This poster is from his film Call Me By Your Name (2017) and can be regarded as secondary media as it is a promotional cover of the movie. Usage of soft, light blue colours paired with dreamy upwards gaze helps establish feelings of sensitivity, romance and emotional vunerability towards the movie as well as Timothée as a person, aligning with his soft-boy persona.

Movie poster from King (2019), a film feature slightly later in his career as we can see a distinct change in his image. This one having significantly more serious and mature tones as we see a shift from previous roles of vulnerability and innocence to cold power and violence. Evidence of star image advancements as the dept of his public image is deepened.

Final movie poster, featuring his blockbuster film Dune (2021). We see him become a blockbuster lead in a major film and novel series. In the poster he is framed an as unconventional hero as he isn't your generically built, outgoing main character. He appears in a mysterious light showcasing him as an intellectual, mysterious force of nature. This builds his presence as an actor, fully showcasing the diversity he has as an actor as he is able to convey emotional complexity through all forms of genre. This could relate to the quote, 'a person is iconic when they dominate our encounter or experience of them to the extent that on almost forgets the actual reality of the person,' (Penfold 2004: 290).

One of his first significant red-carpet interviews. We can see self-modesty from Timothée as he acknowledges his name is one that is upcoming, not already worldwide in 'who's this guy?' Mentions of his two recent movie nominations in 'Call Me By Your Name' and his feature in 'Ladybird', showcasing an upwards progression in his film career. Can see he is a family-orientated man what with bringing his mother to the interview and sharing memoirs regarding childhood acting experiences, showcasing him as a transparent, real person who people can and would want to relate to

In this interview he discusses difficulties he faces in terms of how he presents himself in the public eye, describing it as sometimes being like 'shopping for a personality' in terms of the persona he has to craft for the media/ public eye. Real life, unspoken elements of teenage years can be see discussed to in things like peer pressure which he described as often being 'disillusioning'. Presents himself as a spokesperson for those teenagers with no voice, allowing minorities to converge with him as a person and to his work too.

This took place very early in Timothée's acting career and we can see he is visibly nervous as he addresses the crowd and states he has never done thus before whilst also excusing any nervous behaviour he shows. This paints him as a real character, one that isn't afraid to vocalise his emotions and takes who he is and what he feels with pride. He also tells us he is from New York and 'grew up on the blocks,' making him seem like an average citizen and showcasing the greatness he has achieved from his normality. This interview emphasis the fact that we very much well do live in a , 'celebrity culture,' (Penfold 2004: 289) with the details of their life being extremely important to the fans.

He is asked questions regarding his blockbuster feature in 'Dune 2' as well as his additional main role in 'Wonka' showcasing his success as an actor. Despite his persona appearing slightly more nonchalant in comparison to earlier interviews (body language, tone, sunglasses) he still discusses realistic issues he faces in terms of 'pressures' he faces.

This clip is extracted from a theatrical performance of Timothée's in 2016, a lot earlier in his carer in comparison to other sources used. We see his acting skills consisting of raw emotion in vocals, tears and facial expressions. This start at acting showcases to his audience that there stardom he has in current times is due to other than the talent and hard work that he has.

Progression in acting career opens new doors for him in the fashion/ modelling industry. Showcases of his identity switching or blending to one that is fashion heavy; an example of him pushing the boundaries of masculinity and what is considered normal. Image and style playing a huge part in his 'star image., relating to him being a star that is, 'not only a fascinating person that deserves admiration but an icon of an era, a cultural sign,' (Luzon-Aguado 2008: 4).

Timothée Chalamet first declared himself a fashion fanboy in 2018, but he hardly needed to spell it out: by then, the ease with which the young Hollywood actor navigated everything from red-carpet dressing to junkets and off-duty fashion moments was very much evident.

His films Call Me by Your Name and Lady Bird had been released to critical acclaim, and Chalamet had successfully breezed through promo tours and perfected the statement street-style look. As his star continued to rise, he began cultivating relationships with fashion designers, like Haider Ackermann and Virgil Abloh, both of whom have produced bespoke looks for Chalamet. Think about Timothée Chalamet's most memorable outfits, and that Louis Vuitton "bib", a silver Haider Ackermann suit, a backless Haider Ackermann look and fuchsia Stella McCartney tailoring spring to mind.

