Timothée Chalamet Brings Slacker Style to Cannes

The actor, who is attending the film festival in support of Wes Anderson’s ‘The French Dispatch,’ is bringing cool and casual style to the Croisette.

This week, Timothée Chalamet fans the world over rejoiced as he made his first red carpet appearance in over a year. It helped, of course, that he did so in the slickest of style. Attending the premiere of his latest film, Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch, on Monday, Chalamet posed with his co-star Tilda Swinton in a dazzling metallic Tom Ford suit paired with a crisp shirt and white leather boots. As the festival continues, Chalamet has been embracing his more casual side, if always with his signature Timothée twist. 

Attending a photocall yesterday morning, he opted for a T-shirt from cult film production company Elara and loose black trousers tucked into a pair of sturdy, above-the-ankle Bottega Veneta boots. Alongside Wes Anderson’s preppy seersucker tailoring, Swinton’s razor-sharp Haider Ackermann pantsuit, and Bill Murray’s dadcore paisley short-sleeve shirt, this delightful hodge-podge of looks felt like the perfect reflection of each personality: Chalamet’s, of course, being the streetwear-loving New York City kid.

Finally, while attending a Louis Vuitton dinner at Fred L’Ecailler restaurant last night, Chalamet completed his trifecta of playful looks with a Virgil Abloh-designed, vintage-inspired track jacket in an eye-popping shade of teal that nodded to classic slacker style. His accessories, a bright blue leather messenger bag and a pair of floral-print sneakers, continued this kaleidoscopic theme (though he opted for a more subdued black shirt and trousers to round out the look). Chalamet might know how to turn out a killer red carpet tailoring moment, but his laid-back style moments can be just as fun too.
