Donald Trump's adviser Alex Bruesewitz has angrily responded to a fashion article that criticized the outfits worn by him and other MAGA guests at his high-profile wedding to former Miss Nevada Carolina Urrea at Trump National Doral Miami. The Cut article also took aim at the wedding attire of fellow Trump goon Dan Scavino and his bride Erin Elmore at their Mar-a-Lago nuptials. Bruesewitz posted the article on social media, calling the journalist "FAKE NEWS!" and sharing photos of her, leading to his followers launching personal insults.

Why it matters

The backlash highlights the sensitivity of Trump's inner circle to any criticism, even of something as trivial as wedding fashion. It also reflects the deep partisan divide, where even innocuous fashion commentary is seen through a political lens by MAGA supporters.

The details

The Cut article, titled "Welcome to MAGA Wedding Season," criticized the outfits worn by guests at both Bruesewitz's and Scavino's weddings, saying "basically no one was capable of turning a look." It singled out specific fashion choices, such as Nicki Minaj's "little sequined moment" and Amber Rose's apparent decision to keep her "Louis Vuitton holographic sunglasses" on during the ceremony. The article also took aim at other guests, including Elon Musk's red scarf and Lara Trump's "enormous gold smart watch."

  • Bruesewitz's wedding took place on Saturday, February 4, 2026.
  • Scavino's wedding was held the following day, Sunday, February 5, 2026.
