House Ethics Committee found Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez failed to pay full market value for items at the 2021 MET Gala, where she wore the Tax the Rich dress, requiring additional payments.

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.

The House Ethics Committee found that Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “impermissibly accepted gifts” in connection with her 2021 appearance at the Met Gala, violating a House rule.
