Miss America wore ‘MAHA’ gown to inaugural ball in celebration of RFK Jr.

An Atelier dress designer and supporter of President Donald Trump, Andre Soriano, continues to make headlines with his unique and bold creations. This time, Soriano designed a green “Make America Healthy Again” dress for Miss America Abbie Stockard, who was crowned on January 5. The custom gown was worn by Stockard at the MAHA inaugural ball, a night of celebration for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Trump’s pick for secretary of Health and Human Services on January 20.

Soriano, originally from the Philippines and now a shop owner in Occoquan, Virginia, shared his admiration for Stockard, calling her the best representation of America and a great example for all kids. Despite facing backlash and criticism for his patriotic designs, Soriano remains resilient and focused on his craft.

The designer, known for creating the infamous “Make America Great Again” dress worn by singer-songwriter Joy Villa at the 2017 Grammy Awards, shared that he created Stockard’s dress in just eight hours. Despite the tight timeline, the gown fit Stockard perfectly, showcasing Soriano’s attention to detail and expertise in tailoring.

In addition to Stockard’s dress, Soriano revealed that he had been commissioned to create eight to ten dresses for Inauguration Day, making January a hectic month for the designer. Despite the challenges, Soriano expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to showcase his work and support for America.

As Soriano continues to push boundaries with his designs, he remains unapologetically patriotic and committed to creating statement pieces that celebrate American values. His bold creations have sparked conversations and controversy, but Soriano remains steadfast in his belief in the power of fashion to make a statement.
