Timothée Chalamet is one rising star to watch, at least as far as the red carpet is concerned. From the start, the Wonka star has favored androgynous elegance, romance florals, and waist-cinching suits at movie premieres and press events. Even in a sea of gowns, Chalamet stands out—no small feat during red carpet fashion season. In fact, we think his designer ensembles are even more interesting than his personal life, although the internet might disagree with us on that one.
Whether he’s wearing a gorgeously tailored Alexander McQueen floral suit or scooping a chic womenswear look off the Tom Ford runway, Chalamet serves heaping portions of high fashion and all we can do is eat. Ahead, we've rounded up the best of the best of the Dune actor's designer ensembles. You're welcome, America.
CELINE HOMME by Hedi Slimane at the Golden Globes in 2024
For the 2024 Golden Globes, Chalamet opted for a glittering Celine Homme ensemble featuring tuxedo pants and Chelsea boots. He was the perfect match with his date for the evening: Kylie Jenner.
Prada at the "Wonka" Tokyo Premiere in 2023
On November 20, Chalamet donned pastel purple Prada separates for the Tokyo premiere of Wonka. The actor completed the look with white Bottega Venetta Chelsea boots and Cartier jewelry.
Tom Ford at the World Premiere of "Wonka" in 2023
If this red carpet look looks familiar, it's because the newest Mr. Wonka loves a fuchsia suit. The velvet tailored number he wore to the world premiere of Wonka is a variation on a cut and color the star has worn before.
Tom Ford in 2023
For the Paris premiere of Wonka, Chalamet wore a shimmering Tom Ford top straight off the SS24 Womenswear runway.
Prada at the Canadian "Wonka" Premiere in 2023
We love a dip-dye moment and Chalamet delivered with a beautifully tailored Prada suit that shifted from plaid to black at a fan screening of Wonka in November 2023.
Haider Ackermann at the 2022 Venice Film Festival

Louis Vuitton at the Academy Awards in 2022
The lacy Louis Vuitton jacket and trousers Chalamet wore to the 94th Academy Awards weren't the first womenswear pieces the actor had worn to a red carpet event, but they did mark a high point in his luxe and androgynous aesthetic. Moving forward, Chalamet would continue blurring the lines between masculine and feminine silhouettes and accessories.
Haider Ackerman at the 2021 Met Gala
For the 2021 Met Gala's theme, In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, Chalamet wore a cream Haider Ackerman jacket with relaxed Rick Owens pants and matching Converse sneakers. The vibe was equal parts black tie and, thanks to crew socks and slouchy silhouette, all-American boy.
Custom Stella McCartney in 2021
Chalamet's love of floral red carpet looks was in full bloom at a 2021 Dune photocall in London courtesy of a Stella McCartney suit in a custom print.
Tom Ford at the Cannes Film Festival in 2021
If he's not wearing luxe florals, Chalamet is wearing shimmering metallics. Case in point: the gold and silver, vaguely animal-printed Tom Ford suit he wore to the 74th annual Cannes Film Festival.
Prada at the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Chalamet often tends towards the formal or experimental for red carpet events, which makes the more relaxed Prada ensemble he wore to the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party so much of a treat. Because Chalamet is Chalamet, he sported a bit of bling via a vintage Cartier brooch.
Thom Browne in 2019
At a Little Women London event, Chalamet leaned into the film's romantic vibes with a pale petal pink Thom Browne suit and white Prada sneakers.
Stella McCartney in 2019
At the premiere of Little Women in Paris, Chalamet paired a Stella McCartney suit in one of his favorite shades of vibrant fuchsia with Haider Ackerman boots.
Louis Vuitton at the 2019 Golden Globes
Timothée wore an embellished bib by Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton at the 2019 Golden Globes.
Alexander McQueen at the UK "Beautiful Boy" Premiere in 2018
Chalamet's love of floral suits ranges from subtle accents to bold all-over prints, the latter of which was beautifully illustrated in the Alexander McQueen look the star scooped from the Fall 2018 Menswear runway.
Louis Vuitton at the L.A. Premiere of "Beautiful Boy" in 2018
Our fashion king stans a monochromatic moment as much as we stan his red carpet looks. The head-to-toe Louis Vuitton ensemble Chalamet wore to the L.A. premiere of Beautiful Boy was one of his best and brightest takes on single color dressing.
Alexander McQueen at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in 2018
Proving that romantic florals and chunky sneakers can be a match made in red carpet heaven, Chalamet wore both, courtesy of Alexander McQueen, to the 66th San Sebastian International Film Festival.
Saint Laurent at the 2018 BAFTAs
Chalamet doesn't always opt for subtle and understated suiting, but when he does it works. The Saint Laurent suit he wore to the 2018 BAFTAs might not be the flashiest look in his red carpet repertoire, but it's tailoring and textile details makes it stand out, nonetheless.
