The actor kicked off his “Marty Supreme” press tour in screaming color, embracing the orange motif inspired by the ping-pong balls his character, Marty Mauser, plays with in the film.
However, as time has gone on since the film’s December premiere, the Oscar nominee, 30, has developed a uniform that he’s repeated five times. The look is a definite nod to Mauser, a hustler in the Lower East Side in 1952 who sports a similar look in some scenes.
Chalamet enlisted Sarah Burton for custom Givenchy suits in different shades — always double breasted with a peak lapel and worn with matching double pleated trousers and a white cotton shirt, per press releases from the brand.
It seems Chalamet is betting on his lucky suit going into awards season as he turned up the Oscar Nominee Luncheon on Tuesday in a royal blue iteration of the tried-and-true.
He kicked off the parade of custom looks on Jan. 3, when he arrived at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, wearing the retro style in a dark brown shade and added a tie featuring an oyster print from the brand’s archives.
Girlfriend Kylie Jenner, for her part, was on her beau’s arm in orange sequins.
The very next day, he went for a navy pinstripe style with an archival pink floral tie — and Jenner sparkled in black metal mesh as he declared his love for her in his acceptance speech.
It would be a month before the star went back to his reliable outfit formula, appearing solo on Feb. 4 at the film’s Paris premiere in a warm brown version sans tie.
And, on Feb. 7, he pulled double duty at the Director’s Guild of America Awards and a Q&A at Aero Theatre in Santa Monica in a beige version, again skipping a tie.
With the star up for best actor at next month’s Academy Awards, we have a feeling stylist Taylor McNeil may have Givenchy on the line.
