This Met Gala look landed AOC within the dog house — so it’s only fitting that a plucky pooch pays homage to it at an upcoming pet gala.
Two-year-old Edna the Runt will strut her stuff in a mini version of the socialist pol’s “Tax the Wealthy” dress throughout the upcoming Griff Gala — a black-tie ‘paw’-ty exclusively for Brussels Griffons.
“Edna’s very enthusiastic about progressive fiscal policy, but additionally it was the best one which I assumed was really identifiable and clear who it was,” owner Gabriella Zutrau told The Post ahead of the four-legged fashion show, which shall be held May 7 at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island.
Zutrau, a model and political consultant who lives in Bushwick, created Edna’s look by ordering a dress made for kittens — her fur baby is just 4-and-a-half kilos — then hand-stenciling the message that Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez had emblazoned on the back of her custom Aurora James gown.
Loads of A-listers shall be getting the K-9 treatment.
“There may be going to be a Beyonce look … the massive yellow Rihanna dress,” noted gala organizer Laura Burkart.
This 12 months, around 70 Brussels are on the guest list, with some flying in from so far as Toronto, Los Angeles, and Texas.
The coutured canines, a lot of them dog influencers on TikTok and Instagram, shall be gifted with a swag bag that features a custom dog tag in the form of Anna Wintour.
Burkart hired skilled dog costumer Lynne Correi, who designed outfits for a dozen other gala attendees, to craft an ensemble for her 6-year-old Brussels named Hendrik.
It’ll mimic the one Jared Leto donned in 2019 when he wore a scarlet Gucci garment — and carried what seemed to be his own head as an adjunct.
“I wanted something totally excessive,” she said. “After which I discovered this amazing woman who recreated a duplicate of his head.”
There’ll even be a canine couple, Cowboy and Twixie, who got married last 12 months, dressing as Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott from their 2019 Met Gala appearance.
“They sometimes win Best Couple on the costume events,” Burkart said.
Tickets cost $100, which incorporates the owner and dog, and there may be a charitable raffle, whose proceeds shall be donated to the nonprofit National Brussels Griffon Rescue.
The show has roots in a now-defunct Meetup.com group that became an organization called NYC Griffs, where Burkart is the highest dog.
She’s been planning social events for five years for the “relatively rare” toy breed.
The event wouldn’t be complete without its own red carpet — and Burkart is hopeful there won’t be any accidents on it.
“That’s at all times a hazard,” she said. “But most of them are pretty much trained.”
