Okay, so, I just had to share this with you guys, ’cause it’s been a wild ride. You know how sometimes you see something online and you’re like, “I gotta try that”? Well, that’s what happened to me with this whole “Emma Chamberlain naked” thing. Now, before you jump to any conclusions, hear me out.

It all started when I was scrolling through my usual YouTube recommendations. I’ve always been a fan of Emma Chamberlain. She’s just so relatable, you know? Her style, her humor, and she is just so funny when she was talking about her hair changes, from her original brown hair to blonde. It makes me think that should I change my hair color or not.
So, I stumbled upon this trend, and at first, I was like, “What the heck is this?” I mean, the title alone is pretty out there. But the more I looked into it, the more I realized it wasn’t what it seemed. It’s not about her actually being naked, but more about stripping down her usual style, going back to basics, you know?
I got curious. I mean, I’ve always been one to experiment with my look, so I thought, “Why not give this a shot?” Plus, I figured it could be a fun little project to document. I always enjoy watching her fashion hauls.
- Phase 1: The Research
First, I watched a bunch of Emma’s older videos, the ones where she’s just chilling in her room, no fancy outfits, no elaborate makeup. I wanted to get a feel for her natural vibe. I noticed she often wore simple tees, comfy hoodies, and not much makeup, if any. That’s what I was gonna do.
- Phase 2: The Purge
Next, I went through my own closet. This was the hard part, honestly. I had to put away all my statement pieces, my colorful clothes, anything that screamed “look at me!” It felt weird, like I was hiding a part of myself. But, I committed. I packed them away in a box and pushed it to the back of my closet. I didn’t do much makeup, just like Emma in her vlogs.

- Phase 3: The Experiment
For a whole week, I went full “Emma Chamberlain naked” mode. I wore the most basic outfits I could find: plain t-shirts, jeans, hoodies. No jewelry, no accessories. And I went bare-faced, which was the scariest part for me. I’m so used to at least putting on some concealer and mascara. I just followed her style in her cooking videos and her car vlogs.
- Phase 4: The Reflection
Honestly, it was a strange experience. At first, I felt really self-conscious. Like everyone was staring at me, judging me for not making an effort. But then, something shifted. I started to feel…lighter? Like I wasn’t carrying the weight of expectations anymore. It was kind of liberating, in a way. I felt the same way when I saw the news that she needed to take a step back in May 2022.
The Results
So, what did I learn from this whole experiment? Well, a few things:
- It’s okay to be basic sometimes. It doesn’t make you boring or uninteresting.
- Comfort is key. When you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows.
- Confidence comes from within. It’s not about the clothes or the makeup, it’s about how you feel about yourself.
Would I do it again? Maybe. It was definitely an interesting experience, and I think I learned a lot about myself in the process. It’s nice to know that I can strip it all back and still feel like me. It was fun to see some BTS of her fashion week excursions. But I also missed my colorful clothes and my makeup. They’re part of who I am, too.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this with you guys. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to experiment, to try new things, and to step outside of your comfort zone. You might just surprise yourself with what you find.
