28 of Timothée Chalamet's most daring looks from the last 8 years
Gabbi Shaw
- Timothée Chalamet is one of the biggest stars of his generation.
- He's also cultivated a distinct red-carpet vibe with boldly printed suits or a monochromatic fit.
Chalamet attended a March 2014 screening in a simple gray T-shirt, black blazer, and galaxy-printed pants.
Looking very 2014 (remember when everyone was obsessed with galaxy-print stuff?), Chalamet was just 18 years old when he walked the red carpet in this Tumblr-approved look.
At a June 2014 event, the "Homeland" actor brought denim shorts to the red carpet.
Years before Kristen Stewart was rocking tiny shorts at the Venice Film Festival or the Oscars, Chalemet donned his finest black denim shorts, some beat-up white sneakers, a crisp white tee, and another blazer for the premiere of "Snowpiercer."
A few years later, in September 2017, Chalamet began promoting his breakout film "Call Me By Your Name." At the Toronto International Film Festival premiere, he wore a blue suit with a subtle red stripe running down the leg.
Chalamet's suit was designed by Calvin Klein, according to Just Jared.
Two months later, Chalamet walked the 2017 Gotham Awards red carpet in a burgundy velvet suit and patent leather shoes.
Just a few days after the official release of "Call Me By Your Name," Chalamet attended the Gotham Awards on November 27 in a velvet Berluti suit.
Funnily enough, he was twinning with the director and star of "The Big Sick," Kumail Nanjiani, on the red carpet, who was also wearing a burgundy velvet suit. Unlike Chalamet, Nanjiani opted for a white dress shirt, instead of a simple black cashmere sweater.
To attend the London Film Critics Circle Awards in January 2018, he donned a metallic cobalt-blue suit.
Chalamet wore another Berluti design for the event, this time in a silk blue suit that he paired with another pair of patent leather boots.
Chalamet celebrated his first Oscar nomination by attending the 2018 Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon in this hunter green suit in February.
His verdant ensemble was designed by Gucci.
Chalamet made his first Oscars appearance in March 2018 wearing an off-white tuxedo with a white shirt and bow tie.
As The Hollywood Reporter wrote, Chalamet wore yet another custom Berluti suit for Hollywood's biggest night. Notably, the "Lady Bird" star didn't work with a stylist until 2021, meaning this look was all him.
He attended the September 2018 premiere of "Beautiful Boy" with a new haircut and a black suit printed with white flowers.
According to Vogue, the suit was designed by Haider Ackermann (who used to work at his favorite, Berluti). He added a hefty pair of Christian Louboutin lace-up combat boots to give the suit some edge.
At the San Sebastian International Film Festival a few weeks later, Chalamet wore a sky-blue suit with embroidered red cherry blossoms and a bird across the jacket and leg.
This floral suit was designed by Alexander McQueen, Vogue reported. Instead of his usual black boot or shoe, Chalamet opted for chunky red and white sneakers that retail for $590, also McQueen, which would become a style staple for the actor.
He put a twist on the monochrome trend with this slightly mismatched red suit and lighter red T-shirt at another "Beautiful Boy" premiere in October.
From head to toe, Chalamet was wearing a suit, shirt, and sneakers designed by the late Virgil Abloh during his time at Louis Vuitton, Fashionista reported.
Chalamet wore his most floral suit yet at the UK premiere of "Beautiful Boy" the next week.
This time, Chalamet's Alexander McQueen suit was black, and almost entirely covered in large, graphic roses. He paired the suit with a black V-neck shirt and square-toed Chelsea boots designed by Christian Louboutin.
One of Chalamet's most famous outfits is his all-black ensemble with a glittery black harness at the 2019 Golden Globes in January.
Louis Vuitton can call this accessory "an embroidered bib" all they want, but when Chalamet stepped on to the red carpet in this Louis Vuitton by Virgil Abloh design, the entire internet broke down: The "Call Me By Your Name" star was wearing a sparkling harness.
To attend the 2019 Critics' Choice Awards a few days later, Chalamet donned this suit that looks like a piece of modern art.
Chalamet, quickly declaring himself Alexander McQueen's No. 1 fan, wore another one of the brand's suits, Vogue reported; this time, a printed suit that almost looked like a watercolor painting.
He mixed prints at the 2019 BAFTA Awards in February in a silver printed jacket, matching shirt, and black pants with a red checkerboard design on the leg.
The whole look was designed by Chalamet favorite Haider Ackermann. The jacket sported unique lace cuffs.
He paired the bold look with a pair of lace-up black boots, breaking all black-tie, red-carpet fashion conventions.
