Could Timothée Chalamet be Kylie Jenner’s next stylist?
The “Kardashians” star, 25, hit the Met Gala 2023 red carpet Monday wearing a fiery red gown by Haider Ackermann for Jean Paul Gaultier, with the look’s dramatic train doing double duty as a contrast-colored robe.
It wasn’t the only Ackermann-designed outfit she slipped on that night; later in the evening, Jenner donned a waist-cinching, off-the-shoulder black gown to dance the night away.
And while the makeup mogul was recently named the new face of the French fashion brand, her choice of designer could be a nod to her budding relationship with Timothée Chalamet.
While the “Dune” star was noticeably absent from the fabulous fête — despite filming a Chanel commercial in NYC just weeks prior — he has a long history with Ackermann, having worn his designs to several big events in the past.
Most notably, Chalamet, 27, rocked a white satin Ackermann jacket with Rick Owens sweatpants and Converse sneakers at the 2021 Met Gala and turned heads in a backless red halter top at the 2022 Venice Film Festival.
The New Yorker is also fond of a particular particular pair of Haider Ackermann boots that he has worn on numerous occasions.
The two first linked up in 2017, when Chalamet was preparing for his “Call Me By Your Name” press tour and Ackermann was designing for luxury brand Berluti; the star later wore a white Ackermann-designed tuxedo to his first-ever Oscars that year.
In fact, nearly all of Chalamet’s most beloved looks have stemmed from his relationship with the Colombian designer.
“It’s a dialogue with Timothée — not many words are needed. We understand one another like old souls — people with the same sensibilities always find one another,” he told British GQ in 2021.
Ackermann, who took the reins for a guest collection at Jean Paul Gaultier earlier this year, could actually have played a pivotal role in the blossoming relationship between Chalamet and Jenner; the two were spotted chatting at the brand’s couture runway show in February before sparking dating rumors.
“My big bro’s show was extraordinary,” the actor wrote on Instagram after the show, while Jenner posted her own photos praising her “@jeanpaulgaultier familyyyyy.”
While a source told Pvnew that Jenner and Chalamet are just having “fun” and their relationship is “new and exciting” and “not serious,” we’re hoping for more high-fashion crossovers in their future.
