Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney calls attention to the #ERA at The 2021 Met Gala

Women’s Forum member and Congresswoman of New York’s 12th district, Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, has long used fashion as a force for change, and for this year’s #METGALA Rep. Maloney wanted to bring attention to certification of the #ERA. During a time when women’s rights are under attack all over the world, we couldn’t think of a more perfect statement piece! The gala was in celebration of the Costume Institute’s newest exhibition, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” and Rep. Maloney wore a gown in suffragist colors complete with a cape embroidered with the phrase “Equal Rights for Women” and white ‘ERA’ letters down the front of the dress.
