Adhering to this year’s theme of “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion”, the 25-year-old opted to source most of his look from home-grown designers, topped off with some French refinement.
The all-white ensemble featured a satin tuxedo jacket with contrasting black lapels, worn on top of a white polo neck by American designer Rick Owens. The refreshing and minimalist white jacket was created by French designer Haider Ackermann, long-time dressmaker for Chalamet’s big moments.
The daring parts of his outfit were the Rick Owens sweatpants and Converse Chuck Taylor trainers – items often reserved for casual weekends rather than the red carpet, but the Dune actor pulled it off with grace. He also wore a 1928 vintage Cartier Cliquet pin and a star brooch for a touch of luxury.
