Dancing with Scams: Anna Delvey Struts in Style with an Ankle Monitor!

You won’t believe how convicted con artist Anna Delvey is stealing the spotlight on Dancing With the Stars—with a sparkly ankle monitor, of course! Join us for the wild ride!

Anna Delvey, the notorious fake heiress also known as Anna Sorokin, made her jaw-dropping entrance on the Season 33 premiere of 'Dancing With the Stars' (DWTS), and the buzz surrounding it was electrifying! Rocking a blinged-out ankle monitor (yes, you read that right), Delvey didn’t just dance her way into America’s hearts but also brought a new meaning to the phrase ‘entertainment in chains’. As the hip-hop beats played, viewers were treated to a unique combination of glitzy outfits and scandalous pasts—a two-for-one special!

The costume designer for DWTS, Daniela Gschwendtner, had quite the challenge outfitting Delvey, merging high fashion with the limitations of an ankle monitor. In an exclusive interview, she shared how she creatively incorporated this unusual accessory into the ensemble. "It required a lot of imagination—a classic ‘make lemonade out of lemons’ situation!" she quipped. Of course, Anna’s comedic flair didn’t go unnoticed throughout the premiere, as she laughed about her prison history—turning a serious topic into a springboard for steamy tango beats.

Among the audience was Carrie Ann Inaba, who urged viewers to give this convicted scammer a chance on the dance floor. Not everyone was thrilled with her presence, though. In fact, many fans were divided, with some expressing outrage over Delvey's inclusion in a celebrated dancing competition. But let’s not forget, this isn’t your typical contestant—we’re talking about someone who, by sheer audacity, once finessed $275,000 from hotels and banks! Anna even made headlines during her number by referencing to ICE, claiming she secured their permission to participate—prompting mixed reactions from the audience and judges alike.

What began as a scandalous introduction actually turned into quite the conversation starter! While some may question the appropriateness of featuring a fraudster, others see Delvey as a social media goldmine. If anything, her presence on the show challenges us to face societal fascination with infamy—proving that some can pirouette from prison sentences into reality TV stardom surprisingly smoothly.

Speaking of crime and performance, did you know that the art of deception has been a captivating storyline in television history? From ‘The Great Gatsby’ to ‘Catch Me If You Can’, the allure of the con artist paints a vivid picture of human ambition—often crossing moral lines. One thing’s for sure: Anna Delvey is here not just to dance, but to remind us all that in the world of entertainment, the show must go on, sparkle or not!
