Timothée Chalamet Unveils New Look After Missing Kendrick Lamar’s Viral Outfit

Timothée Chalamet, the 29-year-old Oscar-nominated actor, debuted a bold new look on Wednesday at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The star, who has become known for his striking style choices, surprised fans with a pixie haircut featuring short, black sides and a front fringe. To complement his edgy new hairdo, Chalamet chose a vibrant outfit that certainly turned heads.

Chalamet’s New Look at the Santa Barbara Film Festival

He wore a bold, lime green shirt adorned with abstract floral patterns, adding a playful touch to his appearance. Underneath the buttoned long-sleeve shirt, he sported a bright green tank top, further emphasizing the fresh, colorful vibe of his look. To complete the ensemble, he accessorized with a simple silver chain, tying the outfit together effortlessly.

This appearance comes shortly after speculation surrounding Kendrick Lamar‘s appearance at the Super Bowl halftime show. The 37-year-old rapper was spotted wearing a pair of flared denim trousers by Celine, initially thought to be intended for Chalamet. The flared jeans were part of the Celine collection and were described as “summer surf flared jeans” on the brand’s website. However, there was considerable online debate as to whether they were truly flared or bell-bottom style.

Stylist Taylor McNeil’s Influence on Both Stars

The connection between Chalamet and Lamar becomes clearer when considering their shared stylist, Taylor McNeil. McNeil, who also works with other A-list clients like Charli XCX and Dominic Fike, had originally provided the $1,300 denim trousers to Chalamet. According to a source speaking, the size 29 women’s jeans fit Lamar perfectly, despite his usual size being 33. The confusion is further fueled by the significant height difference between the two stars—Chalamet stands at 5’10”, while Lamar is 5’5″. This size disparity likely explains why the jeans appeared longer on Lamar, creating an unexpected but hilarious visual.

Fans couldn’t help but poke fun at Lamar’s fashion choice. One online commenter quipped, “I want to know why Kendrick is wearing my high school girlfriend’s jeans.” Another shared a humorous memory, saying, “I love Kendrick, but I don’t get fashion. Those jeans are exactly the pair I wore in seventh grade, dragging over my oversized skate shoes and constantly soaking at the hems.” Others chimed in, noting how Lamar’s jeans had a nostalgic effect on millennial girls, with one saying, “Kendrick’s flared jeans on the floor are making every millennial girl pay attention.”

Despite the mixed reactions to Lamar’s outfit, his stylist also received praise for other outfits. During the same event, McNeil styled Lamar in a unique Martine Rose blue leather jacket with custom embroidered patterns and sports-inspired fabric panels. Additionally, Lamar added some sparkle to his look with a diamond-encrusted Rahiminov pin worth $68,000 on his cap.

Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet’s more recent public appearances have been equally eye-catching. In January, he debuted a fresh hairstyle at the Golden Globe Awards, where he attended alongside his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. The couple, who went public with their relationship in late 2023, have kept their romance mostly private, only making rare public appearances together. Although Jenner and Chalamet shared affectionate moments at the Golden Globes, they’ve largely kept their nearly two-year relationship out of the spotlight.

Kylie Jenner’s Social Media Silence on Her Relationship with Chalamet

Unlike her previous high-profile relationship with Travis Scott, with whom she shares two children—Stormi, 7, and Aire, 3—Jenner has remained notably more discreet about her romance with Chalamet. While she often shared moments from her past relationship with Scott on social media, she has not yet posted anything about Chalamet, maintaining a lower profile when it comes to their relationship.

In summary, Chalamet’s appearance at the Santa Barbara Film Festival marked a notable style shift for the actor, with his new haircut and bold fashion choices catching the public’s attention. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar’s viral outfit at the Super Bowl halftime show has sparked plenty of discussion, with fans and fashion critics alike debating his choice of flared jeans. Both stars continue to make headlines with their unique personal styles and high-profile public appearances.
