Timothee Chalamet in a nylon Prada ‘suit’ at the Oscars: mechanic realness?

Timothee Chalamet at arrivals for The 92...

Timothee Chalamet walked the red carpet at the Oscars like a boss – he was there to present, but also to represent Best Picture nominee Little Women. He… chose to wear this shiny nylon Prada ensemble for some reason. Yeah, I love him and everything and I like that he keeps it hipster and offbeat, but this is just… kind of disrespectful? I mean, there are other options besides “tuxedo” and “shiny mechanic’s uniform.” That being said, his cheekbones are everything and I’ve already seen some photos of him at the after-parties where he was basically sitting with an all-lady crew, because ladies love the Chalamet.

Tom & Lorenzo pointed out that Olivia Colman’s Stella McCartney gown sort of looks like Baby Yoda and now I can’t unsee it. See the eyes and the ears? It’s ridiculous and funny. That’s how I feel about Olivia in general – she can’t dress for sh-t, but she’s so funny and charming, I’ll forgive her weird fashion moments. Plus, if the worst thing we can say about her is that she wore a dress that reminded everyone of Baby Yoda, that’s money in the bank. Oscars = ABC = Disney = Baby Yoda. I’m convinced that she’s going to be part of a Star Wars movie or show now.

Here’s Julia Butters, the 10-year-old actress who got to do several scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio in OUATIH. She’s adorable and apparently she went to Christian Siriano and brought him the sketches SHE worked on for her Oscar dress, and he put together this custom look. It’s exactly the dress a 10-year-old would design for herself!! Also: she brought a turkey sandwich in her purse.

    I read some twitter post saying that Timothy Chalamet looks like a pointy Italian shoe that was turned into a real boy by a witch’s curse and that’s all I can think of looking at these photos.

  2. Snazzy says:

    OMG she designed her dress! This makes me love it more

  3. Rachel says:

    Timothy looked great! He is young and hip, and could pull off anything he wants to wear.

  4. horseandhound says:

    he’s a pretty boy. and a great actor.

  5. Ellie says:

    I didn’t like it. It’s the Oscars. If you don’t want to dress up then don’t go. I thought his outfit looked silly and kind of “I’m too cool to care…but look at me anyway.”

    • Eliza_ says:

      I agree. Looks like an updated Member’s Only Jacket. Way too casual for a black (or its it still white) tie event.

    • Another Anne says:

      Yeah, he usually has interesting style but he completely whiffed here. It’s completely the wrong event for that suit.

  6. Scal says:

    Chalamet looked like a EMT going to a fancy dress party. I get it’s Prada but it’s sill a tracksuit. Is it so hard to try?

    The 10 year old looks adorable

    • ChillyWilly says:

      Yes! I get EMT more than mechanic! It’s pretty silly looking but he’s young and trying to be hip and fresh so bless his heart, I guess?

    • BeanieBean says:

      Yeah, he just got off shift with no time to change.

  7. msd says:

    Timmy’s outfit made me giggle – and that’s a good thing. Not sure how it’s disrespectful? The Oscars are pretty silly overall.

    Olivia’s hair is … not good.

    • Erinn says:

      I don’t get it, either. He’s still neat and tidy looking. It’s not like it looks like he rolled out of bed and onto the red carpet. I don’t even think he looked bad at all.

      • Ellie says:

        I think it depends on your perspective on film and the Oscars. My time period of choice is the old stars of the 1940s, 1950s. I want people to dress like that. I prefer stars like Octavia Spencer. My word! She can dress! Dev Patel, too!

      • Erinn says:

        I mean, I get that. Everyone has different preference. But I don’t see how his outfit is being disrespectful.

      • Eliza_ says:

        It’s a black tie evening event and he’s wearing a track suit. It’s neat, but just as wearing a day wool suit would look out of place, so does his outfit.

      • Kristen says:

        His outfit is the same as if you showed up to a formal wedding in sweatpants; it’s not appropriate for the dress code of the event.

  8. girl_ninja says:

    Nah man. Timmy looked GOOD. He owned that red carpet last night🙌🏾

    • Pineapple says:

      Yah, I agree, he looked great. He’s YOUNG. I suspect some people reading don’t understand 24 anymore. XO Also, there was a man there dressed in golden feathers and a giant skirt, Elton in his colourful running shoes and crazy glasses … anything goes.

  9. Emily says:

    There really aren’t many options for men at award shows. Women have all these different looks and styles and men get to wear a bunch of similar looking suits, so good for Timothee. I enjoyed seeing something different.

  10. boobra says:

    give him platinum blonde hair, throw in Mad Eye Moody, et voila! Draco Malfoy – the amazing bouncing ferret!

  11. Mabs A'Mabbin says:

    I love Coleman. I’ve been watching her for so long, and she’s just always herself, quirky and lovable. She doesn’t have an eye for fashion, lol, but that’s part of her charm.

    Chalamet is going to get difficult to swallow for me lol. I need to ignore him for maybe a decade.

    • GreenTurtle says:

      She is just the most delightful woman. I love how daffy she is sometimes. I cannot believe how much I viscerally despised her character in Fleabag, but still squee when I see pictures of Olivia in literally any other context.
      And I’m with you on Timmee. I can’t with this kid.

