While his onscreen performances are surely striking, it's Timothée Chalemet's personal style that really has us captivated. The actor has come a long way in recent years, to rival method dressing connoisseurs Zendaya and Margot Robbie with his ability to emulate the theme of a film by what he graces the red carpet in. For Wonka, it was an emphasis on maroons and purples, with plenty of luxurious fabrics in the mix. For Dune, the actor leant futuristic, with a baby blue leather boiler suit, or a crisp white Gucci tux. And now, with A Complete Unknown, Timmy is really stepping into his own, bringing the essence of Bob Dylan back to with a series of sartorial slays.
His is one of the greatest fashionable evolutions to ever occur, and we've been lucky enough to witness the once-Beautiful Boy transform before our eyes into an enigmatic style savant. Unafraid to step outside the box of black tuxedos that the men of Hollywood were once confined to, you'll likely never see Timmy wear the same look twice. And now, his fashionable capabilities are receiving the acknowledgement they deserve, with Chalamet announced as the face of Chanel's Bleu De Chanel Fragrance.
Off the red carpet, Chalamet has garnered impressive and warranted hype for his street-style ensembles. His relaxed and relatable off-duty style has us acting feverish as he transforms to a form of normality we can relate and take guidance from.
We love a man that can do both, thats why we've pulled together a style file of some of our favourite looks in appreciation of 'Lil Timmy Tim.

Starting off strong with a custom Prada look and Cartier jewellery à la Bob Dylan for the premiere of A Complete Unknown. We're obsessed with the details on this look, from the badges on his leather jacket, to the shades (customised with Bic white-out, naturally).

Next up is Timmy's Alexander McQueen bibbed metallic Scarlett suit for the 2022 Venice film festival for Bones and All. Curiosity about his stylistic choice for this one may have been sparked, but his experimentation with the fluidity of fabrics and contemporary perspectives on traditional styles are to be applauded and be excited about.

Timothee Chalamet's style goes beyond the streets and red carpets and into his relationship. Kylie Jenner and himself have been seen wearing matching Cartier love jewellery pieces, and if that isn't a classy way to convey your love I don't know what is.

This incredible Alexander McQueen suit at the UK premiere of Beautiful Boy was another playful one from the house. The hair, the chains, his taste goes beyond the fabrics and nestles into the accessories. Perfection.

Finally, Chalamet's 2021 Met Gala look. A piece of his diverse style merged into one – Converse sneakers and sweatpants, a Rick Owens top and Haider Ackermann blazer. It doesn't get more Timmy than that.
