing. “And as far as this theme goes, I think Alexandria and I are a great embodiment of the language fashion needs to consider adding to the general lexicon as we work towards a more sustainable, inclusive, and empowered future.”AOC’s political statement swiftly did the rounds on social media, with users sharing pictures of the New York Democrat walking the carpet ahead of the event, where she rubbed shoulders with some of the world’s biggest celebrities.

Tickets to the 2021 Met Gala, held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, cost $35,000, while tables started at $200,000.
