This may finally be the year that Timothée Chalamet brings home an Academy Award. The 30-year-old actor is nominated for his third Oscar at the 98th Academy Awards for his role in Marty Supreme.
Heading into awards season, Timothée was a front runner, winning Best Actor at the Critics Choice Awards and a Golden Globe. But after a clip of the actor dismissing ballet and opera went viral, his chances have gone down a bit.
In a conversation with Matthew McConaughey, Timothée said: “I don’t want to be working in ballet or opera, or you know, things where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive,’ even though it’s like, no one cares about this anymore,” before adding: “All respect to the ballet and opera people out there.”
Regardless, Timothée is headed to the Oscars and hoping to take home the big prize. And every time he’s attended the award show, he’s shown up in style. Before the 98th Academy Awards, let’s take a trip down memory lane at the actor’s looks to Oscars events in years past.
Timothée was nominated for his first Oscar in 2018 for the heartbreaking romance, Call Me By Your Name. The actor, who was 22 at the time, brought his mom, Nicole Flender, as his date. To the event, he wore a custom, white Berluti suit, adding some flare with a pair of black boots.
In 2020, Timothée wasn’t nominated for an award, but showed up to enjoy the show. He wore a polarizing look from Prada – a zip-up tracksuit, with a white shirt, black pants, and black, square-toed shoes.
The actor attended the 2022 with his Dune cast, which was nominated for Best Picture. Timothée wore a sequined black suit by Louis Vuitton, without a shirt. He paired the daring look with silver jewelry – plenty of rings and two chain necklaces.
And, the actor borrowed the look from the brand’s spring 2022 womenswear collection.
Seven years after he was nominated for his first Oscar, Timothée received his second nomination for his role in the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown. While he didn’t win that night, he won the red carpet. Timothée wore a butter-yellow custom Givenchy suit paired with black shoes.
We may not know what Timothée is wearing to the 98th Academy Awards, but if his previous red carpet looks have anything to say, we know it will be good. To the 98th Oscar Nominees Luncheon on February 10, 2026, Timothée wore a navy custom Givenchy suit with a white button-up.
The suit is his uniform for this award season, wearing it five times in different colors.
