Rep. Alexandria-Cortez may have worn a dress emblazoned “Tax the Rich” to Monday’s Met Gala, but she was also wearing earrings reputedly valued at $450 and shoes reportedly valued at roughly $614.

The “Tax the Rich” dress designed by Aurora James was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, the Daily Mail noted, adding that the 14-karat designer Mejuri jewelry gold hoop earrings were listed as worth $450 and the open-toed red shoes from James’ Brother Vellies fashion line were valued at roughly $614. Ocasio-Cortez also carried a James purse that also featured the “Tax the Rich” mantra.
