Sarah Paulson made a bold fashion statement at the Met Gala by wearing a dollar bill over her eyes to protest the “One Percent.”
The
irony wasn’t lost on many — Paulson is reportedly worth around $12
million, and the Met Gala tickets cost upwards of $100,000 per person.
The
actress used her outfit to call out the world’s elite while literally
rubbing shoulders with them at one of the most exclusive and expensive
events on the planet.
This kind of performative activism from
Hollywood celebrities continues to draw eye rolls from the public, who
see it as wealthy elites pretending to be revolutionaries while living
in extreme luxury.
