Timothée Chalamet Goes Backless in Venice

There’s nothing in men’s clothing quite like a Timothée Chalamet commercial. At 26, he’s one of our best young actors and certainly one of the most committed. go for it, sartorially speaking. And moving on, he did on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival, marking the premiere of his new film. Bones and all in a sleeveless, backless, scarf, top, and bright red pants that look from his best friend Haider Ackerman. It’s the whole look and everything we’ve come to expect from the Timothée Chalamet™ Red Carpet Experience: bold, fun, attention-grabbing and never taking yourself too seriously.

His formal look doesn’t depend on casual attire: recall that he won an Oscar in a glittering black Louis Vuitton women’s coat. And Turn off tapestry, he’s leaning on what our Samuel Hine calls his “post-swag era,” in which our star “looks more like a Gallatin student on a hungry bread run” is an attractive movie star. Even with the current premiere in the rearview, we have a feeling this won’t be the only wild TC skins we’re getting from Venice. Keep your eyes wide open.
