! On first glance, the congresswoman appeared to be wearing a gorgeous off-the-shoulder white gown with a tulle train, but the second she turned around, we saw her iconic political statement:"Tax the Rich" plastered across the back of the dress in bright red lettering.
It's not lost on us that AOC chose the statement Brother Vellies look for one of fashion's most extravagant, glamorous nights. As Aurora James so perfectly said,"If you're going to come somewhere like the Met Gala and you're a congresswoman, you expect nothing less." Ocasio-Cortez completed the outfit with red heels with flowers, as well as a matching"tax the rich" bag. Ahead, see the look from the front and back.
Annettebooth101 AOC Love you AOC ! Please always be true to your roots. I know you will. You are the person I adore most in politics, by far. You're not for sale. You stand for up for yourself and your people. You're my new Tupac. Don't take any guff! I fucking love you! California adores you! 🙏✊🏼
AOC Oh so powerful- not. And shea member of the working class? So hypocritical.
AOC All kinds of ironic! It is indeed ‘rich’ that this wealthy child wants to tax those who’ve worked hard to earn financial success. She can donate all her money to the government and then I will consider taking her seriously.

AOC Does the illogic of this escape you?

AOC What a double standard phony!!! Womp! Womp!

AOC In response to all the “why is she there?” “Tix cost thousands” “ that dresscosts thousands” 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
AOC As a Brit looking at this from the other side of the pond, I think AOC used this occasion to make a very valid statement, which I’m sure most of the celebs agreed with. Another bonus was she happened to look good in that dress which can now be auctioned for charity.
AOC Who paid the $30,000 for her ticket?
AOC When did political officials start going to the Met Gala? I wonder what all those rich celebs thought of her dress.

AOC I'm a liberal Democrat...and can't believe how stupid it was of AOC to wear this...or even go to the MetGala. Don't care if someone else paid for her ticket--that money could have been put to better use. Shame on you, AOC, for making such a gaffe. Do better!

AOC EVIL!🔥👀😳
AOC What I really love, is when her supporters are clear headed enough to see and admit that this is disingenuous and completely hypocritical. Good for you.
AOC As much as I can not stand her, I did love the dress
AOC Why is she there? I thought she was a politician, not a celebrity. Who bought her ticket if she's not rich? Tax prayers? It's $30,000 a ticket. That's the most important statement right now? Taxes? Nothing about 9/11? Afghanistan? The anniversary was 3 days ago. Chasing clout
AOC It's 'Eat the rich'. Taxing them isn't enough
AOC Some people FoxNews will work extra hours! I hope they dnt have a heart attack or knock themselves out. AOC even though I do not agree with her sometimes, she does know how to get on people’s nerves and get them talking about her.
AOC Loved her look and dress! ❤️
AOC A better looking & more appropriate response to Melania’s statement made at the border. Way to go AOC! AOC is very beautiful - she doesn’t need to make that statement, it’s just so obvious, but this dress shows her commitment to her hard work for equality & helping the people.
AOC Having someone represent us at the Met Gala= PRICELESS.
AOC AOC looked beautiful at the Met Gala last night. For those criticizing cost of dress: 1, You don't shop at Walmart for a dress to the Met. 2. The publicity was amazing for our cause. 3. That dress has now become iconic, it will be bought by a museum or collector, $$$ 4Charity?
AOC
AOC She enjoyed herself and the words ring every so true! Entirely appropriate 💅🏾
AOC Hell yeah!
AOC Tax the rich in a $35000 dress. 🤣🤣🤣
AOC Rich people are rich from their investments not their work taxes are ultimately paid by working class either directly or indirectly when we pay for goods and services it’s imposible to tax the rich without sacrificing working class. 🤯
AOC Cringe so many things I don’t get on this 🤯
AOC 😄 Stupid.
AOC ♥️♥️♥️♥️
AOC I’m a bleeding heart liberal and this is so disingenuous.
AOC EAT The Rich😤😤 More importantly tho, here's a vetted list of unhoused/barely housed folks in urgent need👇 instead of performative messages, let's help ppl DIRECTLY. Direct cash mutual aid saves lives! Thank you!❤️
AOC yikes
AOC Aren’t the wealthy at MetGala I’m so confused.
