Anna Delveyis getting shady.
The convicted con artist was spotted as she headed to herweekly immigration appointmentin New York City on Thursday. Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, has been serving house arrest since October 2022 due to an ongoing immigration case.
The 32-year-old showed up to the federal agency in a seafoam green pleated maxi skirt with strappy black heels, and a pair of oversized metal-rimmed sunglasses to match her oversized black leather clutch. Delvey finished her look with the ensemble’s most daring piece, a black sweatshirt that had “I H8 Anna Delvey” printed in a white font over a red background.

Delvey is known for her efforts to pose as a wealthy German heiress to infiltrate into the inner circle of the city’s biggest socialites.
Beginning when she moved to New York City in 2013 and through 2017, the Russian-born con artistused a fake personato spend invalid credit cards and issue fake bank statements, bounced from hotel to hotel, and stole an estimated $275,000. Throughout those years she also created the idea of the Anna Delvey Foundation, a private club and art foundation, to entice wealthy donors and further her brand.
Delvey is on house arrest after shewas found guiltyand convicted of attempted grand larceny in the first degree, grand larceny in the second degree, grand larceny in the third degree and theft of services in 2021. Her sentence included 4 to 12 years in prison — which was cut short when she was released in February 2021.
Ahead of her Oct. 5 ICE appointment, theInventing Annasubject teamed up with fashion PR legendKelly Cutroneand the brandSHAOduring New York Fashion Week tohost a fashion showfrom her East Village apartment.
Ahead of the Sept. 11 show, Cutrone, 57, and Delvey launched theOutLaw Agencyand worked together to create an entire NYFW production centered on the “outlaw” theme.
The night of the event, Delvey told PEOPLE, “Nothing has felt like work.” She also credited her partner for her “nonstop” efforts.
While Cutrone may be “nonstop,” she confessed to PEOPLE that the event still had its obstacles, including getting around the fact that Delvey resides in a smaller apartment unit, which led them to pivot to the roof. “It’s really small, so I kind of overshot the mark as a producer to start with, and that’s what pushed us onto the rooftop," Cutrone explained.
Delvey’s venture into hosting live events at her East Village apartment came after the January announcement ofDelvey’s Dinner Club. The planned unscripted reality series, set to be produced in partnership with lifestyle focused media company Butternut, will follow Delvey as she hosts actors, musicians, founders, socialites, journalists and more for private, invite-only dinner parties.
In June, Delvey launched her podcastThe Anna Delvey Showon Spotify, featuring guests such as Whitney Cummings, Julia Fox, Jeremy Harris, Emily Ratajkowski and Kenny Schachter, all of whom came to her house to record the podcast.
