The Most Daring Met Gala Outfits That Redefined Fashion’s Biggest Night
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Tax the Rich” Gown by Brother Vellies in 2021
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive congresswoman from New York, made a huge splash at the 2021 Met Gala with a bold fashion move. For the “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” theme, she wore a white off-the-shoulder gown by Brother Vellies that featured the phrase “Tax the Rich” in red satin across the back.
Designed by Aurora James, the activist behind the 15 Percent Pledge, the dress clearly stated economic inequality and challenged the gala’s elite nature. AOC used fashion as a powerful tool for political expression, and her gown remains one of the most talked-about looks in Met Gala history.
