[Yohji]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez[a] (/oʊˌkɑːsioʊ kɔːrˈtɛz/; Spanish: [oˈkasjo koɾˈtes]; born October 13, 1989), also known by her initials AOC, is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for New York's 14th congressional district. The district includes the eastern part of the Bronx, portions of north-central Queens, and Rikers Island in New York City. She is a member of the Democratic Party.

Ocasio-Cortez drew national recognition when she won the Democratic Party's primary election for New York's 14th congressional district on June 26, 2018. She defeated Democratic Caucus Chair Joe Crowley, a 10-term incumbent, in what was widely seen as the biggest upset victory in the 2018 midterm election primaries. She defeated Republican opponent Anthony Pappas in the November 6, 2018 general election.

Taking office at age 29, Ocasio-Cortez is the youngest woman ever to serve in the United States Congress. She has been noted for her substantial social media presence relative to her fellow members of Congress. Ocasio-Cortez attended Boston University, where she double-majored in international relations and economics, graduating cum laude. She was previously an activist and worked as a waitress and bartender before running for Congress in 2018. Ocasio-Cortez is among the first female members of the Democratic Socialists of America elected to serve in Congress. She advocates a progressive platform that includes Medicare for All, a federal jobs guarantee, the Green New Deal and abolishing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Nine Power Looks Inspired by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Victoria, Victoria Beckham Blazer, J. Crew Tank, and Mejuri Necklace
In July, Ocasio-Cortez was as bold as the red blazer she wore when she spoke out against the sexist comments Ted Yoho made about her on the Capitol steps. Afterward her colleague Ayanna Pressley told her, “You know how I know you showed up to do business? Because you matched your lip with your suit.”

Banana Republic Blazer, AG Jeans, Dorothee Schumacher Tank, Telfar Shopping Bag, and AP Bands Face Mask
Ocasio-Cortez supported Black LGBTQ+ designer Telfar Clemens when she carried the highly sought-after Telfar bag to the Capitol in August.

Rag & Bone Blazer and Jennifer Fisher Earrings
On the day Ocasio-Cortez was sworn into office in 2019, she wore a classic white ensemble with her staple gold hoop earrings.

Helene Berman Jacket and Tiffany & Co. Earrings
Combine a pearl earring with a tweed jacket for a professional look like Ocasio-Cortez wears here.

Everlane Shirt, Theory Skirt, and Stuart Weitzman Pump
At SXSW in 2019, she opted for a straightforward business casual look—a great white blouse, brown pencil skirt, and low heel.

Theory Blazer and Pants, Mansur Gavriel Flats, and Warby Parker Glasses
While unveiling her Green New Deal resolution in early 2019, Ocasio-Cortez wore a suit in symbolic hunter green. If green is the new color of change, we could all use a little more green in our life, and this Theory suit will do the trick.

Kobi Halperin Blazer, National Archives Pin, and Jennifer Fisher Earrings
Ocasio-Cortez wore all white to the State of the Union in 2019 in honor of women’s suffragists, adding a chic cape-jacket to complete the look.

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Dress
Ocasio-Cortez couldn’t be missed in her sapphire dress as she called for the impeachment of Justice Brett Kavanaugh during a speech.

Rebecca Taylor Jacket and Skirt and Phlemuns Mask
“Times have been intense lately. I’ve been cheering myself up by wearing colors that make me happy,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Instagram recently. Get your own AOC-inspired pink suit set, and complete the look with a pink Phlemuns mask for style and safety.
