The Met Gala 2026 is the talk of the town, with several celebrities donning their best ensembles, which celebrates the theme 'Costume Art', which explores the intersection of fashion and art over 5000 years. Attendees leaned into the theme with highly curated, sculptural, and sometimes naked dressing. Social media personality Emma Chamberlain, who is not a rookie to this fashion event, revealed the story behind the gown and how it was hand-painted.
Emma Chamberlain reveals details about her Met Gala 2026 gown
Emma Chamberlain, in a conversation with Vogue, explained how the gown for Met Gala 2026 came to life and from where it was inspired. She said, "I'm taking it really seriously in a way that I feel like I haven't in the past. I just want to be as peaceful as possible and rest."
She further stated, "I'm somebody who really believes that fashion is art. My dad is an oil painter and a watercolour painter, and I grew up in a very creative household with art all over my house. There is sort of this watercolour feel, and I love watercolour painting,” she says. “But then also there’s a creepy, sort of ominous undertone to the gown, like the way that it moves. And that is very much my taste in art."
