- Hi Vogue. It's Emma Chamberlain.
Wait, should I say I'm Emma Chamberlain.
I'm Emma Chamberlain
Today I'm getting ready for my very first Met Gala
and I'm hosting some interviews for Vogue
and I am extremely nervous.
But let's get ready together.
Come on in.
[mellow music]
We can't really do like a normal glam convo,
I feel like on the record, you know what I mean?
Isn't it true that, like,
the conversations that you have during glam
are genuinely like rated R, or like NC-17
or like, it's just, like--
- [Woman] I feel like they go south quick.
- They go so south.
What happens in glam, stays in glam.
- [Woman] Yeah, a bit.
It's kind of like that.
- [Emma] So we've like gone back and forth
with what we were going to do for hair.
We went from like doing straight long hair,
middle part all the way, like hair down to my butt.
And then we saw the dress and we're like,
"That's not gonna work."
So then we went to doing an updo.
But then I got scared
that I was going to look like I was at my first prom.
'Cause I haven't gone to prom.
Actually, this kind of feels like I'm going to prom.
I feel like this is what the nerves are like.
'Cause it's like, you're not that scared,
but you're like excited
and you're like excited to see everyone older.
This is my prom experience.
- [Woman] Wait, so who are you
like most excited to meet tonight?
- I'm going to do a PR answer and say, you know, Grimes.
I love Grimes.
Like I'm, I'm a really--
I just think she's a genius and she's brilliant.
So I'm really excited to meet her.
But like the real answer
is like not going to be said on the internet.
- [Makeup Artist] Who is it?
- Uh-huh.
- I knew that.
- [Woman] You have to tell us.
- I will not.
That'll be the fun game.
It's like you guys can guess.
- [Woman] And no one will know.
- And no one will know.
It's like nobody will know for sure.
I dunno, I've been saying to my family and friends,
I'm like, wait, I don't have friends.
Literally to my family.
I've just been saying like, "I, why am I not nervous?"
Like I should be losing my mind, freaking out over this.
And for some reason I'm just not frightened.
I, I feel very cool, calm, and collected about it.
It's kind of fun
when like you don't really know what's going on.
It's like a blind date with myself.
Are things getting spicy.
- [Woman] It's gorgeous already.
Oh, stop. I'm so excited.
I, see, I don't want to see until it's done.
- [Makeup Artist] I think you'll get excited
about each step, though.
- Really?
- [Woman] Yeah.
- Okay.
- [Woman] You should look.
- I'll check in the mirror.
Oh, oh.
- [Makeup Artist] It's gonna be a thing.
- [Woman] The under is amazing.
- [Makeup Artist] Can I help?
- That's not serious posing.
- [Makeup Artist] It's going to be like a beetle shell.
You know how it's like gold to green?
It's so sick.
Laura, I love what you've done with this.
I'm so excited.
I think that's the dress.
Wait, let's go.
I mean, I've already seen it, but, like, I'm so excited.
Move!
[laughs]
Come on in.
- [Man] Are you ready?
- Literally whip it out.
- Oh my God.
- Stop. I mean, this has been my best friend
for the past 48 hours.
Like I've seen her quite a few times,
but it's like our wedding day today.
Like me and her's wedding day.
Also the nails look so good with it.
See the nails are like, the nails are worth--
This length is completely unlivable
but seeing them next to it makes it worth it.
The fact that I didn't know how to function
for the past 15 hours is now worth it
because it just came together too well.
We had one day where I did a fitting for my nails,
which I've never done.
So she fitted these to my nail bed.
That took probably like an hour and a half-ish.
And then last night I got them put on
and that took about four hours.
And so these, these, this is my five-hour manicure.
- We're going to need to do some lashes,
the lip.
- I'd give it another 40 minutes until total done.
- Cover you in body makeup.
- Oh, that's gonna, that's a new experience.
I'm going to need to pee like at least six times.
- [Emma] I am putting on body makeup.
I didn't know that this was a thing.
But apparently this is going to hide all of my bruises
and make me look shimmery and my absolute best.
[upbeat music]
Body makeup is done.
The nerves are beginning to happen
but I'm ready to get dressed.
I mean, there's kind of no breathing room today.
It's like, go, go, go.
I don't have any time to think.
Which I think is probably a good thing.
I mean, I think once I'm in the dress,
I'll feel this like new surge of confidence.
Whereas right now, like I'm, you know, wearing a robe,
I don't feel like in my element.
Or maybe I'm just nervous and it's not going to go away.
See you when it's on.
Wait, this is like, I'm putting it on,
and then I'm never, I'm like not taking it off.
Like this is it.
Okay.
Hello everybody.
- [Woman] Oh my god.
- I feel genuinely sick to my stomach right now.
[mellow music]
- [Woman] We're gonna go up.
- [Woman 2] Does everyone have everything?
- [Emma] It was nice meeting everyone.
[mellow music]
[people talking in crowd]
- [Onlooker] Gorgeous! Love you!
- Thank you. Thank you.
Am I shaking? Yes.
- [Man] So makeup, you obviously look like yourself,
but it's an alter ego.
- Oh, it's an alter ego.
You know what?
If I look at it like that,
maybe it's like going to be good.
If I think of it, like, this is not Emma,
this is Emily tonight.
- [Man] This is Emily.
- Then like maybe it'll help.
If anybody calls me Emma, I'm gonna be offended.
And I'm like, "You didn't get the memo?"
Should I hold this?
- Yeah.
- Am I gonna wave?
[crowd cheering]
- It's actually easy to walk in.
- Okay, great.
[upbeat music]
- [Woman] Turn around and say, like,
"Bye, Vogue."
- Bye, Vogue.
We did it.
I don't know how this is gonna go.
Wish me luck.
