Timothée Chalamet brought a Chanel staple to the premiere of “A Complete Unknown” in Paris on Wednesday. The actor portrays Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s new biopic.
Chalamet modeled a leather jacket by the French fashion house, layering it over a white T-shirt and Isabel Marant jeans. Channeling Y2K style, he completed his look with combat boots — also by Marant — a skinny pink scarf and a bleach-dyed baseball cap.
The “Wonka” star was styled by Ryan Hastings, who also counts Anya Taylor-Joy and Natalie Portman as clients.
