The self-proclaimed King of the red carpet, Timothée Chalamet is much more than just a Hollywood actor and over the years he has firmly established his place as a fashion trailblazer turning heads every time he steps onto the red carpet.
The move is a refreshing break from the classic black tux—and with his nonchalant demeanor and infamous messy hairstyle, Chalamet is paving a new way for never-before-seen, out-of-the-box style.
A brief overview
The Power of Collaboration
Chalamet is “very involved” in laying out his red carpet persona, collaborating with stylists to create a unique fashion persona for every appearance. Among his most referenced collaborations, Ryan Hastings has worked with him for years and crafted many of his most remembered looks.
They have together completely changed the face of menswear and frequently collaborate with high-end fashion houses to create custom, statement looks.
Breaking the Mould: All-Courageous Fashion
There is just no holding Chalamet back when it comes to fashion. Take his Haider Ackermann red halter top at the 2022 Venice Film Festival, or the sleek suit worn to the Dune premiere in London.
These aren’t so much outfits as statements of intent. He’s creating a new type of red carpet look, one that includes traditionally feminine pieces but is all tailored for men, and thus blurring the boundaries of what menswear is and what traditional tailoring looks like.
Confidence is the Best Accessory – Ever

But what really differentiates Chalamet is how naturally he can ooze confidence. He has the rare ability to wear even the most avant-garde ensembles and makes it look as if it were designed especially for him.
He never seems concerned (not that it should be) about how to pull off moves that could so easily come off as either prissy or moronic, and his ability to do so with calm confidence makes him perhaps the most interesting style icon of his generation.

The Future of Men’s Fashion
When it comes to the evolution of menswear on the red carpet, no one has had a bigger impact than Timothée Chalamet, who has become a one-man catalyst for pushing the envelope creatively and directionally when it comes to letting loose and what suits up looks like.
He’s not just taking part in the continual evolution of fashion—he’s forging it. Using color, texture, and cutting-edge design, he’s encouraging people everywhere to do away with tradition, step away from uniformity, and rethink stale ideas of menswear.
