Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner Lock Into Formation at the BAFTAs, Matching in Black and Owning the Night

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner arrived at the BAFTA Awards 2026 dressed like they understood the assignment. Black. Precise. Unified. No chaos, no guesswork — just two of the most watched figures in modern celebrity culture moving as one.

The pair appeared together at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, photographed close, calm, and fully in sync. Jenner, 28, wore vintage Thierry Mugler — black velvet, cut close to the body, elevated by a cluster of coloured jewels at the bodice, anchored by a central stone in a deep, unmistakable orange. It was Mugler doing what Mugler has always done best: framing the female form without apology. Moussaieff jewellery completed the look, adding weight without distraction.

Chalamet, nominated for Best Leading Actor for his role in Marty Supreme, stayed in his lane. Custom Givenchy by Sarah Burton. Double-breasted tuxedo, pleated trousers, silk shirt, bow tie. No deviation. No noise. He’s built a reputation on discipline — understanding when to experiment, and when to shut it down and let presence carry the moment.

Marty Supreme itself has become a serious awards force, landing 11 nominations, including Best Film and Best Director. Chalamet remains central to its momentum, and his appearance here reinforced his position at the front of the current generation.

Together, he and Jenner have turned awards season into something close to strategic theatre. At the Golden Globes, she arrived in gold Ashi Studio and over 100 carats of Lorraine Schwartz diamonds. He countered with black velvet Chrome Hearts and Cartier. At the Critics Choice Awards, she pulled archival Versace metal mesh, while he stayed sharp in Givenchy pinstripes. And in December, they went full throttle in matching orange Chrome Hearts leather at the Marty Supreme premiere — a move that dominated headlines for weeks.

But the BAFTAs told a different story. No colour. No stunt. Just black, worn with total conviction.

They didn’t need spectacle. They are the spectacle.