  12. Anname says:

    He is rapidly approaching the Jennifer Lawrence- type tipping point. He’s the hottest thing going, and then it becomes too much and the backlash starts.

    I like him and he’s obviously super talented, but this outfit doesn’t work for me at all. There’s no way to get past the fatal flaw of looking exactly like a valet.

  13. Jerusha says:

    I am one of the ladies who loves the Chalamet and I’m always curious to see what twist he brings to his clothing choice. And if you want to talk disrespectful I think it was disrespectful when the Academy awarded Gary Oldman’s make-up Best Actor in 2018 instead of Timothee’s beautiful performance in Call Me By Your Name. His final credits scene was better than anything in The Darkest Hour. Was the Academy making up for not giving Oldman the Oscar he deserved for tinker Tailor Soldier Spy?

  14. BW says:

    Hey, his suit has tuxedo stripes up the sides, soooo there’s that. Plus, back when the tuxedo was invented, it caused a huge scandal because it didn’t have tails.

    I love that the little girl designed her own dress, but she brought it to a designer to make. It doesn’t look like it was sewn well or fitted well. Surely, the designer could have made it better.

  15. Kelly says:

    He looks terrible but I appreciate seeing a man wear different things on the red carpet.

  16. SJR says:

    I like the little pink purse very much. I have no place to go with such a purse, I still want it.

    TC is this years JLo, in 3-5 years they will both be has beens.

  17. Lala11_7 says:

    Julia Butters continues the LONG STANDING Hollywood tradition of:

    Shirley Temple
    Peggy Ann Garner
    Virginia Weidler
    Elizabeth Taylor
    Jodie Foster
    Laurence Fishburne
    Kim Fields
    Jenna Malone
    Megan Good
    Anna Paquin
    Kristen Stewart

    These are children who showed up on the movie and television screen and displayed such a MASTERY of acting…that they made me FORGET that they were children!

  18. ME says:

    Timothee at least did something fun and took a risk. Most of the men just do the same old boring black tux. He’s young, let him have fun. This kid is an amazing actor. I have watched CMBYN countless times. He is so good in that movie ! I also heard he’s a really nice guy, which is refreshing.

  19. MellyMel says:

    Another lady here who loves Timmy! He’s gorgeous (the bone structure!!) and I seriously love his taste in fashion. Apparently he doesn’t use a stylist which if you look at his press/red carpet looks (which I think are amazing), makes him even cooler. Oh and Julia is so good in OUATIH. I can’t wait to see what she does next.

    • ME says:

      I don’t remember what red carpet it was but he actually wore a t-shirt a fan made for him. How sweet.

  20. Naddie says:

    I liked his suit, it’s different.
    Julia represents me in her lovely dress and the always in handy food. Whenever you go to a ceremony, or any event where there’s no food around, you just gotta do this.

  21. Sass says:

    I want to punch Timothee in the face. He’s part of Greta’s Gang.

    Julia is so cute. I want to hug her.

  22. Laura says:

    If I was still in high school I’d totally have pictures of Timothee taped up in my locker.

  23. Jessica Belcher says:

    Yep…. I see Baby Yoda all day!!!!

  24. Trillian says:

    Don’t get this Timothee obsession at all. The shoe comparison made me laugh, that is in fact a very sweet way to put it. I think he looks like a ferret. Just totally unattractive. And that outfit makes him look like a wannabe street thug.

  25. Tiffany says:

    Lainey called it the Scott Disick look and that is all I see now.

  26. Normades says:

    Who was in his lady crew? I’m not surprised, I don’t find him hot but I do stan the young man.

  27. Amelie says:

    Timothee is so beautiful to look at and if I were 10 years younger I’d probably have a huge crush. He’s French-American like me so we have that in common (I do speak French better than he does though, I’ve listened to his French interviews to compare and he’s very good but often struggles in ways I don’t, I can’t explain it). I was hoping to see Lily-Rose Depp with him because the last time I heard they were dating. But yeah his outfit is pretty dumb, he reminds me of a race car driver.

    Olivia Colman’s outfit isn’t too bad actually and she had one of the funniest moments of the night when she alluded to all the “fun” she had last year with her husband. Her personality is so fun.

    Julia looks so cute though at 10, I’m not sure I would have designed a dress like this for myself lol. Even at that age I wanted to disappear when people stared at me so I probably would have a black/navy blue boring dress on. It’ll be fun to see her fashion evolve.

  28. Thin Mint says:

    Well, Timmy must be doing something right- he gained 200k Insta followers overnight. I liked his tongue-in-cheek look, personally.

  29. Lili says:

    Am I the only one who doesn’t find him hot or pretty?

    • GreenTurtle says:

      No, I don’t find him attractive either, and he looks really young and kind of delicate/femme to me. It’s not an insult, by any means. It just is. He’s not my cup of tea.

    • Another Anne says:

      He’d fit right in with a high school freshman class. Nope.

  30. John Radulski says:

    Sexiest look on the carpet: He’s great looking, acts comfortable in this Prada, is a previous Oscar nominee for “Call Me…” and seems like a fun guy. I thought, though, he was auditioning for “Ford vs Ferrari 2: Pit Master.”

  31. Bread and Circuses says:

    Someone called this look “Gas Station Vampire” and I cannot un-see it.

  32. Nan says:

    Ten-year old in me absolutely approves that dress! Really happy for her 🙂
