STORYIshani Sarkar
Nicknamed ‘hot girl for Zohran’ for her support of the New York mayor, she has called out Pete Hegseth’s wife and Erika Kirk for their fashion choices
Ella Devi is not your run-of-the-mill fashion influencer. The 18-year-old has been dominating social media algorithms with her hot takes involving fashion and politics. She recently went viral for seemingly exposing the White House Correspondents’ Dinner attendees for their questionable attire.
According to her research, Erika Kirk was wearing a gown straight off the clearance rack at Saks Fifth Avenue, while Pete Hegseth’s wife Jennifer Rauchet was dressed in a Temu number, although the New York Post revealed it was actually from Shein. The Daily Mail called Devi a “Lefty ‘Cheap’ Shot”, to which she responded with an X post, writing, “In America, if you make fun of Pete Hegseth’s wife for wearing a US$14 Temu dress to a White House dinner, they initiate a smear campaign against you in the right-wing press.”
