Kylie Jenner Makes Surprise BAFTAs Appearance with Timothee Chalamet
Kylie Jenner offered fans a glimpse of her glamorous BAFTAs ensemble after unexpectedly attending the prestigious ceremony alongside her boyfriend, actor Timothee Chalamet, on Sunday. The 28-year-old makeup mogul showcased her stunning vintage Thierry Mugler gown in a series of Instagram posts, having traveled to the United Kingdom specifically for the awards event.
A Red Carpet Absence and Audience Presence
Interestingly, Kylie opted not to walk the red carpet with Timothee, instead being spotted seated proudly beside him in the audience. This decision allowed her to support her partner discreetly while still making a fashion statement. Despite being the favourite to win Best Actor for his role in Marty Supreme, Timothee missed out on the award, which went to Robert Aramayo for his performance in I Swear.
Fashion Details and Glamour Shots
Kylie highlighted her curves in the form-fitting Thierry Mugler dress from 1999, sharing snaps taken in her hotel room. With the assistance of her glam squad, she accentuated her ample cleavage in the gown, which featured oversized diamante detailing on the bodice. The influencer also promoted her billion-dollar makeup brand by posting a pared-back image showcasing the products used to achieve her BAFTAs look, alongside a fun video emphasizing her eye-catching cleavage.
Timothee's Distracted Demeanor and Relationship Insights
Despite his nomination, Timothee appeared less engaged with the ceremony itself, as he was seen texting on his phone multiple times. The Dune star received messages from a friend, including a meme of himself wearing the bold orange suit from the Marty Supreme premiere in Los Angeles last December. He later scrolled through his iMessages while chatting with Kylie, who wowed in a plunging black gown with silver jewelled detailing. The couple, who have been dating for over three years and already live together, are reportedly considering marriage, according to a Daily Mail source.
Awards Upset and Host's Awkward Jokes
Timothee's predicted win streak, following triumphs at the Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globes last month, ended abruptly with Robert Aramayo's shock victory, which also saw him beat out Leonardo DiCaprio. Meanwhile, viewers noted Kylie visibly squirming during an awkward joke by host Alan Cumming, who handed out 'very British snacks' to audience members. While Timothee received Scampi Fries, Kylie was given a giant Jammie Dodger, with Cumming asking, 'Kylie, have you ever had your gums around a giant Jammie Dodger?'
Social Media Reaction and Cultural Clash
Kylie politely accepted the snack with a muttered 'Thank you,' but the innuendo-laden joke left her uncomfortable, sparking criticism from viewers on X who called the presenter's remarks 'cringe' and 'awkward.' This incident follows a year where Kylie was deemed the 'butt of so many jokes' during awards season, often due to her reality star background mingling with Hollywood elites—a perception she seemed to have shaken this year. After her confused reaction to the iconic biscuit, X users quickly commented, with posts ranging from amusement at the cultural clash to critiques of the ceremony's prestige.
Overall, the BAFTAs night blended high fashion, awards drama, and social awkwardness, highlighting the couple's high-profile presence and the unpredictable nature of live events.
