The YouTube star is blinging it out on the red carpet with her blindingly breathtaking Met Gala look
It would be hard to miss Emma Chamberlain at the Met Gala with her dazzling gold-studded, Bond-esque dress that was custom made for her by Louis Vuitton. Working together with designer Nicolas Ghesquière—the French fashion house’s women’s artistic director—the gown was a custom-made, sparkling asymmetric dress with a frontal cut-out that was fashioned out of silk organza, sequins, and rhinestones. It might have been her Met Gala debut, but the YouTube star managed to steal the show with her showstopping gown embellished with gold jewellery and heels, and her ’60s Twiggy-esque makeup style was just the cherry on top.

Speaking to PopSugar about how the dress was conceived, she relished in the harmonious creative process, and explained how she contributed her ideas to the design process and placed her faith in the genius of Ghesquière.
“I’ve been working with Louis Vuitton for a while now and it’s been so effortless. At first, we were bouncing basic ideas back and forth, which was very collaborative. Then Nicolas Ghesquière came back to me with a custom look idea. He actually sent two over and after a lot of thinking, I chose my favourite. I’m really open-minded and I put a lot of trust into the designer and stylists because this is their art and, in a sense, a canvas for them,” said Chamberlain.

Taking inspiration from glamour icons of the ’60s, the entirely embroidered dress has two diamond-shaped panels that meet in the middle and come together to create a deep “V” décolleté, and golden chain straps decorate an otherwise fairly nude back. The dress top is then attached to a similarly studded mini skirt that ends in an asymmetric, square train, creating a mesmerising effect of timeless poise and elegance.
