Call me by your chain: Timothée Chalamet’s magpie tendencies begin with Star of David necklace charm Oliver at Luca Guadagnino (Luca Guadagnino) sent Elio in an emotionally raw and utterly beautiful coming-of-age romance, and it spiraled upward from there. He’s photographed almost entirely with a hodgepodge of metal chains wrapped around his wrists and neck, and he favors hits from Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood and Cartier for his edgy, often androgynous red-carpet appearances.
While his friendship with the former Virgil Abloh-led fashion house saw him break the internet in an embellished bib (don’t call it a harness! ), but Chalamet delighted in the latter jeweler’s ambassadorship no less than his fellow magpies. At the 2002 Oscars, the American actor donned a Cartier Tradition brooch dating back to the 1999, printed on the chest of his Prada Re-Nylon jacket, as he waved the flag for a sustainable notion of Hollywood glamor.
The ensuing Dune press conference saw a hat-trick of delicate, futuristic Cartier pins – Smoky Quartz convex Round Embellishment Insecte Bionique Brooch Dating to 1955, Platinum Design 18, Decorated With diamonds and pearls, and a third vintage style in 18k white gold, diamonds and agate cabochons – Chalamet had his partner and Bulgari face Zendaya shines for her money on high accessories.

in his latest Cartier acquisition? Tank à Vis Dual Time Zone watch, Hawk’s Eye Santos Dumont ring, Platinum Onyx Tank ring, a Panthère de Cartier set, and Love ring from 1955 – in a nutshell In conclusion, here is a veritable list of the heritage house’s most famous and coveted trinkets, each with its own special symbolism. love line? Well, arguably, it was inspired by a chastity belt, suggesting lasting romance. Tank, meanwhile, is rooted in the history of World War I, when Louis Cartier was inspired by the new Renault tanks deployed on the Western Front. Chalamet loves stylish cosplay (check out his first single male BritishVogue cover) and of course knows his Just un Clou nails from his poetic Trinity band.

Vivienne Westwood, on the other hand, provides the star with deep-seated figurative Works in her signature dark humor. Take the diamond-flecked femur necklace Timothée wore to the Bones and All London premiere, paired with his cream Alexander McQueen suit. It looks shiny and bloodthirsty, because the necklace hits right on the cannibal drama theme of, ahem, bones. A few weeks later in Milan, he paired a heart-print sweater with another creepy, literal necklace featuring a string of sweet little pearls and, yes, you guessed it, bones. Emo didn’t even cut it.
Chalamet’s penchant for the beautiful and the sensual adds to his appeal as a generational heartthrob. Like Harry Styles, fans wear every single one of his treasures (remember him during the Little Women press conference A tiny Eiffel Tower around your neck?). Timothée’s jewelry box tells us exactly everything about a young man in his 20s who lives a short life between hotels and takes his craft very, very seriously. Brands couldn’t ask for better publicity when it comes to poster boys.
