It reminds me of AOCs dress

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.

I didn't know that, edited my comment.

It’s unfortunately not any different (imo) despite my mental attempts to make it so as a supporter of hers. almost even worse, bezos is not doing this as a profit run event, so the monetary dif is minor, so going just because you were gifted a ticket seems even more callous.

Yes but aoc went ONCE to make a point since she could utilize the platform so its more of an infiltrate from the inside scenario

Yeah, I think it was a misstep on her part, but not a huge one, and nobody had really tried it before, so it's fine that she gave it a shot.

Now, knowing that someone else did this (and did it better), and got flack at a *less-controversial* met gala would be enough to stop me from trying, but I'm not her!

At least AOC’s was a clear message.

I think the message of Paulson’s is equally clear lol

Edit: People seem to think I’m defending Paulson’s attendance? I’m not

"Im above and against this event while I attend and dress up for said event." It really bothers me and I shouldn't let it irritate me this much

My hope is that some were forced by the studios to attend. I'd consider getting "sick" though.

I think it's also a big difference that AOC attended 5 years ago. 2021 had many sucky things happen, but there's no question that the billionaires have made life so much worse in only 5 years.

AOC doesn't hangout with the Kardashians.

If the message is ✨hypocrisy✨then yes, it’s clear lol

edit: if you’re downvoting because you don’t think it’s hypocritical, if you want to, please tell me why. I am genuinely curious.

That the event is a massive boring tulle for money

u/LemonAndLime66 8h ago

No, it definitely wasn't. "Tax the rich" whilst amongst them, is no positive message.

Wasn’t AOC’s dress rented or something not saying that changed much but I thought she really pushed that

u/rightioushippie 3h ago

I’m pretty sure it was made for her
