But AOC fans clapped back quickly. @Midsammar replied, “I don’t know who needs to hear this but Vanity Fair doesn’t let you keep the clothes from your photo shoot and Mark Hamill doesn’t get to keep the lightsabers”.
And from @lifesafeast, “Do you know how things like magazine photo shoots work? You think she owns these clothes? On the other hand, she worked her way through college, ran for office on an admirable platform, got elected, and is now an incredibly influential progressive & a strong voice in Congress.” The white suit she’s wearing on the magazine cover is an homage to the women’s suffrage movement. According to The Independent, “In 1908, Votes for Women editor Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence introduced the movement’s official colour scheme which included white to represent purity, green for hope and purple for loyalty and dignity.” It’s not the first time she’s rocked a similar look. The politician wore a white cape suit to her swearing-in ceremony and the 2019 State of the Union, 100 years after the 19th amendment which gave women the right to vote.

The controversy continued, as so many controversies tend to do these days, on Twitter. One tweet from political commentator Sunanda Vashisht called out AOC’s outfit as an example of hypocrisy. “AOC on the cover of Vanity Fair. The clothes are estimated to cost $14,000. So happy that AOC is upholding the long established hypocritical tradition of Socialists who believe Socialism is for poor while they enjoy the fruits of Capitalism.”
