Cannes Coup: Kylie Jenner & Timothée Chalamet’s Stunning Red Carpet Debut
Hold onto your stilettos: Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet chose the Cannes red carpet to formalize their public coupling, because why would a billionaire beauty mogul and a brooding actor settle for private dinner dates? On May 17, 2024, the duo sashayed into the premiere of Dune: Part Two, giving pap-wielding photographers the romantic shot they’ve been salivating over (People Magazine captured every inch of her custom Givenchy gown, complete with a thigh-high slit that doubled as metaphoric relationship transparency). Sure, nothing says “power couple” like a $50,000 dress crashing into a hand-me-down Dior tux; it’s practically modern art—right down to those sequins that scream “I’m taken, but also fashionably alone.”
Timothée, often praised by Vogue for his understated style, contrasted Jenner’s dramatic flair with a classic black tuxedo and patent leather loafers, reinforcing his ongoing commitment to looking like he stepped out of a ’90s menswear ad. He clasped Jenner’s hand just long enough to demonstrate real affection—or at least well-rehearsed social compliance. E! News gushed about their chemistry on the red carpet, suggesting that between her lip kits and his Oscar buzz, they might actually be the perfect promotional package for each other’s brand expansions.
Their synchronized wave to fans earned a collective “aw” across social media platforms, though the silent judgment of armchair commentators was palpably louder. Jenner’s minimal makeup and sleek bun (hailed by Harper’s Bazaar as “the epitome of silent confidence”) signaled that she’s done playing with color palettes—her relationship status is now strictly neutrals. Meanwhile, Chalamet’s slightly tousled hair leaned into his signature “I haven’t been told what to do today” vibe, because real romance apparently thrives on hydrating creams and bedhead.
In an exclusive for People, Jenner admitted the red carpet felt “natural” and “fun,” which surely translates to “we’ll post it, but only after our stylists give the green light.” Chalamet, chatting with The Hollywood Reporter, praised Kylie’s “fashion fearlessness,” code for “I’m raiding her closet next.” Vogue chimed in that Jenner’s gown “redefined modern glamour,” while E! News noted Chalamet’s tux was “sleek, simple, and very him”—translation: approved by a committee of one. Tune in next time for more choreographed PDA and runway-ready relationship milestones—because if you’re going to date in public, you might as well make it a production.
Well, there you have it: the latest exhibit in haute couture matchmaking. Let’s pretend we learned something today.
