Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet and reality TV mogul Kylie Jenner have once again set tongues wagging with a sartorial statement, stepping out in strikingly similar all-red ensembles amidst ongoing speculation about the state of their relationship.
Scarlet Statements in New York and LA
Just one day after Jenner, 28, commanded attention in a figure-hugging red PVC latex dress at an OBB Media holiday party in West Hollywood, her boyfriend Chalamet, 29, was spotted in New York on Monday in a remarkably coordinated look. The Dune actor opted for a bold all-red leather Givenchy outfit, complete with a jacket, trousers, and boots featuring orange soles, accessorised with thin silver-framed glasses.
His appearance also showcased a new, shorter haircut, adopted for his upcoming role as Paul Atreides in Dune: Part Three. Jenner's own scarlet dress on Saturday, described as 'cringeworthy' by some outlets, highlighted her famous curves as she attended the festive gathering, which has previously hosted celebrities like Bad Bunny and her sister Kendall Jenner.
A United Front Amidst Rumour Mill
These latest appearances come hot on the heels of the couple's very public display of unity earlier this month. They walked the red carpet together at the premiere of Chalamet's new film, Marty Supreme, in Los Angeles, dressed in synchronised neon orange outfits. The joint appearance was particularly notable given that, just weeks prior, an insider had told the Daily Mail that the actor had ended the relationship.
"They cool down and they heat up," the source claimed, suggesting the pair were in a "cool-down cycle" before the premiere. The very public display, followed by a supportive Instagram post from Jenner's mother, Kris, wearing Marty Supreme merchandise, seemed designed to quash the breakup talk.
A Carefully Managed Romance
Chalamet and Jenner, first linked in April 2023, have navigated their high-profile romance with notable discretion. Despite going public with a passionate kiss at a Beyoncé concert that September, they have largely kept their relationship off social media. Jenner has refrained from mentioning Chalamet by name on her family's Hulu show, The Kardashians.
In a recent Vogue profile, Chalamet flatly refused to discuss the romance, stating, "I will not talk about it... I don’t say that with any fear, I just don’t have anything to say." Reports have suggested this privacy is partly because Chalamet wishes to be regarded primarily as a serious actor.
Nevertheless, the couple haven't shied away from being seen together at high-profile events:
- They made their first official red carpet appearance in May at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome.
- Jenner has accompanied him to events like the Oscars and Golden Globes, though she has sometimes joined him after the red carpet to keep the focus on his work.
- They are frequently spotted at New York Knicks basketball games, a passion of Chalamet's.
The pair, who reportedly first met at Nobu Malibu in 2019, continue to captivate the public and media alike, with their fashion choices and carefully managed public appearances fuelling constant discussion about their relationship status.
