href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ellad3vi\/\"><span>Ella Devi<\/span><\/a><span> is either an 18-year-old fashion intern from New York City, or the MAGA Right\u2019s worst nightmare. Devi first gained prominence last year as a \u2018hot girl for Zohran\u2019, one of the supporters of the then-candidate for NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani \u2013 despite never actually referring to herself as such. Though Devi did campaign for Mandani, the moniker was bestowed on her by the right-wing daily <\/span><em><span>New York Post<\/span><\/em><span>, which derided her for, of all things, not recognising the actor Wallace Shawn on a campaign trail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>More recently, however, Devi has attracted more ire from the <\/span><em><span>Post<\/span><\/em><span> with her fashion analysis of this year\u2019s White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner. In posts to TikTok and X, Devi revealed, after a little digging, that Erika Kirk\u2019s gown was procured from the clearance rack at Saks Fifth Avenue, while Pete Hegseth\u2019s wife Jennifer Rauchet bought her dress from Temu. In the days following, the <\/span><em><span>Post<\/span><\/em><span> laid into her yet again, while the <\/span><em><span>Daily Mail<\/span><\/em><span> wrote its own online article <\/span><em><span>and <\/span><\/em><span>ran a full page on her in its print edition, referring to the 18-year-old as a \u201cLefty \u2018Cheap\u2019 Shot\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey keep trying to character assassinate me, but it\u2019s not working \u2013 they\u2019re making me sound cool,\u201d says Devi, discussing the reaction to her content. As a creator on TikTok, Devi\u2019s posts often concern the intersection of fashion and politics, and amass hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of views. There are videos about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ellad3vi\/video\/7610909641060502814\"><span>Elena Velez\u2019s history as a \u201cfar right bigot\u201d<\/span><\/a><span>, the role of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ellad3vi\/video\/7612008533088849183\"><span>looksmaxxing at Demna\u2019s Gucci debut<\/span><\/a><span>, an explanation of why <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ellad3vi\/video\/7615050040947543327\"><span>you can\u2019t be a Republican and dress like Carolyn Bessette Kennedy<\/span><\/a><span>, plus a post that simply reads <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ellad3vi\/video\/7593408564002163999\"><span>\u201cAbolishing ICE is the moderate position\u201d<\/span><\/a><span>. Mixed in with this is the more regular content you\u2019d expect to see, showing her life as a fashion intern in NYC (the fact that Devi declined to reveal the exact brand she works for speaks volumes to the harassment she\u2019s received from conservatives).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Though Devi clearly has a lot of people who love what she does online, there\u2019s always going to be detractors \u2013 especially when you\u2019re a young Brown woman. Her self-styling as a \u2018socialist socialite\u2019, for example, has been relentlessly picked up on, even though it\u2019s a joke she made when she was 15. And while some believe you can\u2019t profess left-wing politics while also posting content in vintage Chanel, Devi thinks otherwise. \u201cFashion and politics are the two things I\u2019m always thinking about,\u201d she says. \u201cAt this point, I should tattoo \u2018fashion is political\u2019 on my forehead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Below, we chat to Devi about her political fashion content, pissing off Trump\u2019s America, and how she really feels about becoming a bogeyman for the right-wing press.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Hey Ella!

I\u2019ve recently been posting quite a bit online about the intersection of fashion and politics, which conservative America is not exactly thrilled by.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>On that, your recent posts analysing the fashion at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner got a lot of pushback, especially the ones about Erika Kirk\u2019s Saks clearance dress, and Pete Hegseth\u2019s wife buying her dress from Temu. What is it about this style of commentary that riles people up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella Devi:<\/strong><span> It\u2019s hard for people to comprehend that right-wing women have bad taste because they have less proximity to people with good taste. That idea appears frequently in my content. I will say that it\u2019s easier for people to understand this concept with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/beauty\/article\/69725\/1\/nicki-minaj-get-maga-inspired-makeover-republican-politics-ugly\"><span>the example of MAGA makeup<\/span><\/a><span>.

But seriously, the right wing has been making every effort to rebrand themselves as fashionable. Just look at the Bezos Met Gala! We have to correct the narrative here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>So why the mix of fashion and political content?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella Devi:<\/strong><span> Fashion and politics are the two things I\u2019m always thinking about. That is not ideal for me. People who follow left-wing politics are not having a great time right now, and people who work in fashion are admittedly never having a great time. Now combine the two. Thank god for therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>And your self-styling as a \u2018socialist socialite\u2019 has also got a lot of attention too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella Devi: <\/strong><span>It\u2019s been my Twitter bio since I was 15. Truly, it is something only a 15-year-old could think of. I didn\u2019t realise it would be so blown out of proportion!

You study fashion to study human behaviour. It\u2019s quite annoying to me when people suggest you dress yourself in a vacuum separate from our political climate. Everything you wear acts as a form of social signalling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your background in fashion? How did you get into the industry in the first place?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella Devi:<\/strong><span> So I\u2019m an English &amp; Philosophy student at Parsons, and I\u2019ve been working in fashion since I was 14. My very first job in fashion was for this small brand owned by a friend of a friend. It\u2019s now defunct \u2013 it\u2019s so hard for small brands to survive in this economic climate! \u2013 but while I was there, we got talent placements like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/addison-rae\"><span>Addison Rae<\/span><\/a><span> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/sza\"><span>SZA<\/span><\/a><span>.