He wore another metallic silver look, this time with a silver belt, cuffed pants, and a boat-neck silk panel at the Venice Film Festival premiere of "The King" in September 2019.
Of course Chalamet had to cuff the pants of this futuristic satin Haider Ackermann suit. How else were we to see the black cowboy boots he chose for the evening?
Bringing back his love of the night sky, Chalamet wore this glittering velvet hoodie reminiscent of a starry night at another screening of "The King" in October 2019.
Chalamet's Louis Vuitton hoodie, designed by Virgil Abloh, was covered in both sequins and Swarovski crystals: 15,000 sequins and 3,000 Swarovski crystals, to be exact, Vogue reported. It took more than 30 hours to complete.
Chalamet traveled around the globe to attend a screening of his film "The King" at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea a few days later. He wore a pair of paint-splattered overalls, a matching denim shirt, and giant white boots.
As Page Six reported, the actor's unique paint-splattered overalls were worth a cool $1,700, and were designed by the California-based label S.R. Studio. LA. CA. His space-ready boots were also designed by the same brand.
Chalamet stunned in an electric-blue look at the Australian premiere of "The King" on October 10.
This monochromatic outfit was designed by Haider Ackermann.
He did his best "Peaky Blinders" impression at the premiere of "Little Women" in December 2019.
Chalamet, who played Laurie in Greta Gerwig's adaptation of the famed novel, wore a matching pinstriped waistcoat and trousers, along with a striped white shirt and silver pocket chain, at the "Little Women" premiere. He almost looked straight out of a time machine in his Alexander McQueen fit.
Once again trying out the monochrome trend, Chalamet wore a magenta wool twill suit and silk shirt at the French premiere of "Little Women" a few days later.
Yes, Chalamet's Stella McCartney suit is another solid entry in his fashion canon, but all anyone could actually talk about was the little Eiffel Tower keychain he carried around in his hand.
Proving that real men wear pink, Chalamet wore this pastel-pink corduroy suit at the London premiere of "Little Women" on December 16.
As Nylon reported, Chalamet's pink suit, designed by Thom Browne, was made out of the coziest corduroy. He opted to rock a pair of limited-edition Prada x Adidas sneakers to complement the look.
His most metallic suit yet came at the Cannes screening of "The French Dispatch" in July 2021.
As usual, Chalamet stood out in a sea of black suits at the Cannes Film Festival in July 2021, this time by wearing a reflective Tom Ford suit paired with simple black sunglasses and white boots. As usual, he accessorized with multiple rings, bracelets, and earrings.
Chalamet brought those sunglasses to the Venice International Film Festival in September, along with a sequined black pullover and matching pants.
Chalamet shimmered in this Haider Ackermann outfit, along with a few pieces of Cartier jewelry, Teen Vogue reported, as he was named a Cartier ambassador around the same time.
To co-chair the 2021 Met Gala, Chalamet wore an asymmetrical white tuxedo jacket, white sweatpants, and Converse.
In a true fashion-icon move, Chalamet wore actual sweatpants and sneakers to the biggest night in fashion — an especially daring move as he was one of the night's co-chairs.
According to GQ, Chalamet spread the love around wearing many of his favorite designers: A satin Haider Ackermann tuxedo jacket, a Rick Owens turtleneck, a few Cartier brooches attached to his sweatpants, and, of course Chuck Taylors.
"Whenever I visit America, I am always struck by the wonderful clash of uptown and downtown cultures, of music and sports, and all of this energy just mixing together," designer Ackermann told Vogue.
He attended a photo-call ahead of the premiere of "Dune" in this blue patterned suit and matching shirt in October 2021.
In typical Chalamet fashion, there's more to this Stella McCartney suit than meets the eye. While it appears to be a floral pattern, if you look closely, you can see it's actually adorned with mushrooms.
For the official "Dune" premiere that week, he wore a black suit covered in zippers.
This unique look was designed by Alexander McQueen. As per usual, he styled the suit with a pair of Chelsea boots and Cartier jewelry.
The "Dune" star skipped a shirt at the 2022 Oscars, instead wearing a sequined black blazer and a low-hanging necklace on March 27.
Let's take a deep-dive into Chalamet's blazer. It was designed by Louis Vuitton, it's trimmed in lace, it seems to be cropped in the back, and is covered in a sequined pattern. Instead of a shirt, he chose two Cartier necklaces.
At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party later that evening, he changed into the leather and denim ensemble.
An Oscar after-party or an LA biker bar? Chalamet was dressed for either in this leather and denim Alexander McQueen motorcycle jacket and matching jeans.
