Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji appears to wear luxury $630 boots to swearing in ceremony

Their “affordability” agenda got off on the wrong foot.

New York City’s first lady Rama Duwaji appeared to wear $630 “artisan” leather boots from a high-end designer to her Democratic Socialist husband  Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral swearing in ceremony — a luxury look that flew in the face of the politician’s “everyman” image, eagle-eyed critics said Thursday.

Duwaji, a 28-year-old artist, gave more socialite than socialist on New Year’s Day as she apparently rocked one of the fashion house Miista’s pricy boot designs — one which is said to be crafted from “vegetable tan cow leather” and feature an “ultra-cushioned memory foam insole.”

The fashion firm charges $630 a pop for the so-called “Shelley Boots,” which feature a six-centimeter heel and a lace-up back.

But her high-end fashion statement — which came as she stood next to Mamdami while he took the oath of office just after midnight — is out-of-touch, considering Hizzoner’s equity-for all policies that include tax hikes on the rich along with his man-of-the-people air, some observers slammed.

“Mamdani’s ‘affordability agenda’ is a scam. His wife parades in $600 Miista boots while he pushes rent freezes that’ll collapse housing stock. They’re moving into Gracie Mansion to dodge the chaos their policies create,” @CityDeskNYC tweeted Thursday.

“Remember: this ‘man of the people’ met his designer wife on Hinge while crafting a luxury aesthetic for his campaign,” the account continued. “Real New Yorkers can’t afford boots or rent—they’re stuck with Mamdani’s performative socialism and a city sliding into activist-run decay.”  

Another critic proclaimed, “They’re $600. But when he seizes the means of production, everyone will be able to afford them.”

Duwaji, an animator and illustrator, also wore a black coat and skirt with gleaming earrings to the ceremony, where she held the centuries-old Quran on which Mamdani rested his hand.

In November, as Mamdani gave his victory speech, Duwaji reportedly wore a dark denim square-neck top made by Palestinian-Jordanian designer Zeid Hijazi along with dangling earrings by the upscale New York City jewelry designer Eddie Borgo, who sells some pairs for more than $46,000 a pop.

Duwaji didn’t on Thursday immediately return a request for comment from The Post, including about whether the boots belong to her.

A rep for Miista, which bills itself as “a close-knit group of artisans based in Spain & Portugal,”  didn’t return a request for comment about whether the boots are indeed one of their designs.
