A suit that speaks volumes
In an era where red carpet menswear often oscillates between the safely traditional and the outlandishly avant-garde, Timothée Chalamet continues to strike the perfect balance.
At the 2024 Gotham Awards, the A Complete Unknown star demonstrated once again why he’s Hollywood’s favorite leading man, sporting a tailored ensemble from Celine.
The centerpiece of Timothée’s look was a striped anthracite flannel suit that manages to be both classic and contemporary. The jacket, cut with the precision we’ve come to expect from Celine, creates a silhouette that’s both relaxed and refined. The matching pants, featuring distinctive Western pockets, add a subtle rebellious edge to the traditional suit format.
The details make the difference
What elevates this look from simply sophisticated to genuinely memorable is the thoughtful layering and accessories. The striped cotton shirt, with its Carnaby collar, offers a subtle nod to ’60s mod culture while feeling thoroughly modern. It’s the kind of detail that demonstrates Timothée’s knack for wearing clothes that reference the past while staying firmly rooted in the present.
Anchoring the entire ensemble are Celine’s Drugstore Chelsea boots in shiny calfskin. The boots, with their sleek silhouette and high-shine finish, add a rock ‘n’ roll edge to the tailored look.
The whole look worked especially well with Timothée’s neat throwback ‘stache, offering a subtle nod to A Complete Unknown‘s era without veering into on-the-nose Bob Dylan cosplay.
