Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as the 112th mayor of New York in an abandoned subway station near City Hall. His wife, Rama Duwaji, stood by his side in a vintage Balenciaga coat and statement boots. The couple was styled by fashion editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. Duwaji faced criticism for her expensive Miista boots, but defended her fashion choices as a way to send a message about Palestinians.
