With his ‘Beautiful Boy’ press tour, Timothée Chalamet proves himself a celebrity style savant

Behind most of the great red carpet looks of yesterday and today is a stylist. Jennifer Lopez’s green silk chiffon Versace dress for the 2000 Grammy Awards was courtesy of then-stylist Andrea Lieberman. Lupita Nyong’o deployed stylist Micaela Erlanger for her 2014 sky blue Prada dress worn the night she picked up her first Oscar. Lady Gaga’s pink Maison Valentino at the A Star Is Born Venice Film Festival debut was courtesy of Sandra Amador and Tom Eerebout.

But for Hollywood darling Timothée Chalamet, despite remarkably styled looks on recent red carpet and talk show appearances, a stylist just isn’t in the cards.

In a February interview with Frank Ocean via VMan, Chalamet admitted just this, telling the crooner that being involved “with fashion has been really fun, just as a fan. I don’t want to work with a stylist or anything. I’ve been following designers like Raf, Haider Ackermann, Hedi Slimane — these guys are like rock stars. They’re artists.”

As a fanboy of such artists, Chalamet has opted to self-style himself in their likeness, and to great sartorial effect. Despite Chalamet favoring suits, it wasn’t until recently that tailoring became such a principal of his aesthetic.