Off-duty, he now reaches for Prada jackets and Celine hoodies, regularly delving into his impressive collection of trainers and boyish baseball caps. Chalamet is a fan of an all-leather look, too, with the star recently spotted in a matching blazer and trousers paired with stomper boots while out and about in New York.

Below, we revisit Timothée Chalamet's best looks to date.

More magazine coverage, this being a feature in one of the biggest men's lifestyle magazines. His section of the magazine extensively analyses his wardrobe and the elegance in which he wears his clothes. It analyses the ways Timothée has changed Hollywood men's style. The article highlights where this style comes from (early 2000 nostalgia), tying in with his recent film at that time (A Complete Unknown) which had rock n roll elements.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 29-year-old may not have won the Oscar for his Bob Dylan portrayal in A Complete Unknown, but his attention-grabbing wardrobe on the campaign trail became a prize all its own. GQ compiled an exceedingly comprehensive timeline-from full-on Dylan cosplay moments to all-pink Chrome Hearts madness-and rounded up a panel of aficionados to discuss.

For as long as we've been talking about Timothée Chalamet, we've been talking about Timothée Chalamet's clothes. In a turn of sartorial fate perhaps predestined by his Manhattan upbringing and French lineage, the 29-year-old actor is a torchbearer among Hollywood's most fashionable figures. His routinely surprising ensembles-say, Converse and sweatpants to the Met Gala, or a floor-length latex trench coat fresh off a flight to Japan-helped redraw the industry's rigid boundaries around men's fashion, formalwear, and off-duty style. Whether he was shirtless save for a Louis Vuitton women's sequined blazer at the Oscars, or backless courtesy of a Haider Ackermann halter at Cannes, or guileless in a Virgil Abloh-designed bedazzled harness-bib at the Golden Globes, Timmy was training us to take notice.

But the global press tour for director James Mangold's Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, for which Chalamet's long-marinated lead performance would fetch him his second Academy Award nomination, posed a new opportunity for the actor. Though his blockbuster turn in the all-ages extravaganza Wonka made him a multigenerational star, the role also left a parched arroyo of evaporated sex appeal in its wake that no quantity of chocolatey Tom Ford suits or candy-toned Prada jumpsuits could quench. Recuperation would require a shift: A return to his gauche-swagger form, but weirder. More personality, less polish. Make the id match the ego. If the first shoe dropped when Chalamet crashed his own lookalike contest in New York City, the other tumbled down when he surprised the University of Minnesota campus marching band-in Dylan's home state, no less-sporting a Safdie-approved skinny mustache and a playful Polo Ralph Lauren rugby shirt. More surreal promotional antics (such as appearing on ESPN's College GameDay and Theo Von's This Past Weekend podcast, or surprising fans with a performance-art-style Instagram livestream) followed, all of them marked by careful, if natural-seeming, fashion choices guided by the actor's new stylist Taylor McNeill, whom history will certainly remember as the menswear oracle of Q1 2025; her client roster also includes Kendrick Lamar, whose sensational Celine flares at the Super Bowl halftime show were purportedly first intended for Chalamet.

As Timmy hit the circuit in an onslaught of knowing designer fashion and charming-scumbag streetwear, the actor's aura not only returned, but radiated more strongly than ever. But how would the public respond?

"He looks hot," says Interview editor Mel Ottenberg, specifically referring to a custom baby pink Chrome Hearts getup Chalamet wore to the Berlinale last month. "People have overdressed in a formal way for all the functions for far too long. Nobody ever said it has to be like this [on the] red carpet. I think he looks like a star, and I think he looks sexy."

"I would wear the fits he's wearing," says Emma Rogue, founder of Rogue Vintage and Gen Z fashion whisperer. "The look with the pink Telfar puffer, the Chanel bag, the True Religion jeans-it's literally what these the kids I come in to do fit checks with are wearing, like, to a tee."

