OH, ISN’T THIS RICH!

Socialist AOC’s free bling, ticket to gala

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is getting into the celebrity gifting game — she got free jewelry to wear at the Met Gala with her “Tax the Rich” dress and was comped her $35,000 ticket.

The self-proclaimed socialist wore multiple jewelty pieces from Mejuri on Monday night, including 14-karat, solid-gold hoop earrings valued at $450.

A press release was sent out by Mejuri on Monday night, which read, “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore multiple pieces from the leading fine jewelry brand Mejuri to the 2021 Met Gala: In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion. Alexandria

wears the Large Tube Hoops and Dome Ring.“

AOC showed up at the bash with Aurora James, founder of fashion line Brother Vellies, who masterminded her gown, which declared in red letters, “Tax the Rich” — ironic, considering the cost of the tickets, which the Metropolitan Museum of Art gave the congresswoman gratis.

The Bronx-Queens Democrat, who earns $174,000 a year, said she wanted to “enjoy” herself while also making a statement.

When reached by The Post, a rep for Mejuri confirmed that AOC’s jewelry pieces were “samples,” items that are given to celebs and influencers to wear to promote a brand.

The Mejuri rep said, “The samples were sent to Aurora James,

Founder of Brother Vellies, who Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attended with.”

AOC claimed on social media that it was her “responsibility” to attend the gala.

She justified wearing the dress by New York-based James — whom she has hailed as a “sustainably focused, Black woman immigrant designer who went from starting her dream….at a flea market in Brooklyn to winning @cfda against all odds” — by saying they were there to “kick open the doors at the Met.”

“And before haters get wild flying off the handle, New York elected officials are routinely invited to and attend the Met due to our responsibilities in overseeing and supporting the city’s cultural institutions for the public,” she said on Instagram. “I was one of several in attendance in this evening.”

Mayor de Blasio also attended with his wife, Chirlane McCray.

AOC added that the dress was “borrowed” from Brother Vellies, even though it appeared to have been made specifically for her.

The conservative American Accountability Foundation is now asking the Office of Congressional Ethics to launch an investigation whether AOC broke House rules by accepting the “impermissible gift” of a free ticket to the gala.
