New York City Mayor Eric Adams channeled AOC at this year’s Met Gala in a tuxedo jacket that read “End Gun Violence.”
The jacket featured architectural icons like the Brooklyn Bridge and Chrysler building along with the yellow circle of the N subway line and the MTA logo — as well as a large handgun with a red slash through it. It was designed by Laolu Senbanjo, a Nigerian lawyer-turned-artist now based in Brooklyn.
