Rep. Ocasio-Cortez sends political message in first Met Gala appearance, wearing a floor-length white gown with 'Tax the Rich' emblazoned in red.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit Monday night's Met Gala red carpet with a not-so-subtle message.
The New York Democrat wore a floor-length white gown with"Tax the Rich" emblazoned in red on the back of the dress, which was designed by Aurora James. “When Aurora and I were first kind of partnered, we really started having a conversation about what it means to be working-class women of color at the Met, and we said, 'We can’t just play along, but we need to break the fourth wall and challenge some of the institutions,'” Ocasio-Cortez said during a red carpet interview with James.

The annual over-the-top gala is hosted by Vogue editor Anna Wintour at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The theme of Monday’s event was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion."
