Social media dominance! Many YouTube stars and TikTok users, including the likes Emma Chamberlain Addison Rae, were among a select few to receive invites to the 2022 Met Gala.
The Monday, May 2, benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art aimed to celebrate the best of fashion throughout American history with its “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” theme. A dress code was described as “gilded glamour.”
Chamberlain (20 years old) made her Met Gala second appearance on Monday. She wore a white two-piece Louis Vuitton gown, small diamond tiara, matching choker, and a Louis Vuitton dress. Before she stepped out on the red carpet, Chamberlain also showed off her platinum hair.
“I’m not freaked out,” Chamberlain told E! News On the Met steps. “It’s actually fun this year! [Being here, I’m surrounded by] a warm community, it’s not all [stiff and] it’s really welcoming and sweet.”
Chamberlain Coffee founder said that she had changed her signature hairstyle to fit her outfit better. She gushed, “I love being blonde.”
The California native previously attended last year’s annual fundraiser in September 2021 as a host for Vogue’s official livestream, wearing a glittery Louis Vuitton gown.
“It is like my dream dress and I couldn’t have dreamed a better dress,” she told Access on the floor at the same time. “With moments like this, you want to go all in [and]The larger the better. I normally don’t dress up and I don’t normally wear things like this, and this wouldn’t have been something I normally would have chosen but after so long of not being able to express myself in that way, I just wanted to go in!”
The He’s All That star, 21, also attended Monday’s iconic fashion event for the second time. Rae wore a silver, satin-embellished halter dress and paired it up with a pair earrings.
The Louisiana native made her Met debut last September wearing a striking red ensemble.
“The dress that I ended up going with is a 2003 vintage Tom Ford for Gucci dress,” Rae explained in a YouTube video of her experience. “It’s red, it’s beautiful, it’s classic and I’m very excited for everyone to see it and hopefully everyone loves it because I love it so much. I’m here [and] I’m having an amazing time so far and, I just hope you guys enjoy watching.”
The Item Beauty entrepreneur noted in her recap footage that she purchased the gown so she can keep it “forever and ever.”
