A self-described “socialist socialite” who boasts about dressing in fur and lux designers is being blasted after she ridiculed Pete Hegseth’s wife for apparently wearing a budget-friendly gown to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Ella Devi, 18, was trolled online after she pointed out the Secretary of War’s spouse, Jennifer Hegseth, opted for a dusty pink dress that bore a striking resemblance to one found on the Chinese bargain site Temu for Saturday night’s gala.
“Pete hegeseth’s wife wore a dress from temu to the white house correspondents dinner (i’m not joking),” the wannabe fashion influencer snarked on X alongside a screenshot showing a similar-looking Temu dress retailing for less than $20.
But her low blow attempts to ridicule the mom’s apparent cost-effective fashion choice fell flat.
“She looks amazing. I thought the left was about ‘eating the rich’? Now you want to dunk on someone who didn’t waste $10,000 on a dress they will only ever wear once?” right-wing firebrand Laura Loomer raged.
One critic even sniped that anti-cop rhetoric often spewed by the radical left apparently now included the “fashion police.”
“Hegseth is a piece of s–t but ACAB [All Cops Are Bastards] includes fashion police,” one person posted on X.
“A socialist is attempting to mock someone for not spending $10,000 on a one time use dress? Say it isn’t so,” another griped.
Others, meanwhile, zeroed in on Devi’s apparent hypocrisy — noting that the teen regularly brags on social media about her own designer threads, including Chanel bags, Burberry and Givenchy.
“This woman is a self-described ‘socialist.’ She spends her time mocking the fact that conservative women don’t spend more money on clothing,” one wrote on X.
“A socialist who fashion shames fellow women? Where to even start with a person this broken on the inside,” another said. “Perhaps public shame is a start. Shame on you, you classless, hypocritical succubus.”
Other supporters weighed in with their own bargain buys s a sign of support.
“My perfume is from Amazon and $5 and I get constant compliments. I have also worn dresses from Amazon to galas. Wear what you like, whether or not what snobs like it,” Shoshana Weissmann wrote.
It wasn’t immediately clear where Hegseth’s dress came from.
