Star Power Syncs in Rome: Kylie & Timothée’s Red Carpet Playbook
Brace yourself for a masterclass in mutual stardom enhancement: Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet rolled into the David Di Donatello Awards in Rome on May 7, 2025, because apparently showing up separately just wasn’t enough. Jenner, fresh off a beauty empire expansion, floated down the red carpet in a custom Dior Haute Couture gown—pale lavender silk, corseted bodice, and a train long enough to sweep away any pretense of modesty. Chalamet, still best known for broody indie roles and cryptic Instagram captions, opted for a sharp black Prada tuxedo with curated scruff that screamed “I woke up like this (but my stylist didn’t).”
Sources from TMZ first caught wind of the duo’s grand entrance, and our friends at People Magazine confirmed the timeline: Jenner arrived at 7:02 p.m. local time, Chalamet followed three minutes later—strategic, of course, for maximum side-by-side photo ops. Getty Images captured that signature “let’s pretend we weren’t coordinated” moment as they paused under the spotlights, both smiling like they’d just remembered they share the same publicist. A Vogue Italy insider noted that Jenner’s stylist, Christopher Campbell, personally flew to Rome last week to finalize the look, which Jenner later credited on Instagram Stories as “Italian dreaming.”
In true Deadpan Comedian fashion, let’s roast the optics: the pair managed to deliver zero chemistry yet generate 100 percent tabloid coverage. Jenner’s diamond choker sparkled brighter than her engagement rumors, and Chalamet’s tailored ensemble was crisp enough to iron out any speculation that he actually knows how to dress himself. They stopped to chat briefly with Italian film luminaries—including award presenter Monica Bellucci—before weaving past the velvet ropes with bodyguards who looked like they’d rather be anywhere else.
Despite whispers of a budding romance—fanned by paparazzi’s hopeful lenses—neither star confirmed anything more than a friendly exchange. And why spoil the fun of endless conjecture? After all, nothing fuels headlines quite like two megastars who can’t even commit to holding hands in public. E! News added that Jenner spent the rest of the evening sampling Aperol Spritz in the VIP lounge, while Chalamet was seen debating Nietzsche with a table of Italian press. Classic.
Tune in next time for more overhyped poses and carefully choreographed “candid” smiles—because if there’s one thing Hollywood loves, it’s a sequel.
