Timothée Chalamet Can’t Stop Dressing Like It’s 1965
StyleThese days, though, he’s looking a little less Dylan, a little more Keith Richards.By Yang-Yi GohDecember 3, 2024Timothée Chalamet, James Mangold at the 34th Annual Gotham Awards held at Cipriani Wall Street on December 2, 2024 in New York, New York.

Production on A Complete Unknown, his upcoming James Mangold-directed Bob Dylan biopic, took place between March and June—naturally, the vast majority of photos that surfaced of the Oscar nominee during those months depicted him in full Greenwich-Village-in-the-early-’60s garb. Then, following a brief return to his signature brand of post-swag dressing, Timmy hopped straight back into another bygone era for his next project: the 1950s-set Marty Supreme, in which the 28-year-old plays a table tennis star with a wispy mustache and a closetful of spectacular wide-lapelled suits. At last night’s Gotham Awards, Chalamet continued his streak of sartorial time travel with another midcentury-inflected ensemble—albeit this time one with an entirely different musical inspiration.Chalamet, in his retro Celine suit, with director James Mangold at the Gotham Awards.

Hedi Slimane, who led Celine for six years before departing in October, is known for his ultra-slim silhouettes and rock-’n’-roll influences—and Chalamet’s fit boasted both in spades. The double-breasted suit features unusually high and short lapels with a rarely seen 4x8 button stance—meaning there are eight buttons across the front but only four that actually function—a distinctly retro look that calls to mind the dandyish Carnaby Street tailoring worn by artists like the Rolling Stones and Frank Zappa in the mid-’60s.Chalamet rocking a big, drapey, 1950s suit on the set of Marty Supreme.

Looking to follow in Timmy’s retro-tinged footsteps? We’d suggest you try out a strong-shouldered, big-pleated two-piece à la Marty Supreme—which’ll look better on a wider range of body types and feel more contemporary overall than the swinging-sixties number he sported last night. Though, frankly, if Chalamet’s Gotham Awards suit happens to kickstart a mod revival among his legion of waifish lookalikes, that’d be a very good thing in our books.
