Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Wears 'Tax the Rich' Dress to Met Gala.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D. N.Y) wore a white dress with the words ‘Tax the Rich’ in large red letters across the back in her debut appearance at the Met Gala on Monday evening.

The dress was created by Brother Vellies, according to Vogue.



“We must always continue to push ourselves, push our colleagues, push the culture and push the country forward. Fashion is changing, America is changing. And as far as this theme goes, I think Alexandria and I are a great embodiment of the language fashion needs to consider adding to the general lexicon as we work towards a more sustainable, inclusive, and empowered future,” Brother Vellies founder and creative director Aurora James said.
