Emma Chamberlain is nothing if not consistent, and the social media star is back at the Met Gala 2024 for her third year as Vogue's special red carpet correspondent.

Over the past few years, the YouTuber has established herself as a formidable force in the world of fashion and entertainment. It wasn’t until 2022, however, that she really became one to watch in the fashion world, making a statement in a two piece Louis Vuitton set. The look, including her freshly dyed blonde hairdo, not only turned heads, but also received compliments from some of fashion’s biggest names. For all of her previous Met Gala appearances, Chamberlain has exclusively worn Louis Vuitton.

For the 2024 Met Gala, Chamberlain took a different route in a custom sheer, brown, lace Jean Paul Gaultier gown. She described her look as “decaying” to Fashionista — which given The Garden of Time dress code, is incredibly on theme.

Chamberlain always uses the Met as an opportunity to turn heads, give people something to talk about, or get them talking. It’s almost like we can’t celebrate the first Monday in May without her anymore. Below, dive into some of the best Emma Chamberlain Met Gala moments of all time from years past:

The Met Gala Is Actually Girls Night

At Met Gala 2023, a soaring Kendall Jenner escorted by her younger sister Kylie arrived to chat with Chamberlain and the three made plans to party it up inside the Gala. Throughout the night, Chamberlain was on a mission to find the perfect co-host for the night and in the running was Jenner and her bestie Gigi Hadid.

Emma Gets Confirmation That People Fall in Love at the Met Gala

In a conversation with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas, Chamberlain found out that the two actually started their love story on the infamous carpet 6 years prior. In 2017, Nick and Priyanka were both invited to the event by Ralph Lauren and famously escorted each other on the red carpet, sparking conversation. The rest is history after they began their budding romance, which now has blossomed into a marriage and a family. What other love stories have unfolded at the Met Gala?

The Reunion We’ve Been Waiting For

Jack Harlow and Emma Chamberlain were finally reunited after their viral moment at the 2022 Gala where the two exchanged quick love confessions to each other after a cheeky interview. “How are we going to outdo what we did?” Chamberlain asked Harlow, but the 2023 interview was just as charming and cheeky. We hope this iconic duo continues to happen for Met Galas to come.

A Stray Doja Cat Sneaks Up Behind Emma and Jennie

One of the first stops Jennie made as she arrived at her Met Gala debut in 2023 was to greet Chamberlain and share her excitement about being at the event for the first time. The two seemed very excited to meet each other and during their conversation, a stray Doja Cat snuck behind with a vape in hand. Classic.

Meow?

The real, and perhaps even more memorable Doja Cat moment comes when she actually had a conversation with Chamberlain. The rapper made her Met Gala debut in 2023 dressed as Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved cat, Choupette. She and Chamberlain shared an interesting chat, where Doja Choupette responded in meows. We love a commitment to the bit.

A 2023 Outfit Change

In 2023, Chamberlain walked the steps of the Met in a pastel blue Miu Miu two-piece set with a daring leg slit. She paired the sleek and beautiful blue look with a matching headband and a pair of silver chunky heels. Before taking over her duties as correspondent for Vogue, she switched into a black custom Miu Miu two-piece number, similar to the pastel blue look she wore on the carpet, but with a bit more edge.

The Jack Harlow Approach

The YouTube star is no stranger to collecting millions of views and that’s exactly what happened when she interviewed rapper Jack Harlow on the red carpet. After a hilarious exchange between the rapper and the starlet, the two exchanged a quick ‘love ya!’ before parting ways. Chamberlain looked slightly surprised at what just happened after he walked away. We’re still thinking about this endearing exchange, even years later.

Emma Chamberlain x Bad Bunny

We loved this moment between Chamberlain and Bad Bunny, where both of them had their charisma on full blast. This conversation was so effortless and nonchalant, proving just how cool, calm, and collected the two of them are.

A Bond With Gigi Hadid

One of the best interview moments from the carpet was when she and Gigi Hadid shared a moment and shared a sisterly bond. The two talked about how they changed their hair for the event and admired each others’ looks. “You looked so major. When I saw you on the carpet, I was like ‘oh slay,’” Gigi told her new bestie. How could we ever forget an exchange like this?

Relatable Girls Billie Eilish and Emma Chamberlain

Chamberlain and Billie Eilish talked about how much they love judging all the looks they see at the Met, except this time, they’re actually there in person. We love our relatable fashion queens.

Starstruck in Front of Phoebe Bridgers

Chamberlain proved again to us that she’s a relatable icon when she revealed just how much she loves Phoebe Bridgers after interviewing the singer-songwriter on the carpet. “I really love her. But I was too scared to be like, ‘I really love your album.’ I don’t know, I wanted to seem cool,” she shared. We get it.
