NYPD Furious Mayor’s Wife Wore Jeans to Cop’s Funeral; Except She Really Didn’t

Today, Chirlane McCray and City Hall were forced into the unusual situation of having to defend a pantsuit.

During the funeral of Officer Wenjian Liu, who was shot along with another cop by a mentally ill gunman, observers noticed that McCray, the wife of embattled New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, was wearing pants that looked like artfully faded denim jeans. And given that the NYPD blamed de Blasio’s statements about cops unfairly targeting black men for causing the Liu’s death, this did not go over well. So they turned into the fashion police.

“We found it disrespectful,” a Queens cop told the New York Daily News, saying that the image was making the rounds among the NYPD.

And, from that one image alone, they really do look like jeans. However, the Daily News reached out to Anni Kuan, one of McCray’s favorite designers, who explained that it was really just a polyester-rayon blend that happened to look like jeans. “”It’s a very respectful suit you would wear to an important gathering,” Kuan said. “It’s not made of jean at all.”

So yes, McCray wasn’t wearing jeans, and City Hall would like the NYPD to stop kvetching about it, please. “The dark pantsuit the First Lady wore to Detective Liu’s funeral was somber and appropriate,” a de Blasio spokeswoman said. “We should be talking about Detective Liu and his family, not fabric and fashion.”
