Emma Chamberlain Wears Custom Red Armani to 2026 Academy Museum Gala

Emma Chamberlain attended the 2026 Academy Museum Gala in a custom red Giorgio Armani gown, styled by Jared Ellner, with makeup by Armani Beauty. The fundraiser for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures honored Charlize Theron, Colman Domingo, and John Carpenter, and featured a performance by Taylor Swift. Chamberlain described the evening as "a very classic Hollywood evening," noting the after-party at the Chateau. Newly brunette, she cited Audrey Hepburn and Winona Ryder as inspirations, saying Ryder helped her "gain the courage" to dye her hair brown. At the previous year's gala she wore archival Giorgio Armani from the spring 1999 collection, a sage-green beaded dress. Her cinematic look coincides with her acting debut in the film Forbidden Fruits. For beauty, she balanced classic and goth elements, favoring "something a little less beautiful and a little bit more haunting." On hiatus from her podcast Anything Goes since April, Chamberlain said she is co-producing a mystery project with "indie vibes," doing her own hair and makeup daily with Armani foundation and concealer.