Timmy's anti-overdressed wardrobe felt ruled by a certain freewheelin' prerogative, and all of his outfits seemed to wink at someone or something. For the early-aughts nostalgists, there were those True Religions, cooked Nike Uptempos, and Alexander McQueen's skull scarves. For the streetwear enthusiasts, there were Arc'teryx grails, custom Nahmias hoodies, and Kiko Kostadinov-designed Asics. (On his most chaotic-casual days, Timmy's ensembles feel texturally akin to Justin Bieber's, who became a modern maverick of idiosyncratic, high-low personal style under the tutelage of superstar stylist Karla Welch.) And there were plenty of viral-ready Easter eggs for the Dylanologists, from gentler nods via leather coats, rakish scarves, and bolo ties to his straight-up cosplay of a look Dylan wore at Sundance in 2003 at the film's New York City premiere. At times, my colleagues and I wondered if he might go full Soy Bomb.

According to writer and Bob Dylan cognoscente Ian Grant, Chalamet's Bob-at-Sundance cosplay "was a clear signal to those of us in this incredibly niche community that he's done the homework, he's done the reading. He earned his stripes with me that day."

Side-stepping the over-trodden method-dressing trend, Chalamet wore site-specific designers relevant to whichever city he was touring in: Telfar and Timberland in New York; Martine Rose in London; Chanel and Isabel Marant in Paris; Prada and Miu Miu in Rome; Needles and A Bathing Ape in Tokyo. He deployed odd props such as an electric Lime bike, a Beyblade, and a Bape stuffed monkey. The conversation-churning outfits contributed to his turning of what could have been a routine movie press tour into a one-man Oscars campaign so beguiling, the New York Times deemed it "a genuine masterpiece of self-promotion."

When Chalamet accepted the SAG trophy for best actor last weekend-his first major award of the season-he said, "I know we're in a subjective business, but the truth is, I'm really in pursuit of greatness," namechecking actors Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando, and Viola Davis as well as athletes Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps. "I know people don't usually talk like that but I want to be one of the greats." Similarly, there is something "old Hollywood" about how Timmy has dressed throughout this press tour...as in, the slightly older Hollywood of the 1980s, '90s, and early 2000s, when celebrities dressed themselves to attend movie premieres. (In other words, they dressed like they were actually about to go watch a movie.) In the same way that this recent past has now been memorialized on the internet via archival accounts like @nightopenings or @gettyimagesfanclub, one could imagine the youth of 30 years from now may rediscover Chalamet's fashion from 2025 and subsequently wonder where to cop some saggy True Religions or a hot pink Martine Rose parka of their own.

" Timmy Tim has been really integrated into the brand identity," says Emily Kirkpatrick, fashion writer and purveyor of the "I <3 Mess" newsletter, "which I think too is kind of a flex, right? Up until this point in his career, it's been about proving [he's] a serious actor, and with that kind of comes the extreme high-fashion, very sedate, very serious red carpet looks. Now it's this reintegration of the true theater kid, with all the cringey internet history that comes with him, into the fashion-into no-fucks-given, rock-and-roll attitude of it all."

It's anyone's guess whether or not the freewheelin' vibe will fully translate to Chalamet's outfit for tonight's Oscars ceremony, which still tends to be a pretty sober affair, especially for favored nominees. Ottenberg bets he'll wear Haider Ackermann's Tom Ford, while Rogue thinks a gold Juicy tracksuit would be "iconic." Kirkpatrick hopes he goes "full white tank top, like full Marlon Brando, but scummier. He's already been topless there, so what's stopping him?"

And while Grant predicts he'll go for something of the Hedi Slimane variety, he notes that there are "quite a few signature sloppy looks from Bob's past, particularly from the '80s, that would be ripe for re-appropriation from someone as talented as Mr. Chalamet. A lot of like, shirtless but wearing a leather vest and with a dangling earring and fingerless leather gloves."

