Here are some photos from last night’s LA premiere of A Complete Unknown, the authorized Bob Dylan biopic for Dylan’s early years. Timothee Chalamet plays the young Dylan, with Elle Fanning playing a version of Suze Rotolo (Dylan’s girlfriend in the ‘60s). Monica Barbaro plays Joan Baez, Edward Norton plays Pete Seeger and Boyd Holbrook plays Johnny Cash. As the critics’ awards are coming out, I’ve been pleasantly surprised to see that Norton and Fanning are getting a lot of love. It seems like there’s a real strength in the supporting performances, and obviously, people are excited to see Chalamet’s Dylan.
Fashion notes: Elle wore a custom Gucci look and she did a really great, retro hairstyle. She’s giving Brigitte Bardot or Barbarella. It’s great on her. Monica Barbaro wore Armani. It feels like Elle wanted to theme-dress with a 1960s look and Monica just wanted to wear a pretty Armani dress. Timothee wore a leather jacket and Bob Dylan pins.
As a long-time awards-season watcher, I haven’t felt like the cast of A Complete Unknown has been everywhere, promoting this for months. Now that the film is being released soon, suddenly all of the critics are like: yeah, of course this film will get a lot of major nominations. They’re saying Timothee could actually win Best Actor for it. To which I say… maybe? The Academy f–king loves a musical biopic. Jamie Foxx, Reese Witherspoon and Rami Malek all won lead-acting Oscars for musical biopics.
Also: Timmy’s girlfriend Kylie Jenner did not attend the premiere.

Love that look on Elle and the 60s vibe in general. Time for a revival!
Sorry, it’s not flattering. It completely washes her out. She looks like a ghost. I do love the retro hair and makeup, though.
According to deuxmoi Kylie and Kris Jenner were at the premier
Gorgeous! I love her hairstyle.
Love Boyd!!!! This makes me want to watch the film now!
