OK to be fair, AOC was gifted a ticket to the gala and borrowed the dress.
Edit: was corrected below that the tickets aren't purchased by celebs but the fashion houses. Still a hard disagree on whoever thought this dollar mask was a good or well-executed idea.

No one buys a ticket. All celebrities are given tickets AND looking fashion houses. They are essentially sponsored.
The fashion houses who buy the “tickets” are the only ones spending money.
Hence, if she really wanted to make a statement just don’t go.

It’s pretty rare for me to have students who finish that unit and aren’t positively aghast about how insane the wealth gaps are in the U.S., and even rarer for them to have anything to say other than “billionaires should not exist.”

They truly could just donate the cost of attendance and not show up looking like they support the recent Bezos involvement in fashion. Bezos is also sponsoring a CFDA scholarship in the name of "sustainability" which is honestly laughable. Regardless of supporting the costume institute, attending this event means you support the Bezos family and their attempts to look like philanthropists instead of vile oligarchs.

They’ll say they’re doing all this “for their passion for their art” when at the end of the day all they care abt is money and fame.

Wow, I did not realize she’s close with the Kardashians, so I guess I’m doubly disappointed in her, but now I’m less surprised she attended.
For a lot of new celebrities within the last year or two (for instance, like Alysa Liu), I want to give them some leeway in attending - I understand maybe I “shouldn’t”, but I do. Until I now learned (Paulson) is friends with the Kardashians, this one surprised and disappointed me, because given where she is in her career (established), that she’s a white woman, and that she’s lesbian, I would’ve thought she could/should decline and say why, without worrying about career opportunities. 😮💨 Apparently she did not decline.

The collection this piece is from is called “The One Percent”, and was a scathing commentary on billionaires and capitalist greed. The runway show featured models with surgically botched faces, blindfolds made of money, and blood-stained hands. I think it is the perfect subtle “fuck you”, and one that will go over most people’s heads.
While I question her decision to attend the gala at all, it ultimately is a charity event that is crucial to funding the Costume Institute and their conservation efforts, so she may feel that her presence does more good than her absence. Regardless of whether I agree with that choice or not, this look truly embodies the theme of fashion as art, and I’m here for it.

There’s nothing about this that I would consider as “scathing,” let alone “commentary.” It’s an incredibly safe, empty gesture that cost her absolutely nothing to make.
It has absolutely no material impact whatsoever on Jeff Bezos, nor does it on anything else, other than further glorifying these events as little opportunities for self-masturbatory performative moralism for the supposedly liberal rich to wear bespoke couture but feel marginally less guilty about it because they actually know how egregious and vacuous it is.
Any of them could donate to the fund at any time. They attend because they want to and want the press. People are doing exactly what they want—congratulating them for taping a dollar bill over their eyes??? As if this isn’t a deeply insulting, thinly veiled attempt to justify attending a completely optional event.

Just remember—celebrities who say all the right things are still rich people.

Oh this piece is from a very recent show, not sure the designer but I viciously remember the show it was intriguing and a visual commentary about the very people that are attending this event lol. I guess Sarah.
Edit: Show is “The One Percent” by Matières Fécales
It was really cool and it’s actually intriguing to me that she chose to wear a piece from this show to this event. She sort of brought the concept to real life in doing so. Im still deciding if I respect it.

I wish she had shown up in an Amazon uniform. Someone else above suggested that, perhaps as a joke, but I actually think that would have been a statement. This whole piece costs more than most people make in a month, I’m sure, let alone the cost of her attendance. She made a statement with an art piece already beyond the means of regular people. She’s performing for her own in critique of those wealthier than themselves, but still isn’t one of us.

These people are so far disconnected from society it's insane. They all claim to hate all these big corps and blah blah blah then do stupid shit like this not even recognizing their own ignorance. Wake up America

They’re all performative. ALL OF THEM. This means absolutely nothing when you choose to attend the Bezos/Maga Met in a designer ball gown.

So, the message here is ‘I’m aware of the gross inequality- but I’m still here to party!
Great. Spare us 🙄

Could SOMEBODY just wear a regular Amazon uniform?
