The “Wonka” promotional tour promises to be a fashion-filled journey, with the always cool Timothée Chalamet leading the charge.
It started off strong in Tokyo, where the actor emulated the titular role without straying too far from the leather-leaning, more relaxed looks the star typically wears. Then, in London, Chalamet further embodied Willy Wonka’s flair for the dramatic in an Alexander McQueen suit with a train.
As we inch closer to what’s bound to be a somewhat confusingly pleasant experience of a film, we’re taking notes on the leading man’s best, most Wonka-fied looks, below. (Keep your eyes here for updates.)
Timothée Chalamet wears Cactus Plant Flea Market in New York on November 12
To close out his hosting gig at “Saturday Night Live,” Chalamet went for a very literal approach to “Wonka” fashion, wearing a sweatshirt that read “Oompa” on the front and “Loompa” on the back. He layered a vintage purple sherpa jacket from Levi’s over the hoodie, and completed the look with Rick Owens high-top sneakers.
Timothée Chalamet wears Avellano in Narita on November 18
For a very “Matrix”-inspired look, Chalamet wore a long leather coat as he arrived in Japan for the Tokyo premiere of “Wonka”. The actor kept things simple and monochromatic underneath, wearing a trouser-sweatpant blend from Loewe, a plain black tank and blacked-out sunglasses from Jacques Marie Mage.
Timothée Chalamet wears Prada in Tokyo on November 20
Chalamet wore a custom matching lavender shirt and trousers from Prada, translating Willy Wonka’s iconic quirky style into a red carpet moment — a look seemingly inspired by the label’s patent leather-heavy Fall 2022 Menswear collection. The Oscar nominee paired the sleek look with glossy white round-toed Chelsea boots from Bottega Veneta and stacked silver jewelry from Cartier on his hands and neck.
Timothée Chalamet wears Alexander McQueen in London on November 27
Chalamet wore a pinstriped suit with a subtle peplum shape at the waist that falls into a short train at the back — plucked from Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2024 menswear collection — at a press junket in London. He finished it off with the brand’s Wander Lace-Up Boots, dark square sunglasses and his typical stack of Cartier jewels.
