Timothée Chalamet stepped onto the 97th Annual Academy Awards red carpet in a custom Givenchy look designed by Sarah Burton, signaling a fresh direction for the storied house. The butter yellow leather double-breasted cropped jacket with a sharp notch lapel was paired with matching trousers and a silk shirt. The streamlined silhouette played off Chalamet’s laid-back attitude, while the color choice highlighted his instinct for pushing formalwear boundaries.
Sarah Burton’s involvement marked a notable departure from her previous projects, adding a tailored edge to the brand’s recent experiments in modern suiting. Givenchy, known for its heritage craftsmanship, has been courting a younger demographic with subtle tweaks to its iconic codes, and this collaboration underscores its evolving ethos. Chalamet, nominated for Best Actor for “A Complete Unknown,” embodied that seamless fusion of high fashion and forward thinking.
His presence on the carpet felt electric. Chalamet is no stranger to a new wave of red-carpet dressing, and tonight he proved that there’s power in sleek, singular statements—especially when they’re executed with the quiet confidence he carries so well.
