We still have a full week before Christmas, but Timothée Chalamet is running free Completely anonymous The press tour continues to deliver gift after gift of the odd and delightful. First, there was College game day Timmy, who paired Martine Rose’s sparkling jacket with a surprisingly elite grid analysis. There was BeyBlade Timmy, who mysteriously grabbed an early Japanese toy on the red carpet of the Hollywood premiere of his Bob Dylan biopic without any explanation. There was Modern Day Dylan Cosplay Timmywho appeared at the New York premiere in a head-to-toe replica of the look Dylan wore at Sundance in 2003 – the inevitable FeverqueenEileen Carter made a prediction 16 months ago! -With a bleached blonde fringe peeking out from the bottom of a knit beanie.
And today, happiest of all, we have Tim-Guate Chalamet. (Sorry.)
Yes, barely two weeks after Jacob Elordi caused a veritable Twitter civil war by unveiling Michael McDonald’s itchy-looking beard, Chalamet responded with facial hair…option His own. In the midst of the controversy surrounding the Elordi beard, I called up two top barbers in an attempt to better understand why the internet is so divided over it. I can say now with certainty that I won’t need any expert commentary to diagnose the problem with Chalamet’s beard. It’s the kind of patchy bush that only weed dealers in the Wendy’s parking lot and college sophomores dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow to their Halloween party have. It’s the soul vamp that suddenly felt insecure and crawled down to hide under the chin. It’s…not true. However, in the manner of his beloved predecessor Brad Pitt in the mid-2000s Bearded Age Lost in the WoodsI’m sorry to report that Chalamet is ethereally beautiful enough to make her look very close good.
The same could be said for the rest of his outfit on this particular occasion, which I was too distracted by the goatee to mention that it was a BFI event in London hosted by Chalamet’s Lady Bird and Little women Star Saoirse Ronan. He was wearing a boxy, leather jacket over an untucked yellow oxford shirt and baggy, flowing trousers—the typical messy, post-swag Timmy ensemble that only he could pull off.
