She\u00a0wrote, \u201cIf you\u2019re married to the \u2018America first\u2019 guy (idiot), you should probably only wear American designers and not anything imported from China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The critique fits with Ella\u2019s broader online persona. The self-described \u201csocialist socialite\u201d is known for mixing political commentary with high-fashion content.<\/p>\n<p>She first gained traction after publicly supporting NYC mayor\u00a0Zohran Mamdani, earning the internet nickname \u201chot girl for Zohran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her TikTok presence leans heavily into luxury aesthetics, which include vintage Miu Miu, Chanel, and Tom Ford pieces paired with sharp opinions on politics and culture.<\/p>\n<p>That combination hasn\u2019t landed cleanly with everyone who is criticizing her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor being a socialist, you are a money snub. If someone chooses not to spend lots of money on clothing is that not what you would want? Socialism is about having less so others can have more. You must want to be on the have more end of the deal, by stealing from the others,\u201d one person\u00a0wrote.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It seems the opinion really ignited a massive debate online.
