Fashion sometimes carries a louder unspoken message. From Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Tax The Rich” dress at the 2021 Met Gala, to Rep. Lauren Boebert’s “Let’s Go Brandon” dress at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, just what are these women trying to say?

Fashion sometimes carries a louder unspoken message. From Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) “Tax The Rich” dress at the 2021 Met Gala, to Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) “Let’s Go Brandon” dress at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, just what are these women trying to say?
Ocasio-Cortez supports taxing the rich as a matter of policy—to help pay for an expanded social safety net in America. Per AOC, “The time is now for childcare, healthcare, and climate action for all. Tax the Rich.” As Congress debates sweeping reforms through the Build Back Better bill, she took the opportunity to advocate without speaking a word.
According to Boebert about her own dress, “It’s not a phrase, it’s a movement!” But a movement for what? “Let’s Go Brandon” is a euphemism for “F*** Joe Biden.” How does that help anyone other than bumper sticker and button salespeople?.
