Timothée Chalamet’s Rise to Fashion Icon

Timothée Chalamet is undoubtedly the modern fashion king. From harnesses and silk shirts to sequined sweatshirts, Chalamet has truly pushed the envelope. He has bent the rules that many men in the entertainment industry traditionally follow, helping to usher in an androgynous era of modern menswear. 

Dull, black, and boring are out. Florals and gender-neutral pieces are in! There’s even an Instagram account dedicated to showcasing his insanely covetable personal style and red carpet looks. Chalamet is known for never working with a stylist on any of his looks, so it’s important to note that this is not a list of looks someone else picked for him from a rack of clothes.

Here’s a timeline of how our favorite “Internet Boyfriend” has established himself in the fashion game.

Throwing it all the way back to 2013, our favorite French boy was only 18. Chalamet is at his first SAG Awards for his role in Homeland.

Clothing: Unknown, but probably from his personal closet.

Chalamet, still a baby, is only 19 years old. He’s at the premiere of Men Women and Children in 2014 with our other favorite LaGuardia high school alumni, Ansel Elgort.

Clothing: Unknown, but we love a cute lil striped turtleneck!

Fast forward just a bit. Chalamet is here attending the premiere of Call Me By Your Name at the Berlin Film Festival in 2017.

Clothing: Wearing a beautiful shade of eggplant suede jacket with black jeans and shirt by Berluti.

At the 2018 Film Independent Spirit Awards, Chalamet turned heads showing up notoriously casual to the red carpet. He also iconically apologized to the wet floor when he accepted his award. Comedians John Mulaney and Nick Kroll joked that Chalamet looked like a gas station attendant, which isn’t untrue, but we love the look nevertheless!

Clothing: Wearing an Off-White plain white dress shirt and Saint Laurent white sneakers.

Chalamet is seen at the 2018 Academy Awards, as the youngest nominee for Best Actor in 80 years, for his debut titular role in Call Me By Your Name.

In Busan, South Korea, Chalamet attends the press junket for The King. Classic, “I went to art-school” guy. Also, he’s wearing lip gloss which is the most amazing thing to come from the press tour.

For the promotion of Little Women, Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan decided to wear androgynous looks, similar to how director Greta Gerwig had the costumes in the movie style. Chalamet wears more feminine clothing to offset Saoirse’s masculine pieces.

Clothing: Marc Jacobs necktie and Edeltrud Hoffman silk pussy-bow blouse.

In true Chalamet fashion, the Internet’s French boyfriend attended ComplexCon to introduce his hero and now best friend Kid Cudi with a poem. Seen here with fellow attendee Ben Baller.
