NEW YORK — New York Mayor Eric Adams didn’t miss out on making a bold fashion statement at the invitation-only Met Gala event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday night.
Adams’ long black tuxedo coat was adorned with Afrocentric motifs and Metropolitan Transportation Authority symbols on its lapels and forearms. The back center panel of the coat had the words “END GUN VIOLENCE” in red lettering.
Clearly sending a strong message, Adams’ fashion choice is reminiscent to when U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore an Aurora James-designed gown that read “TAX THE RICH” in 2021.
