In Rama Duwaji’s New York, Everyone Is Entitled to a Little Glamour

Duwaji’s fashion choices highlight diverse designers, reflecting the couple’s progressive image and political change, with key pieces by London and New York-based creators.

  • On January 1, Zohran Mamdani was sworn in at midnight in an abandoned subway station near City Hall, with Rama Duwaji, New York City’s First Lady and 28-year-old illustrator, by his side.
  • Their win and profiles drew media focus because of their youth and backgrounds; Rama Duwaji and Zohran Mamdani’s ages and progressive platform sparked both celebration and Islamophobic dismay.
  • Duwaji’s election-night ensemble combined a Zeid Hijazi top with an Ulla Johnson skirt, styled by Bailey Moon and Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, including vintage Balenciaga, The Frankie Shop culottes, Miista boots, and loaned gold chandelier earrings.
  • Today’s public inauguration will include appearances by Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, with a poem by Cornelius Eady, poet, and a block party around City Hall, New York City.
  • Observers note Rama Duwaji’s choices map onto how many young urban New Yorkers dress, with her mostly-black, gallery-ready looks positioning a new political aesthetic distinct from traditional first-lady fashion.
