Timothée Chalamet Is Tangled Up in Yellow at the Oscars

I’ll admit it: I was expecting Timothée Chalamet to wear the Bob Dylan outfit of all Bob Dylan outfits to the Oscars tonight. As the final bow of his A Complete Unknown press tour, I was expecting some grand homage to the musician, who Chalamet is nominated for portraying in the Best Actor category tonight. I was thinking there would be some Wayfarers, maybe even a turtleneck and a denim jacket. You know, the works. Instead, Chalamet showed up in something so much better; the Timothée Chalamet outfit of all Timothée Chalamet outfits.

In a butter yellow suit that marks Sarah Burton’s first custom menswear moment at Givenchy, Chalamet nailed his final bow of this awards season. The cropped, double-breasted leather jacket with a notch lapel, paired with matching trousers and a silk shirt, is perhaps the best monochrome outfit of the evening—and certainly the best use of the butter yellow trend that I’ve seen in the past few months. It’s Chalamet to the very core—contemporary, pleasantly surprising.

Chalamet has had some fun fashion moments for A Complete Unknown—he’s donned everything from a blonde wig and Old Navy beanie to a leather suit and neon green button-down. But really, it wasn’t until tonight, when Chalamet stepped out of Bob Dylan’s influence, that he stepped into his own. You can’t miss him on the carpet or in the crowd. I don’t want to jinx anything, but to me, he looks like a walking Oscar statue.

Down to every detail, this look is Chalamet’s pièce de résistance. Peep the Cartier jewelry, and the hint of his gold necklace peeking out from beneath the collar of his shirt. If this is the last time we see Chalamet on a red carpet until next awards season, it’s been a good run, and as Bob Dylan would say—the times, they are a-changin’.
