Timothée Chalamet’s unique fashion statement at the ‘Wonka’ premiere speaks volumes about his distinct style.

Timothée Chalamet has been making waves in his quest to redefine Willy Wonka for a new generation. At the Los Angeles premiere for “Wonka,” he sported a custom dark brown Tom Ford crocodile suit that quite literally resembled a bar of rich, 80% cacao content dark chocolate. The ensemble featured a sleek single-breasted blazer layered over a black mock neck, complemented by slim-fitting pants. Chalamet elevated the look further with black alligator boots, also from Tom Ford. Not one to skimp on accessories, he showcased pieces from Cartier, including a substantial ring on his index finger, a Juste un Clou ring on his right ring finger, and a diamond-inlaid Panthère de Cartier bracelet—all in gold, paying homage to the allure of the Golden Tickets.

While many stars are diving into “method dressing,” Chalamet maintains his distinct style on the red carpet and in press appearances. He steers clear of merging himself entirely with the character he portrays, opting instead for outfits that represent Timothée Chalamet rather than Willy Wonka. His choices range from a chainmail tank top to a latex trench coat and a black pinstriped Alexander McQueen suit. However, this doesn’t mean he shies away from subtle references to his predecessors. For instance, at the London premiere, his magenta velvet Tom Ford suit seemed to nod to a middle ground between Gene Wilder’s original 1971 Willy Wonka and Johnny Depp’s 2005 interpretation.

Rihanna’s fashion choices, from her Swarovski naked dress to a custom Loewe jumpsuit at the Super Bowl, consistently push boundaries. Her ability to surprise and captivate remains unparalleled.While vintage Dior pearls may be out of reach, incorporating style cues from Rihanna is feasible. Emulate her by adding a budget-friendly pearl necklace to your outfit for under $100. Follow her lead by experimenting with a sheer top paired with relaxed-fit jeans (like the AGOLDE pair suggested here). Layer it all with a maxi coat and finish with chunky sneakers reminiscent of Rihanna’s style—there you have
