In a bold move, the United States representative, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, fondly known as AOC, turned heads after she wore a gown on the Met Gala's red carpet with a political message on it. The US Congresswoman grabbed eyeballs for her stunning white off-shoulder gown with "Tax The Rich" written in bold red. The political message by the Democratic leader was made on fashion's glitziest night, which was also her debut at the Met gala event. 

People were not surprised to see her carry a political message but were in awe because of their daring attitude in a place full of rich spectators. Earlier, in 2019, AOC proposed taxing the wealthy Americans by up to 70 percent to help the Green New Deal. At her first Met Gala event, the 31-year-old looked stunning in her "Tax the Rich" gown, which was designed by Aurora James, director of Brother vellies. The US representative accessorized her outfit with hoops and a red bag that also read "Tax the Rich", completing her attire with a pair of red heels designed by James. Alexandria sported a neat ponytail along with bright flowers and bold makeup.
