Sarah Paulson<\/a> covered her eyes with cash at the 2026 Met Gala \u2014 but many online critics say they see right through the message.<\/p>\n

The Emmy-winning actress hit the carpet Monday wearing a dollar bill stretched across her eyes, a blunt visual swipe at the “one percent.”<\/p>\n

Paulson opted for a dramatic, cloud-like gray tulle ball gown with an oversized sculptural bow at the shoulders. Paired with white opera gloves, a diamond choker necklace and a dollar-bill blindfold, the look appeared to display equal parts classic elegance and performance art.<\/p>\n

The designer, Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales, dubbed the design “The One Percent,” and the mask is called “Blinded by Money.” Mati\u00e8res F\u00e9cales wrote on Instagram<\/a> that “The collection was a reflection of the greed and corruption that comes with extreme power.”<\/p>\n

Her bold fashion statement appeared to spark immediate backlash at one of the most exclusive, high-dollar events in the world.<\/p>\n

The Met Gala \u2014 often dubbed “fashion\u2019s biggest night out” \u2014 carries a price tag of up to $100,000 per ticket, placing it firmly among the most elite social events of the year. Paulson herself reportedly holds a net worth of $12 million. For many observers, the juxtaposition of wealth and protest felt contradictory.<\/p>\n

“This is the worst one at the Met Gala,” one commenter wrote on X. “Sarah Paulson\u2019s dollar bill mask is some sort of protest against the 1% of which she is a part. If you want to protest the rich, don\u2019t go to an event that costs $100k per ticket \u2014 and give your $12 million net worth away.”<\/p>\n

Others echoed the sentiment, calling the gesture “hypocrisy” and “virtue signaling.”<\/p>\n

“The idea is cool but the hypocrisy is unbearable,” another user posted. “She is a millionaire elite. Her hypocrisy is out of bounds.”<\/p>\n

Comparisons were also drawn to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>, who made headlines in 2021 for wearing a white gown designed with the phrase “Tax the Rich” to the Met Gala at the time. That moment, too, sparked a divided response, with critics labeling it “out of touch” given the gala\u2019s steep ticket prices.<\/p>\n

However, not everyone was critical of Paulson\u2019s fashion ensemble. Some social media users pushed back on the backlash itself, arguing that the definition of the “one percent” is often misunderstood.<\/p>\n

“She is most definitely not part of the 1%,” one commenter noted. “Thinking that just shows how completely ignorant most people are as to what being in the 1% actually means.”<\/p>\n

Others pointed out that the Met Gala serves as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s Costume Institute, suggesting that the high ticket price functions as a charitable donation<\/a> rather than mere extravagance.<\/p>\n

Still, skepticism remained among critics.<\/p>\n

“Everyone in Hollywood is blinded by money,” another critic wrote. “She may think it\u2019s about corporations or a political message, but it\u2019s actually about power and money.”<\/p>\n

Held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s Costume Institute, the invite-only gala is equal parts spectacle and fundraiser, drawing Hollywood\u2019s biggest names under one roof. This year, the event didn\u2019t just bring in A-listers \u2014 it brought in record money, reportedly raising $42 million, according to Town & Country.<\/p>\n

That staggering figure comes with a hefty price of entry. Individual tickets reportedly cost $100,000, with the night largely funded by billionaire power couple Jeff Bezos<\/a> and Lauren Sanchez-Bezos.<\/p>\n

Inside, the theme was “Costume Art,” paired with the dress code “Fashion Is Art” \u2014 a prompt that encourages bold interpretation.<\/p>\n

Anna Wintour famously hosts<\/a> the event annually, but other co-chairs this year included Beyonc\u00e9, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
