Although Ocasio-Cortez is reported to have been \u201ccompted\u201d a ticket to the event by the Metropolitan Museum of Art itself, tickets typically range from $35,000 to $250,000, and attendees, per economics commentator Megan McArdle, often use their ticket purchase as a sort-of \u201ctax shelter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, even those who purchase or receive free tickets must have their attendance approved by \u201cVogue\u201d legend Anna Wintour, who hand-picks the crowd at the Met\u2019s annual fete.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez also may have gone as a guest of the Met, but she attended alongside the designer of her dress, Aurora James, whose boyfriend is the heir to the Seagram\u2019s family fortune \u2014 an estimated $2.5 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter users, of course, immediately set about mocking the social media platform\u2019s decision to fact-check Portnoy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndependent Fact Checkers at Snope (sic) state that the party is \u2018actually not the most extravagant over the top party of the year\u2019 per data compiled by party experts,\u201d one user joked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe missing context is that they detected you didn\u2019t agree with her,\u201d noted another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is disturbing,\u201d added another. \u201cThat Twitter so overtly trips over itself to ensure supposedly balanced takes of certain political darlings but allows outrageous misinformation from others so long as they are aligned with a specific narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez faced a wave of criticism for her decision to attend the Met Gala \u2014 a decision she defended by claiming that she was there representing the \u201cworking class.\u201d She later branded criticism of her Met Gala dress \u201csexist\u201d and suggested it was propagated by \u201chaters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd 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\u2019s cultural institutions for the public,\u201d the representative wrote on Twitter. \u201cI was one of several in attendance in this evening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her gown was custom made (though AOC noted later that it was \u201cborrowed\u201d from designer James.
