![]() Instead, Sorokin seemed to understand something a little sadder: that this is probably her last chance ever to get all dolled up. This is not a woman who was worried that appearing in a prison uniform would make her look guilty-which is what drove her to use the stylist in the first place. It was somehow not a shock whenever it was reported throughout the case-more than once-that Sorokin was in tears and refusing to enter the courtroom because she didn’t have the right clothing. (And don’t forget that Trump’s candidacy started not with his horrifying policies, but with a red hat.) ![]() Just as Donald Trump became president because he is, as Fran Lebowitz says, a poor person's idea of a rich person, Sorokin is a guilty person's vision of an innocent one. Clothing is an essential part of the scamming ecosystem now. I was shocked to see how many people cheered on Sorokin for her styling antics as some kind of socialite Robin Hood, while Holmes-who, through duping members of America’s ultra-establishment like Henry Kissinger and former Secretary of State George Schultz with pseudo-science and blonde hair, exposed just how easy it can be to raise several million dollars-was criticized as a moron for assembling herself a wardrobe of black turtlenecks just because Steve Jobs wore them.īoth Holmes and Delvey did terrible things-but society, at first, took both of them at their wardrobes. (It’s also worth noting that the jurors, by law, have had no idea about any of this stylist drama.) Instead, it was the way Sorokin did it, which was so in keeping with her entire story: half-hearted, sloppy, totally deluded-and yet wildly engrossing because, somehow, it also kind of worked.īut this generosity doesn’t extend to their much-scrutinized wardrobes. According to The Cut, she was born in Russia and moved to Germany at 16. However, Anna's beginnings were not quite as glamorous. It doesn’t take the state of New York charging you with grand larceny to realize that people are going to judge you by the way you look. Anna Delvey, born Anna Sorokin, won headlines around the world after being caught scamming New York's elite out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by pretending to be a German heiress. In retrospect, it certainly wasn’t unusual that Sorokin used a courtroom stylist. Even after several months in Rikers, Sorokin was still hoping to manipulate us, but now with the only resource left available to her: clothing. Her lawyer revealed to GQ that she was using a courtroom stylist, her clothing-related antics caused a number of delays in the proceedings, and a dedicated Instagram account documented every look with vague panache (“April 22nd, 2019: Snake Is In”). In a case involving art and finance industry power players, Sorokin’s wardrobe somehow defined her trial over the past month. You wonder if she already knew what verdict lay in store: only a guilty woman would think that wearing a white lace dress to the final day of your trial would make you look innocent. The ex-convict also set up a Twitter account. She shared an Instagram snap after being released early from prison yesterday. Anna Sorokin-aka Anna Delvey, aka “the Soho Grifter”-was found guilty Friday of swindling hotels, restaurants, banks, and more out of over $200,000. Anna Sorokin, also known as 'Fake Heiress' Anna Delvey, is a free woman.
