What do The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, and Lykke Li all have in common? They’ve all performed at campaign rallies and events in support of Bernie Sanders. Now Li is the latest celebrity to turn her political endorsement into a fashion statement. Li posted a photo to Instagram in which she is holding up a Bernie sign in a black striped Eytys dress and a pair of over-the-knee crocodile Ganni boots.
Li is not the first to turn a look while expressing support for Sanders—Emily Ratajkowski has also been known to wear her love for Sanders on her sleeve—but her support comes at an especially critical time in Sanders’s campaign after Vice President Joe Biden proved himself a force to be reckoned with this past Super Tuesday. The Swedish pop star’s preference for Sanders might not come as much of a surprise given her home country’s robust social welfare programs. In any case, Li reminds us that politics and fashion aren’t mutually exclusive.
