Emma Chamberlain, the social media sensation born in 2001, managed to channel the spirit of the 1990s with her captivating appearance at the 2023 LACMA Art+Film Gala held on November 4. Despite the fact that she never experienced the ’90s firsthand, her shaggy brunette bob and monochromatic bronze makeup left everyone in awe.
Chamberlain graced the star-studded gala in a chic bronze minidress reminiscent of the late ’90s, and her hair and makeup perfectly complemented the theme. Her dark hair, which gracefully cascades to her collarbone, was styled with a center part and casual, effortless waves that echoed the iconic ’90s shag hairstyle, reminiscent of Meg Ryan’s signature look. She even brushed a small section of hair over one eye, adding an extra touch of casual chic to her appearance.
The influencer opted for a bronze-inspired makeup palette, adorning her eyelids with a shimmery copper shade, and a slightly darker hue on her lower lash lines, giving depth to her bright, pale blue eyes. Her lips were adorned with a beautiful coppery rose satin lipstick. Instead of going for the slim ’90s arch brows, Chamberlain embraced her natural full and lush brows, brushing them up slightly and avoiding dark pencils or pomades. To complete her throwback look, she chose a matching brown manicure, proving that a brown-on-brown monochromatic style is the epitome of cool.
This isn’t the first time Chamberlain has embraced iconic beauty trends of the past. At the 2023 Met Gala, she embraced the Y2K-inspired blue eyeshadow and smoky eyeliner, a perfect fit for a middle school homecoming dance. (Chamberlain skipped the matching frosty lipstick and went for a light caramel brown shade.) With her recent appearances at Fashion Week and on the red carpet, Chamberlain exudes a major Y2K rom-com main character vibe. It’s safe to say that someone should cast her in a remake of ’13 Going on 30′ ASAP.
