Met Gala 2024 WORST-dressed stars revealed: Emma Chamberlain suffers a major fashion fail
The Met Gala is arguably fashion’s biggest night of the year – but several celebrities stepping out on the red carpet this evening at the prestigious event proved that it is also a prime example of when a desperate desire to make a style mark can go horribly wrong.
For while many guests at this year’s gala wowed and awed with their fashion looks, several suffered such disastrous style fails that they left the red carpet looking more like a Halloween parade.
The dress code for this year’s event is The Garden of Time, which pairs with the new exhibition that it is being held to honor: Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, a somewhat ironic title given that several of the attendees looked much like they had just rolled out of bed and straight onto the red carpet.
Crazed hairstyles, see-through dresses, and bizarre attempts at haute couture costumes had all been paraded in front of the cameras within just minutes of the event kicking off.
Emma Chamberlain, 22, suffered a very rare fashion fail at this year’s Met Gala, where she led the list of worst-dressed stars
The online star donned a drab brown lace gown that left her looking like a tree trunk cut down in its prime – a far cry from the stylish star that many know her as
Host Anna Wintour’s daughter Bee Carrozzini also missed the mark in her own lace number, which had an incredibly strange pattern and featured several different cut-outs that left it looking a bit like it had been pieced together at the last minute
Game of Thrones icon Gwendoline Christie was giving more ‘maniacal magician’ than haute couture style star thanks to her bizarre cape and bafflingly voluminous hairstyle
La La Anthony also landed herself a spot on the worst-dressed list thanks to her very tacky-looking corset gown, which featured a lace panel that ran up her neck and into sleeves
The rest of the design flowed into a large rose-shaped mermaid-style hem at the floor, which left her looking akin to a Disney villain – an image that was not helped by the addition of a crystal-covered rose-shaped handbag that she carried with her
Influencer and YouTube star Emma Chamberlain, 22, was one early arrival who suffered a very rare fashion fail, donning a drab brown lace gown that left her looking like a tree trunk cut down in its prime – a far cry from the stylish star that many know her as.
Host Anna Wintour’s daughter Bee Carrozzini also missed the mark in her own lace number, which had an incredibly strange black-and-white pattern that looked more like an optical illusion than the design for a high-end piece of couture.
It also featured several different cut-outs and string embellishments that left it looking a bit like it had been pieced together at the last minute, rather than having been carefully planned for many weeks in advance.
Lace proved to be a tricky fabric for many at this evening’s event, with La La Anthony also landing herself a spot on the worst-dressed list thanks to her very tacky-looking corset gown, which featured a lace panel that ran up her neck and into sleeves, while the rest of the design flowed down into a large rose-shaped mermaid-style hem at the floor.
Broadway star J. Harrison Ghee chose to take the garden theme a little too literally by dressing up as a giant bug
Actress and influencer Jessica Serfaty caught the eye for all the wrong reasons in her flower-embellished gown, which was horrifying enough to look at, before she then removed the outer layer to show off her tacky silver bra underneath
Jordan Roth’s attempt at flower power also fell woefully flat
Thai fashion star Nichapat Suphap certainly drew attention with her incredibly revealing look, but the tacky design would have been better suited to a trashy beauty pageant than an event of such esteem
Outspoken author Jill Kargman revealed on Instagram that she had taken inspiration from a Tim Burton movie for her outfit, and the baffling lace number certainly left her looking like a character from Corpse Bride
However there were many who steered clear of lace but were still unable to avoid a major style slip-up.
Actress and influencer Jessica Serfaty caught the eye for all the wrong reasons in her flower-embellished gown, which looked as though it had been DIY-ed by a high school home economics glass, courtesy of the bizarre 3-D flowers that were stuck all over it, covering her in an array of clashing colors and textures.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, she then removed the garish outer layer to reveal a sheer neon pink under layer than left her incredibly skimpy silver bra on full display – a far cry from the refined elegance that the Met Gala is meant to represent.
