Timothée Chalamet Wears Coleman Douglas Pearls for Vogue Interview

Known for his iconic performances in Call Me By Your Name, Little Women and Dune, it’s impossible to deny Timothée Chalamet’s impact on the film industry. But he’s also developed a reputation as a leading male fashion icon too. His unique, striking and gender-fluid style has influenced many fashionistas across the globe.

Now he’s breaking the mould again as British Vogue magazine’s first male cover star, all while showcasing the versatility of pearl jewellery. In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Timothée’s ground-breaking style, along with tips on how to recreate the look – and why pearls for men is the hottest new trend of the decade.

Timothée Chalamet – British Vogue's first male cover

With a long list of iconic film, TV and theatre productions under his belt, Timothée Chalamet has developed a reputation as one of the best young actors of the 21^st century. His eclectic sense of style has also captivated the world. Mixing classic and contemporary sensibilities, Chalamet’s style has been characterised by bold, statement prints, unusual designs and gender-bending outfits.

He’s worn creations from a variety of renowned designers, including Haider Ackermann, Prada and Stella McCartney. Along with clothes, he’s also well known for his love of accessorising – with everything from designer harnesses to... you guessed it, pearls!

Timothée Chalamet’s long relationship with fashion has culminated in British Vogue’s very first solo male cover star. So, why has Chalamet specifically been selected for this momentous photoshoot? The answer is clear. As British Vogue editor Edward Enninful writes, “Timothée Chalamet is modern man incarnate, as an actor and as a person.” His style is “so innate and self-assured that it inspires women and men alike.” For Vogue, Chalamet represents not just a development in fashion, but in gender roles and self-representation.

Chalamet’s photoshoot illustrates how modern fashion is no longer confined to rigid gender roles but is instead “about dressing to make yourself feel good.” Chalamet wears a unique combination of modern and vintage, men’s and womenswear. Standout couture included a striking leather waistcoat and trouser combo from Gucci, and a chainmail top from Stella McCartney.

Arguably the boldest style statement from the shoot is Chalamet’s quintessential accessorising. In several photos, he wears a single strand pearl necklace that complements his style perfectly, providing a graceful and understated, yet edgy look.

This pearl aesthetic is carried over into his video interview with Edward Enninful, where Chalamet sports our gorgeous silver-black Tahitian pearl necklace. Along with his casual print t-shirt and double bracelet combo, the pearls create a grungy, androgynous look, with a subtle masculine glamour.
