Look of the Week: Timothée Chalamet wears shirtless suit at ‘Wonka’ premiere

Editor’s Note: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, ‘Look of the Week’ is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days. CNN — Timothée Chalamet braved London’s icy breeze with white-knuckles and a bare-chest for the premiere of his new movie “Wonka.” Dressed in a magenta velvet suit from Tom Ford’s Spring-Summer 2024 collection, Chalamet’s torso peaked out from behind the lapels. “I don’t know what the hell I was doing wearing this.” But Chalamet has long relied on the wow factor of a shirtless suit for red carpet engagements. Dior, Dries Van Noten, Thom Browne, Paul Smith and Zegna have similarly sent shirtless suits down the runway, and earlier this year men’s luxury retailer Mr. Porter published a style guide on how to “go commando” — as they dubbed the look — under a suit. In Gaultier’s infamous Spring-Summer 1996 collection, titled “Pin-Up Boys,” the shirtless suit was gauche, cheesy and even funny.
