Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez has been slammed for attending the ultra exclusive, elitist Met Gala on Monday night in a dress with the words 'tax the rich' plastered on them, in what she claims was a political statement but what others say is yet another example of her tone-deaf hypocrisy.
The 31-year-old socialist firebrand attended the event with her boyfriend Riley Roberts after getting ready at The Carlyle Hotel on the Upper East Side.
She claims she went for free to the event, where tables can cost upwards of $200,000, and that it was her responsibility to do so as an elected official.
'The Met Gala is seen as elite and inaccessible...As a working class woman, [I] wanted to enjoy the event but also break the fourth wall and challenge the industry,' she proudly told Vogue at the event.
But she has been slammed for supporting the event by many who say she simply wanted to enjoy the limelight while trying to pass it off as a political protest.
AOC - who previously posed on the cover of Vanity Fair and drives a $35,000 Tesla, wore a borrowed dress from Brooklyn designer Brother Vellies, a celebrity favorite run by Aurora James and had her make-up done beforehand by a Bobbi Brown artist. Her hair was styled by Vogue stylist Eric Williams and her shoes and bag were also from Brother Vellies.

Ahh... to be in high school again.
“Working class woman”. What utter hypocrisy. Six-figure income at age 31, grew up in Westchester County, drives a Prius, went to an expensive private college.
She’s a legend in her own mind.
I guess that young girl has lots of people paying her way.
lololol...a horse head dress...
she should have worn that Horse Head Dress....
Bought a Tesla
Looks very unappetizing.
Her boyfriend is white. That’s odd for a professional racist bitch.

I’m surprised her escort wasn’t George W. Bush and then I found out he had asked if he could clean the tables for the rich liberals after the event.
My Gawd, she really is an idiot isn't she?! Every time she opens her mouth she sinks lower. Any parent considering sending their kid to BU, look at AOC and reconsider.

The Puerto Rican cocktail waitress actually was there to work the cash bar.
I almost posted this article. The dresses these female (and male) creatures are wearing beg belief. UGLY, Stupid, tactless, surely very, expensive although....UGLY. Who with at least one functioning brain cell thinks these people are relevant whatsoever!? It’s nothing short of a freak show.