And so, come gather 'round people wherever you roam: Let's review the 40-plus ensembles Timothée Chalamet has worn publicly these past few months. At the very least, they'll make a portrait of a man, neither completely known or unknown, as he flexes on the edge of historical greatness.

Update, March 5, 2025: This story has been updated to include the final two looks of Chalamet's press-tour fashion marathon, from the 97th Academy Awards and its afterparty.

December 2, 2024 - New York City

The first red-carpet appearance of the mustache, and thus where we begin our journey.

December 5, 2024 - Minneapolis

During Chalamet's visit, per a blog post on the University of Minneapolis's website, "the trombones, never to shy away from a performance, stood forward and performed, followed by chants of 'Lisan Al-Gaib' and accompanying hand signals from the Dune movie."

December 5, 2024 - Minneapolis

Might be his first pink watch, but certainly not his last.

December 6, 2024 - Nashville

Peep the blokecore Supreme x Martine Rose scarf.

According to Emily Kirkpatrick, Chalamet "going on all these podcasts and these YouTubes, similarly with the fashion, it's very of the moment. It is very relatable to this Gen Z audience that he's accessing and charming to come and see this movie."

December 17, 2024 - London

Some forget that Tom Cruise stepped out to support A Complete Unknown at a screening in December. Not me, though! I didn't forget. There he was, embracing Timmy. Two generations, both wearing huge grins and skinny pants. A real passing-of-the-torch moment.

December 17, 2024 - New York City

"With some of the supplementary videos that he's released, like there's that video of him lip-sync rapping to 'Views of Joanna' out at a pier in Manhattan, you almost get the sense that he's playing with the boundaries between what's real," says Ian Grant. "He plays the part of Bob Dylan on the screen in the movie, but at the same time, he's almost playing the part of Bob Dylan" in real life.

December 18, 2024 - London

Emma Rogue loved seeing Chalamet in Uptempos, because "those are one of my all-time favorite Nike silhouettes. So the fact that he's like bringing back these underrated classics, because I don't really see too many people rocking Uptempos much anymore, it's just really cool. Who knows, maybe in the near future he'll do a drop with Nike, you know, and re-release something."

December 23, 2024 - Los Angeles

Chalamet's holiday-timed livestream mystified fans, but his intentions were clear.

"Obviously it's a joke, but it's also a great, well-executed PR stunt, and it is kind of totally serious," says Emily Kirkpatrick. "Like, he is congratulating himself [of] getting to this moment, accomplishing all this stuff. With the Kylie Jenner aspect of it all, it also feels like a rebrand. It's playful, but it is also kind of like, 'You should be taking me more seriously,' or 'I'm a different type of celebrity than you thought of me in the past.'"

December 30, 2024 - Los Angeles

The gas station fit check is a Hollywood rite of passage.

A premiere look that can go from the red carpet to the stadium stands? That's amore!

January 22, 2025 - New York City

"The little Chanel purses and everyone was like, 'Oh, they're Stormi's,' you know, that seems kind of calculated to me," says Emily Kirkpatrick. "You know exactly what people are gonna say when they see a teeny tiny bag like that, or at the very least, you know that like the internet loves a hot young man carrying a purse."

Emma Rogue appreciated "the Chanel scarf-seeing that CC logo just like, hanging. There were so many elements to [this outfit]. So many different niches that people could relate to."

Per Mel Ottenberg, "The Chanel bag is a bit much for me, but nobody asked me. I mean, you're asking me, but like, it's not my business. I could live without the Chanel bags and the skinny scarves. But overall, I think it's good."

January 21-25, 2025 - New York City

For his third time hosting Saturday Night Live, Chalamet upped the ante by doubling as the musical guest. He played a trio of Dylan deep cuts while dressed in his typically chaotic off-duty style.

"I also definitely think he's in on the ridiculousness and the joke because that's part of the nonchalance of this look. It's like, yeah, of course you look crazy, but like, it's fun, the world's crazy," says Mel Ottenberg. "Why not? It's the apocalypse."