And why is having one so important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella Devi:<\/strong><span> My fashion network is Twitter! I\u2019ve met some amazing women through Twitter and some of them have been working in fashion since I was a middle schooler. I get so much guidance from them. This industry is rough for young women, and it\u2019s nice to have some industry elders in your corner. I don\u2019t think they\u2019ll love that I called them that \u2013 they\u2019re in their 20s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Who are your fashion icons?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella Devi:<\/strong><span> Joan Didion, for sure.

I wear a ton of vintage <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/marc-jacobs\"><span>Marc Jacobs<\/span><\/a><span> and I love old Red Valentino lookbooks. I take a lot of inspiration from [<\/span><em><span>Gossip Girl<\/span><\/em><span>\u2019s] Blair Waldorf. Her outfits are absolutely ridiculous! I\u2019ve loved her style since I was 12.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally, where do you see yourself in five years?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella Devi:<\/strong><span> Given that I undergo a right wing smear campaign every six months, in five years I\u2019ll probably have ten more smear campaigns under my belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!

Devi first gained prominence last year as a \u2018hot girl for Zohran\u2019, one of the supporters of the then-candidate for NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani \u2013 despite never actually referring to herself as such. Though Devi did campaign for Mandani, the moniker was bestowed on her by the right-wing daily <\/span><em><span>New York Post<\/span><\/em><span>, which derided her for, of all things, not recognising the actor Wallace Shawn on a campaign trail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>More recently, however, Devi has attracted more ire from the <\/span><em><span>Post<\/span><\/em><span> with her fashion analysis of this year\u2019s White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner. In posts to TikTok and X, Devi revealed, after a little digging, that Erika Kirk\u2019s gown was procured from the clearance rack at Saks Fifth Avenue, while Pete Hegseth\u2019s wife Jennifer Rauchet bought her dress from Temu. In the days following, the <\/span><em><span>Post<\/span><\/em><span> laid into her yet again, while the <\/span><em><span>Daily Mail<\/span><\/em><span> wrote its own online article <\/span><em><span>and <\/span><\/em><span>ran a full page on her in its print edition, referring to the 18-year-old as a \u201cLefty \u2018Cheap\u2019 Shot\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey keep trying to character assassinate me, but it\u2019s not working \u2013 they\u2019re making me sound cool,\u201d says Devi, discussing the reaction to her content. As a creator on TikTok, Devi\u2019s posts often concern the intersection of fashion and politics, and amass hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of views. There are videos about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ellad3vi\/video\/7610909641060502814\"><span>Elena Velez\u2019s history as a \u201cfar right bigot\u201d<\/span><\/a><span>, the role of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ellad3vi\/video\/7612008533088849183\"><span>looksmaxxing at Demna\u2019s Gucci debut<\/span><\/a><span>, an explanation of why <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ellad3vi\/video\/7615050040947543327\"><span>you can\u2019t be a Republican and dress like Carolyn Bessette Kennedy<\/span><\/a><span>, plus a post that simply reads <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ellad3vi\/video\/7593408564002163999\"><span>\u201cAbolishing ICE is the moderate position\u201d<\/span><\/a><span>. Mixed in with this is the more regular content you\u2019d expect to see, showing her life as a fashion intern in NYC (the fact that Devi declined to reveal the exact brand she works for speaks volumes to the harassment she\u2019s received from conservatives).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Though Devi clearly has a lot of people who love what she does online, there\u2019s always going to be detractors \u2013 especially when you\u2019re a young Brown woman. Her self-styling as a \u2018socialist socialite\u2019, for example, has been relentlessly picked up on, even though it\u2019s a joke she made when she was 15. And while some believe you can\u2019t profess left-wing politics while also posting content in vintage Chanel, Devi thinks otherwise. \u201cFashion and politics are the two things I\u2019m always thinking about,\u201d she says. \u201cAt this point, I should tattoo \u2018fashion is political\u2019 on my forehead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Below, we chat to Devi about her political fashion content, pissing off Trump\u2019s America, and how she really feels about becoming a bogeyman for the right-wing press.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Hey Ella!

What is it about this style of commentary that riles people up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella Devi:<\/strong><span> It\u2019s hard for people to comprehend that right-wing women have bad taste because they have less proximity to people with good taste. That idea appears frequently in my content.

You study fashion to study human behaviour. It\u2019s quite annoying to me when people suggest you dress yourself in a vacuum separate from our political climate. Everything you wear acts as a form of social signalling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your background in fashion? How did you get into the industry in the first place?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella Devi:<\/strong><span> So I\u2019m an English &amp; Philosophy student at Parsons, and I\u2019ve been working in fashion since I was 14. My very first job in fashion was for this small brand owned by a friend of a friend. It\u2019s now defunct \u2013 it\u2019s so hard for small brands to survive in this economic climate! \u2013 but while I was there, we got talent placements like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/addison-rae\"><span>Addison Rae<\/span><\/a><span> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/sza\"><span>SZA<\/span><\/a><span>.

I\u2019ve met some amazing women through Twitter and some of them have been working in fashion since I was a middle schooler. I get so much guidance from them. This industry is rough for young women, and it\u2019s nice to have some industry elders in your corner. I don\u2019t think they\u2019ll love that I called them that \u2013 they\u2019re in their 20s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Who are your fashion icons?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella Devi:<\/strong><span> Joan Didion, for sure.

I wear a ton of vintage <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/marc-jacobs\"><span>Marc Jacobs<\/span><\/a><span> and I love old Red Valentino lookbooks. I take a lot of inspiration from [<\/span><em><span>Gossip Girl<\/span><\/em><span>\u2019s] Blair Waldorf. Her outfits are absolutely ridiculous!
