“Tax the Rich,” read the gown Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore to the 2021 Met Gala. But it’s the progressive New York Democrat that must pony up, the House Ethics Committee announced Friday. According to the bipartisan committee, Ocasio-Cortez didn’t pay fair market rate to borrow the dress, a violation of House rules.

The House Ethics Committee is telling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to make additional payments for her attendance at the 2021 Met Fashion Gala, where she drew attention for wearing a dress adorned with the message “tax the rich.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez paid less than she should have for clothes she wore to the 2021 Met Gala and shouldn't have accepted a free ticket for her then-partner, Riley Roberts, according to a report issued July 25 by the House Ethics Committee.