January 26, 2025 - New York City

After Emma Rogue analyzed Chalamet's off-duty look on TikTok, she's since seen more review videos from "New York City fashion boys that I would have never expected to review Timothée Chalamet being like, 'Yo, like this kid's actually putting that shit on and I respect him now,' or like, 'I never really knew who he was, but I see what he's doing and I love it.'"

January 27, 2025 - New York City

Another edition of Timothée Chalamet, Certified Ball-Knower.

"I don't really see [how Chalamet's been dressing] as a prank because he is so serious about this film that in a way, anything he's doing about this film is inherently very intense," says Emily Kirkpatrick. "If it is a kind of put-on, it's a very seriously well-executed put-on, I guess."

February 10, 2025 - Los Angeles

A hopeful sign that Dune: Messiah is coming sooner than we think.

February 14, 2025 - Berlin

Perhaps the most stunning and memorable look of the entire run was this custom pink Chrome Hearts ensemble with matching Timberland boots.

At first, says Mel Ottenberg, "I was like, what the fuck is going on here? I was asking the guys in the office, and they were like, 'No, I really like it.' And I was looking at them and I'm like, 'You dress like this all the time. And you are funny.' It's like, guys that are funny and are like Gen Z with good senses of humor wear shit like this, and I think they're having fun."

"I feel like the OG New York part of him is still in there, because he was wearing Timbs," says Emma Rogue.

Per Emily Kirkpatrick, "It's very Kardashian of him, honestly, to be doing whatever he wants. The Chrome Hearts of it all. He's having his kind of bad-boy moment."

February 16, 2025 - New York City

"All of the fits he's pulling are super relatable" to a younger audience, says Emma Rogue. "Kids that might not even know who Timothée Chalamet is are now taking notice and doing reviews of his outfits and leaning into who he is. It's exposing Gen Z to film and TV in a new way. They might not really want to pay attention to film and TV because all they consume is TikTok and YouTube, but he's bringing attention to himself and thus bringing more attention to all the movies he's working on."

On 60 Minutes, Chalamet brought his youthful energy to the CBS set.

February 16, 2025 - London

Chalamet's all-black BAFTAs look seemed subdued by his standards-right up until we noticed the $246,000 diamond necklace around his neck.

February 19, 2025 - Los Angeles

The people accepted the True Religion jeans. But what about dorky True Religion cargo pants?

"A full leather suit is very informal to me, like that's the type of outfit I would expect to see at the Grammys or the VMAs," says Emily Kirkpatrick. "To see at the SAG Awards is kind of jarring in a nice way."

February 25, 2025 - Los Angeles

According to Mel Ottenberg, "Life's too short to not get this satin Gap outfit, like why not? Fuck it."

This Zac Posen-designed look had a cowboyish edge to it, but as Ian Grant points out, "We haven't seen Timmy in a cowboy hat quite yet. That's been a standard article of apparel of Bob's for the last 25, 30 years at this point. So if there's ever a time to just go full country Western, the Oscars could be it."

Chalamet's margarine-yellow leather cropped tuxedo jacket and matching five-pocket trousers (...jeans at the Oscars!) swerved from the prognostications. The look was designed by Givenchy's new creative director Sarah Burton as a preview of her first-ever, yet-to-be-shown collection for the French house. Given the night's turn, it was all the better that Timmy wore the showy look during the ceremony-he changed into a notably more sober, if also more elegant, look from Haider Ackermann's Tom Ford for the Vanity Fair afterparty.

Bravo, Timothée. Earlier in the evening, when Chicken Shop Date's Amelia Dimoldenberg asked him about the possibility of winning, he said, "I think it's already a victory. It's the taking part that counts. It's arriving in the oversized Escalade." As we've all learned on this journey together, it's also the fits we got off along the way.

More focus us on his 'streetwear' look, this time done in a way not only to promote him as a stylistic, innovative actor but to use him to sell a product. This is an example of 'celebrity commodity' a method clearly utilised by ASOS as a means to sell their clothes, showcasing them as worn by Timothée. ASOS is using his authenticity to drive their sales. This showcases the versatility Timotheé has in terms of promoting himself and using himself to promote other things as well as showcasing the fact that, 'celebrity images are not confined to their professional appearances like acting in a film,' (Meyrs 2009: 890).

