Emma Chamberlain attends Met Gala 2026 as Vogue’s red-carpet correspondent in a custom Mugler gown hand-painted by Anna Deller‑Yee, designed to feel like a painting with watercolor textures and an ominous undertone, created after art-reference briefings with Mugler’s Miguel Castro Freitas and her stylist; she finishes the look with navy dyed Stuart Weitzman heels and embraces fashion as art.
YouTuber Emma Chamberlain and musician Role Model have ended their relationship after more than a year together.

The Met Gala's theme this year is Karl Lagerfeld, and rumors suggest that more than one person will attend dressed as Lagerfeld's beloved cat, Choupette. Trend forecaster Mandy Lee thinks Doja Cat is the most likely to cosplay Choupette, while Sofia Richie and Emma Chamberlain are also potential contenders. Bad Bunny could also surprise with a cat-inspired look. Kardashian is unlikely to dress as Choupette, having already been suggested by Lee to wear a Schiapparelli dress with a cat head bustier, which Kylie Jenner wore earlier this year.
