Timothée Chalamet stepped onto the red carpet at the A Complete Unknown Tokyo premiere and sent fans into an entire collective meltdown. Chalamet dressed as he just walked out of a rockstar time machine.
He had the internet scrambling to find out if he was promoting a movie or starting a fashion revolution. Within minutes everyone was tweeting photos of his look with fans checking every detail like it was in Da Vinci's Code of Style.
One thing was clear - whether he was channeling Bob Dylan or just proving once again that he could make anything look effortlessly cool, the 'Chalamania' was in full swing.
Everything about Timothée’s outfit was working - classic leather pants, a simple t-shirt, and a stylish jacket - he served effortless cool on a silver platter. And then just when everyone thought he had nailed the look a big soft toy was suddenly around his neck like the hottest new affinity of 2025.
The plushie seemed to have fans doing double takes in front of him like a VIP pass for a teddy bear convention. Was that a fashion statement? A secret message? Why did Timmy lose a bet? Whatever the reason, one thing was certain - only Chalamet could turn a 'stuffed animal' scarf into high fashion.
As soon as the news came out, someone (@oneflowhoeee_) took to his X account and commented:
"He’s in his King Kylie era"
One fan summarized it perfectly on X declaring that Timothée was in his “King Kylie era” and honestly they might be on something. With his unexpected plushie accessory, he gave peak Kylie-level fashion unpredictability - because if there's one thing that the internet has learned it’s that dating Kylie Jenner comes with a free masterclass in bold style choices.
The internet had an absolute field day with Timothée's latest fashion statement as expected. Fans flooded X with reactions. They raised questions about whether he was doing a new fashion plushie trend or just accidentally walked off with that.
Some were in awe, calling it a bold artistic choice while others joked that he may have been held hostage by a very clingy stuffed animal. Fashion analysts everywhere were scrambling to determine, which proved what is avant-garde genius or at least proof of celebrity style officially entering its build-a-bear era.
Let us walk you through how the netizens reacted!

"Why is everyone suddenly carrying a emotional support soft toy around their neck?"
Another one (@300mirrors) commented:
"All the fans that don't "understand" this change aren't actually fans, lol. I'm not even into him like that, and even I know he's always been like this. He's trolling y'all haters that say, "What do he and kylie even have in common, what do they talk about."

"bob dylan turning in his grave"

In the end, Timothée has had the internet twisted and strained again. Whether he is making a bold style statement paying tribute to a childhood favorite or simply forgetting to put down the toy. if plushies become the next big trend we all know who to thank for its success (or blame).
At least for now, the world will have to wait and see what he’ll do next: a red carpet appearance on his back with a life-size action figure? With Chalamet, anything is possible.
