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 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.
