The Met Gala is full of rich people. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore a dress with a message: “Tax the Rich.”

Accompanying Ocasio-Cortez was the gown’s Black, Ghanaian Canadian designer, Aurora James, founder and inventive director of Brother Veilles, a luxurious equipment model centered on maintaining conventional African design strategies alive, in addition to founding father of the 15 P.c Pledge, a nonprofit that reinforces Black manufacturers. Just like the congresswoman, she wore suffrage white. Vogue’s editor, Anna Wintour, usually pairs such visitors with designers who custom-design what they put on as a courtesy.
