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.

Working class woman?! LOL!

Saw that, it was a vast improvement not having to see her face cakes with makeup. Not to mention actually covering something up from the neck down for a change.

$35,000.00 a head for a tax the rich.. they should have charged NY ~61% tax (~$21,350.00) or $56,350.00. That would have helped making the statement.

Note to AOC: The rich can screw with their income, can’t they, to avoid income taxes. If you really wanted to soak the rich, you’d be for a confiscatory wealth tax. Do you support that...?

Most fashion people go for the “iconic dress.” AOC decides to wear an “ironic dress.” Oops.

And repeatedly illegally parks her Tesla in no parking zone at Whole Foods, completely unable to even be ticketed with her congressional tags.

I didn't know you could get a Tesla for under $50K.

It is suppose to be an over the top event. Check out Imam’s outfit which is getting rave reviews

Naomi was trying to honor her Asian culture but the powers that be say she missed the mark.

Looking to see what Billy Porter wore. If he wasn’t there he may not be vaccinated

and that it was her responsibility to do so as an elected official.

I think she means it's a perk as an elected official.

“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.”

Idiot? Maybe. But she’s the right kind of idiot. She is prospering, becoming wealthy beyond most people’s dreams. She will one day be a senator, and perhaps something more. It’s not her, the commentary is on her supporters.

We have collectively become stupid beyond description.

The Carlyle Hotel’s basic rooms rent for ~ $1,000 per night. Of course, she stayed, “for free”...

“However, a handful of celebrities announced they would not attend this year’s Met Gala, including Nicki Minaj, who said her absence was due to the event’s vaccine requirements. Other notable absences included Lady Gaga, Blake Lively, Zendaya, Billy Porter, and Harry Styles”

Who bought the ticket? Campaign or donor? If the latter, is not the gift too large to legally accept? If the former, were there specific donations to the campaign for the purpose?
