Ocasio-Cortez Seen Wearing Muslim Garb At Event With Mamdani

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared alongside New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during an Eid al-Adha celebration held at Macombs Dam Park in the Bronx on May 27, 2026.

Ocasio-Cortez wore a red patterned hijab while addressing attendees at the event, which drew members of the city’s Muslim community for one of Islam’s most significant religious observances.

Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim mayor, also participated in the celebration, wearing a kurta that incorporated design elements resembling an Arsenal soccer jersey, a nod to both his cultural background and support for the English football club.
