On Monday, New York City's biggest fashion night event, the Met Gala, was marred by news of the Supreme Court's unprecedented plans to overturn the landmark decision established in Roe v. Wade. The draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito first made rounds inside the court before being publicly leaked by Politico.
It was a reminder of the already grim time we are all living through, and this was further reflected during the commencement of the Gala's exhibition, when First Lady Dr. Jill Biden addressed members of the press and called for supporting Ukrainian refugees amid Russia's military invasion. The First Lady acknowledged that in her position, whate she wears is almost always scrutinized, and therefore she was cognizant of having to make a statement though fashion.
