Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s appearance at the 2021 Met Gala ended up being more expensive for her than she might’ve thought.
The House Ethics Committee on Friday closed its yearslong probe into the New York congresswoman and whether she accepted improper gifts in connection with her attendance at the high-profile event, where she wore a white dress emblazoned with the phrase “Tax the Rich.”
In a 31-page report, the panel said that Ocasio-Cortez had “impermissibly accepted gifts” and said that in order for the matter to be closed, she would need to pay nearly $3,000 in personal funds.
That includes $250 to cover the attendance of her fiancé, Riley Roberts, and an additional $2,733.28 payment to Brother?Vellies, the business that designed her dress.
