How to get Timothée Chalamet’s daring Met Gala look: the Dune actor paired a designer tux jacket and Cartier pin with casual Converse Chuck Taylors and Rick Owens sweatpants
- After a celebrated fashion turn with Tilda Swinton in Cannes, the Academy Award nominee went with homey Haider Ackermann in New York City
- Co-chair for the night, the 25-year-old gave a nod to Gen Z with his high-fashion-meets-high-street look – here’s how to recreate the minimalist white outfit yourself
Adhering to this year’s theme of “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion”, the 25-year-old opted to source most of his look from home-grown designers, topped off with some French refinement.
The all-white ensemble featured a satin tuxedo jacket with contrasting black lapels, worn on top of a white polo neck by American designer Rick Owens. The refreshing and minimalist white jacket was created by French designer Haider Ackermann, long-time dressmaker for Chalamet’s big moments.
The daring parts of his outfit were the Rick Owens sweatpants and Converse Chuck Taylor trainers – items often reserved for casual weekends rather than the red carpet, but the Dune actor pulled it off with grace. He also wore a 1928 vintage Cartier Cliquet pin and a star brooch for a touch of luxury.
Combining high fashion with high street – a nod to Gen Z as a co-chair of the night – the outfit was touted for being Met Gala-appropriate yet fit for more everyday occasions too.
Here’s how to achieve the dapper Chalamet look …