His instagram page its carefully curated to maintain his 'star image'. The lack of people he follows is done intentionally, perhaps to either symbolise prestige or to show his very controlled social media engagement. He treats his instagram page as a work of art with aesthetic posts and high-culture references showing us that the media he posts is the same as the way in which he lives his life; one of elegance.

Display of vulnerability shows his awareness to things that affect him and the generation as a whole which makes his star image on that is thoughtful, wise and introspective rather than a celebrity with a disregard to real world issues that thinks they are better than that.

Timothée Chalamet is the name on everyone's lips. At just 27, he has proven himself one of the most talented actors of his generation, a rare new movie star in an era that's all but abandoned the concept. Since breaking out in 2017's aching summer-of-love romance Call Me by Your Name, for which he became the youngest Best Actor Oscar nominee in almost 80 years, he has delivered standout performances in Lady Bird (2017), Little Women (2021), Dune (2021) and more. With A Complete Unknown coming soon, join us on a journey through every role the actor has played to date.

Men, Women & Children (2014)

Based on Chad Kultgan's namesake 2011 novel, Men, Women & Children explores the ways in which the internet has influenced relationships in the modern world. While the film was not a huge success, it captured the moment that social media became an increasingly important part of our daily lives. And although Chalamet only has a minor role in the film, he made enough of an impression to move on to bigger parts.

Interstellar (2014)

For his second feature, Chalamet landed a small role in Christopher Nolan's sci-fi odyssey Interstellar, a film the actor would see 12 times at the cinema in IMAX upon release. He plays Tom, the son of Matthew McConaughey's former Nasa pilot Cooper, who is on a quest to find a habitable planet for the last vestiges of the Earth's already ravaged human population. The cost of the voyage? He will never see his children again. In this massive-scale, massive-budget film, Chalamet holds his own against scene partners McConaughey and John Lithgow.

Worst Friends (2014)

An under-the-radar, straight-to-DVD release, Worst Friends is arguably the least well known of Chalamet's films. A dark indie comedy set in New Jersey, it explores the strained relationship between two young men, one recovering from a traumatic accident, the other his unwilling carer. It might not be an essential Chalamet film, but for die-hard fans, it's worth watching to see him on the cusp of fame.

The Adderall Diaries (2015)

An adaptation of the eponymous true-crime memoir by Stephen Elliot, The Adderall Diaries explores trauma, memory and the bias we project onto our past. James Franco stars as the author, who recently wrote a book detailing the abuse he suffered as a child at the hands of his father. While promoting it, and researching his new writing project based on the Hans Reiser murder case, Elliot begins to see how his perception of his childhood might not be as close to true events as he previously thought. A little rambling at times, with a narrative that deviates significantly from its source, Chalamet nevertheless wins plaudits as the brooding young Elliot in key flashback scenes.

Call Me By Your Name (2017)

It was his portrayal of Elio that catapulted Chalamet into the cinematic stratosphere, convincing audiences and critics alike of his talent and immeasurable on-screen charisma. Luca Guadagnino's sensational Mediterranean romance was the perfect role for the young actor, giving him the space to prove himself, as well as allowing him to show off his multilingual abilities and musical skills. The film captured countless hearts and Chalamet was rewarded with Golden Globe, BAFTA and Oscar nominations.

Lady Bird (2017)

One of the most beloved indies of 2017, Greta Gerwig 's directorial debut features the endlessly talented Saoirse Ronan as rebellious Christine in a smart comedy-drama that captures the impetuousness, anguish and unalloyed joys of youth. Chalamet plays Christine's boyfriend Kyle, an über-cool, slightly pompous, chain-smoking musician. The character throws about conspiracy theories, and offers pseudo-intellectual takes on pacifism and the Iraq war, but the actor still imbues Kyle with an innate likability.

