Kylie Jenner's 'natural' look is receiving widespread praise after a new photograph of her enjoying a night out with boyfriend Timothee Chalamet surfaced online this week. Earlier this month, Chalamet, 30, treated Jenner, 28, to a Mother's Day dinner at Dulan's Soul Food Kitchen in Inglewood, California.
Following their meal, the couple happily posed for a photograph with a staff member of the restaurant, which was subsequently posted to Dulan's Soul Food Kitchen's Instagram account on Monday. Fans expressed astonishment at seeing Jenner deviate from her typically glamorous appearance, as she opted for a simple white tank top, denim jeans, and flip flops for the evening out with Chalamet.
Jenner, who has previously acknowledged undergoing breast augmentation, lip fillers, and Botox injections, also appeared to be wearing minimal or no makeup. One Reddit user commented, 'She looks so… normal? It's so refreshing.' Another added, 'Wow she looks like a normal girl here!' Several observers remarked on how 'pretty' Jenner looked without the assistance of her expensive glam squad, which typically includes a makeup artist, hair stylist, and several assistants.
Many speculated that Jenner's relationship with Chalamet has had a positive influence on her self-esteem, allowing her to feel more comfortable in her own skin. One fan noted, 'She seems very happy and more comfortable / like herself.' On Dulan's Soul Food Kitchen's post, the restaurant expressed gratitude to Jenner and Chalamet for 'joining us on Mother's Day and enjoying some handmade Southern-style comfort food,' adding that they appreciated the couple's visit.
Like Jenner, Chalamet also dressed casually for their Mother's Day date in Inglewood, which is nearly 30 miles away from Jenner's $60 million Hidden Hills mansion. He wore camouflage pants, a long-sleeve top, sneakers, and a baseball cap over his shaggy brunette hair. Notably absent from their outing were Jenner's two children—daughter Stormi, eight, and son Aire, four—whom she shares with her ex-boyfriend Travis Scott, 35.
Jenner began dating Chalamet in April 2023, just months after her split from Scott, with whom she had an on-and-off relationship from 2017 to 2022. The reality star has sparked intense speculation regarding her changing appearance and has admitted to undergoing breast implant surgery and using fillers. The couple went public later that year but did not make their red carpet debut until May 2025 at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards, where Chalamet was being honored. Before that, Jenner had attended the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars as Chalamet's date but did not walk the red carpet with him.
Jenner has continued to accompany Chalamet at nearly all of his high-profile award show appearances. At the 2026 Critics Choice Awards in January, Chalamet publicly declared his love for Jenner during his acceptance speech. 'I'll just say thank you to my partner of three years,' he gushed, as Jenner blew a kiss back at him. 'Thank you for our foundation,' he continued. 'I love you. I couldn't do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.' She has also joined her A-list boyfriend at countless basketball games featuring his favorite team, the New York Knicks.
However, Jenner attended the 2026 Met Gala alone earlier this month, wearing a shocking flesh-colored Schiaparelli gown with a nipple-teasing bodice. On social media, Chalamet did not address his absence from the Met Gala, instead posting a picture of his baby blue Adidas Samba sneakers while sitting courtside at a Knicks game that same night. While some TikTok users praised the actor's move as relatable, others expressed frustration, stating that Chalamet should have been by his girlfriend's side. One user opined, 'He never supports Kylie when it's about her, but she always supports him.' This marks the second consecutive year that Chalamet has skipped the Met Gala to watch the Knicks.
