Kamala Harris’ understated appearance at the Met Gala has sparked speculation about who paid for her $75,000 ticket.

The former Vice President was invited to last night’s glitzy event by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, a spokesman told CNN.

However, no detail was given about who picked up the tab for the evening.

Harris made an appearance with husband Doug Emhoff, sporting label Off-White for the occasion.

The outing set tongues wagging, with social media users wondering if the couple paid for their own tickets to the high profile event.

‘With a $20 million debt from her campaign, she can afford a $75,000 ticket for the Met Gala?? Well, we guess this just proves how budget minded DemUNIST really are,’ one person wrote on X.

‘I thought Kamala Harris was very worried about the poor and was sorry them, really she attended the met Gala last night, ticket prices started at $75,000 seem she was not that worried,’ another added.

While one person accused her of failing to ‘read the room’.

‘While regular folks are scraping by, she’s flaunting a dress that probably cost $75,000,’ the individual fumed. 

Harris stepped out on Monday in a sleek black and white, long sleeved gown featuring an asymmetrical cape and a flowing scarf. 

Her outfit was a nod to this year’s theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’, curated Monica L. Miller, whose book ‘Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity’ was the inspiration for the exhibition.

‘To me the true core of dandyism is rooted in confidence and strength,’ Off-White creative director IB Kamara told CNN.

‘There is no person who exemplifies these characteristics more than Kamala D. Harris, someone who has overcome adversity and continues to be a beacon for so many.’

Off-White is a luxury streetwear brand which was founded by the late Virgil Abloh,  a trailblazing black designer. Dresses from its off-the-rack section start at around $400.

DailyMail.com has contacted the brand to ask whether it paid for Harris’ ticket. 

Her husband wore a tuxedo designed by Brunello Cucinelli. 

The couple were spotted at the ritzy Polo Bar in New York City prior to last night’s event 

A heavy secret service presence flanked the couple as they dined out

Harris’ impromptu appearance didn’t come as a surprise to some, considering she and her husband were protected by a phalanx of two dozen Secret Service agents and cops as they dined at Polo Bar, one of New York’s priciest bars on Sunday night.

She emerged from the renowned celebrity hotspot with Emhoff about 9:30pm and stepped straight into a waiting bulletproof car outside.

The couple were happy to mingle with other diners, many of whom booked their tables a month in advance, and took photos with some of the diners.

Several Secret Service agents accompanied the couple as they dined for about two hours, with many more waiting outside to secure the entrance.

Harris is worth about $6 million and Emhoff $8 million, as of last year. 

The former Vice President is no stranger to the fashion world, having graced the cover of Vogue twice.

The first came in 2021 when she caused a stir by posing up in a casual outfit and converse sneakers.

Harris, 60, opted for a more formal look when she was a cover star last year and donned a chic chocolate brown Gabriela Hearst suit and Tiffany jewelry.

Harris was invited to the Met Gala by Anna Wintour, a spokesman confirmed 

The former VP has kept a relatively low profile since her election loss to Donald Trump in November.

However, she returned to the public political arena on Wednesday, delivering a critical speech berating the president, but also urging Democrats to find inspiration from elephants at the San Diego Zoo.

The failed presidential candidate took the stage at Emerge 20th anniversary gala at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco to deliver the keynote speech that began late in the evening.

‘It’s good to be home!’ Harris laughed as she took the stage.

Harris attacked Trump for leveling ‘reckless tariffs’ on foreign countries, accusing him of creating ‘the biggest manmade economic crisis in modern presidential history’ asserting that tariffs ‘hurt workers and families’ and raised costs for Americans.
