Emma Chamberlain Stuns in Nature-Inspired Gaultier at Met Gala
The Met Gala, one of fashion's most prestigious events, is taking place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, featuring a star-studded roster of attendees. This year, the gala's theme is "The Garden of Time," drawing inspiration from J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story. Emma Chamberlain, a prominent YouTuber and fashion influencer, is attending the gala for the fourth time and is hosting the red carpet for Vogue alongside other notable figures such as Gwendoline Christie, LaLa Anthony, and Ashley Graham. She is expected to wear two custom dresses designed by Jean Paul Gaultier, created in collaboration with Maria Eugenia Perez Pinaud, showcasing modern silhouettes with intricate lacework.
Among the celebrities making an appearance are Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth, who are also serving as co-chairs for the event. High-profile guests have been spotted arriving in custom outfits, such as Hemsworth in Jean Paul Gaultier and Bad Bunny in Maison Margiela Artisanal Couture. The Mark hotel, situated near the museum, is hosting numerous celebrities as they prepare for the gala, with the likes of Cardi B, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, and Gigi Hadid expected to stay there.
The Met Gala serves as a major fundraiser for the museum's Costume Institute, which is unique in that it is the only department that funds itself. The event will be covered through a Vogue exclusive livestream starting at 6 p.m. Eastern on various digital platforms, including TikTok and YouTube. Additionally, The Associated Press will provide live coverage outside The Mark hotel, capturing the pre-gala preparations and the attendees' grand entrance.
