Timothée Chalamet Makes the Case for Men’s Jewelry at Venice Film Festival

At today’s Venice Film Festival Dune premiere, Chalamet unveiled his new role as Cartier’s latest Friend of the House.

While this year’s Venice Film Festival lineup feels stacked to the brim as it is, few movies have attracted the same feverish anticipation as Denis Villeneuve’s spectacular new adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic Dune. It’s not just the film itself that is garnering buzz, however, but also those looking to see what its stars, Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya—both known for being among the most stylish dressers in Hollywood—would take to the red carpet wearing for its premiere tonight.

Thankfully, Chalamet more than delivered, arriving at the grand setting of the Palazzo del Cinema on the Venice Lido in a killer Haider Ackermann look featuring a razor-sharp power shouldered top and trousers covered in black crystals. Yet equally striking as the sleek outfit were the Cartier rings and bracelet he chose to wear, as well as a vintage brooch he attached to his sleeve for an offbeat final touch. It followed the vintage Cartier brooches he wore pinned to his Haider Ackermann hoodie during the press conference earlier today. Both vintage pieces—one a sword-like pin from 1913 and the other an Art Deco-inspired white gold and diamond beetle from 1999—the designs bear an uncanny resemblance to the aesthetic world of Dune itself. It served as the perfect entrée to today’s announcement that Chalamet will be the legendary French jewelry maison’s latest Friend of the House.
