Charli XCX, Emma Chamberlain, Venus Williams: The Best and Most Outrageous Looks at the 2026 Met Gala

Emma Chamberlain

Emma Chamberlain was an immediate stand-out of the night wearing a custom Mugler gown by Miguel Castro Freitas. Arriving early as Vogue’s special correspondent, Chamberlain looked like a hand-painted masterpiece come to life. Chamberlain said she and her stylist Jared Ellner dug into the fashion house’s iconic archival pieces for inspiration. “There is sort of this watercolor feel, and I love watercolor painting,” Chamberlain told Vogue. “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.”
