Ocasio-Cortez’s Campaign Spent Thousands On Celebrity Makeup Artist: Report
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign spent more than $2,000 on makeup and styling services from a celebrity agency, according to campaign finance records. The spending has drawn attention because the New York Democrat has previously spoken about doing her own makeup.
A review of Federal Election Commission filings showed the payments were made to The Only Agency, a styling agency based in New York and Los Angeles. The agency represents makeup artists and stylists who work with high-profile clients.
According to records reviewed by the New York Post, Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign reported multiple payments to the agency. The expenses were listed as services for campaign events.
The campaign reported paying the agency $670 on Nov. 5 for “campaign event makeup services.” Five days later, records show payments of $693.08 and $665 for “campaign event hair and makeup services.”
The Only Agency represents stylists whose clients include rapper Bad Bunny and model Bella Hadid. The agency provides hair, makeup, and creative styling services for entertainment and public appearances.
The agency’s listed starting prices are $600 for hair and $600 for makeup services. The company also maintains offices in London and Nashville.
One of the appearances where Ocasio-Cortez used the agency’s services was a rally in Queens last October. The event was a get-out-the-vote rally for mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
“An honor to glam AOC for the ‘New York is Not for Sale’ rally at Forest Hills Stadium,” makeup artist Jocelyn Biga wrote in an Instagram post. “An unforgettable moment watching her light up the stage with conviction, courage, and heart,” Biga said.
Photos posted alongside the message showed Ocasio-Cortez wearing a smoky eye and red lipstick. The post described the look as featuring carefully styled makeup and hair for the event.
The New York Post said it was unable to determine which other appearances involved the agency’s services. Campaign records did not provide detailed descriptions.
The newspaper also reviewed other campaign spending reports for comparison. Those records suggested many candidates typically spend between $100 and $200 on hair and makeup services.
The Post cited a salon in Queens’ Forest Hills neighborhood that charges $100 for event hair services and $150 for professional makeup. The comparison was included to show typical local prices for similar services.
Republican National Committee officials criticized the spending. They argued it conflicts with Ocasio-Cortez’s frequent rhetoric about wealth and inequality.
“AOC’s favorite slogan is ‘tax the rich,’ but her campaign spending shows she’d rather live like the 1%,” RNC press secretary Kiersten Pels said. “It’s the latest reminder that her class-warfare message is little more than political theater propped up by high-priced makeovers,” Pels said.
Ocasio-Cortez has previously faced scrutiny over high-profile fashion and appearance issues. In 2023, the House Ethics Committee reviewed her attendance at the 2021 Met Gala.
At the event, Ocasio-Cortez wore a dress displaying the phrase “Tax the Rich.” The appearance generated significant media attention at the time.
The House Ethics Committee later determined she had violated House gift rules. The committee said she improperly accepted about $3,700 in rented apparel and other items related to the event.
Ocasio-Cortez has previously spoken about beauty standards for women in public life. She addressed the issue in a video posted to Instagram in 2019.
“Women are expected to put 30 minutes to an hour into their appearance every day to look just as presentable as a man who puts in 10 minutes,” Ocasio-Cortez said. She said women often face a different standard in public roles.
In a separate beauty tutorial published by Vogue several years ago, she discussed the challenges of balancing appearance and credibility. The video included a demonstration of her signature red lipstick style.
“There’s this really false idea that if you care about makeup or if your interests are in beauty and fashion, that that’s somehow frivolous,” Ocasio-Cortez said. She said young women in politics are sometimes judged unfairly over their appearance.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