Beautiful Boy (2018)

Felix Van Groeningen's biographical father-son addiction drama gave Chalamet his most challenging role to date. Based on the memoirs Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines by Nic Sheff and Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction by David Sheff, the screenplay is harrowingly authentic and sincere, requiring Chalamet to portray Nic with the perfect level of angst and introspection. It saw him earn more BAFTA, Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.

A Rainy Day In New York (2019)

Chalamet collaborated with Woody Allen on this Big Apple confection (and later donated his entire salary on the film to charity due to the allegations against the director). He plays Gatsby, a wealthy liberal-arts student visiting Manhattan with his girlfriend, budding journalist Ashleigh ( Elle Fanning). The pair find themselves separated as Ashleigh becomes increasingly beguiled by the city, while Gatsby grows ever more disillusioned.

The King (2019)

Chalamet's portrayal of a monarch-in-waiting is a stunning showcase for his talent. As the young Hal, soon to be King Henry V, he is a carefree wastrel, living with little responsibility and enjoying the company of his friend John Falstaff (Joel Edgerton, whose screenplay adapts Shakespeare's Henry IV Parts I & II, and Henry V). BAs Henry V, he embraces his God-given right to power and suffers no fools or conspirators. In his first war film, Chalamet displays his versatility and leading-man potential.

Little Women (2019)

Chalamet reunited with Lady Bird's Greta Gerwig and Saoirse Ronan, along with a stellar cast, for a thrilling new adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's American classic. In a supporting role to the March sisters (Ronan, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson and Eliza Scanlen), Chalamet nevertheless delivers a charismatic performance as Laurie. Chalamet was praised for his unwavering charm and affecting vulnerability, particularly during the heartbreaking scene where he confesses his love to Ronan's Jo.

The French Dispatch (2021)

Wes Anderson's fabulous paean to The New Yorker is a typically adroit, stunningly realised and obsessively detailed comedy. It premiered to huge critical acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival and features such an astonishing all-star cast that even the smallest roles are filled by well-known actors. The film is divided into three stories, a divertissement and a bookending section that details the titular magazine's beginnings and end. Chalamet appears in one of the main stories, in which Frances McDormand's journalist encounters a young radical leading a revolution against the French establishment. Anderson makes the most of the actor's hair, transforming it into a character of its own, while Chalamet's expressions resemble a star of the silent screen, each conveying his emotional state. It's one of his most guileless and effortlessly charming performances.

Dune (2021)

Of all the roles any young actor could dream of playing, Paul Atreides, the protagonist of Frank Herbert's sci-fi epic, must rank pretty high. He is at the heart of every aspect of this universe-spanning tale. Kyle MacLachlan played him in David Lynch's confused 1984 version, but in the first of Denis Villeneuve's two-part take on the vast tome, Chalamet takes up the mantle. And he's perfect. If Call Me by Your Name, Beautiful Boy and The King highlighted his talent, here Chalamet steps into the shoes of stardom. And they fit perfectly.

DON'T LOOK UP (2021)

Another all-star cast in the vein of The French Dispatch populates Don't Look Up, Adam McKay's satirical look at the climate crisis, and the unwillingness of our elected officials to do anything about it. A giant asteroid is heading straight towards Earth, meaning imminent extinction for humankind, and two scientists ( Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence) are trying their best to get the word out, to little avail. After 90 minutes, Chalamet appears with a backwards baseball cap and a louche indifference, playing Yule, a spiritual successor to Lady Bird 's Kyle. He's a fuckboy, sure, but he soon exposes a more sensitive side when he comes to realise that his time is running out.

BONES AND ALL (2022)

There was much amusement around Chalamet's reteam with his Call Me by Your Name collaborator Luca Guadagnino because of its subject matter. This horror-tinged American West road movie starring a pair of loved-up cannibals (Chalamet and Waves star Taylor Russell) seemed to be a pointed response to the 2021 allegations that Call Me's Armie Hammer has a cannibalism fetish. (Hammer has denied these claims, and Guadagnino said any connection between this and the film is purely coincidental.) Anyway, Bones and All itself is a surprisingly tender romance beneath all the dismemberments and bloodshed; Chalamet and Russell have beautifully crackling chemistry.
