Timothée Chalamet is one of the most talented actors of his generation. Despite being comparatively new to the business, he has become one of the most recognized names in the world, having an impressive amount of versatility in his acting portfolio.
Though these attributes have made him incredibly successful, there is one thing that is often made fun of; his fashion sense. It is brought up frequently due to the lack of effort that is put into the outfits worn by Chalamet, not only with respect to streetwear, but also on the red carpet.
This is especially highlighted when he is doing press rounds with his Dune co-star, Zendaya. Ironically enough, the pair showed up wearing something similar at one such event, which resulted in the Wonka actor getting trolled by fans.
Zendaya’s Fashion Legacy Clashes With Timothée Chalamet
Zendaya is known for many things across Hollywood, but one of the biggest factors that makes her as unique and iconic as she is is her fashion sense. On top of never disappointing her fans when it comes to her wardrobe, she has a signature habit of pairing her outfits with the themes of whatever project she is working on at the time.
While this has only added to her ‘it girl’ status, unfortunately, standing next to her at these events may not be the most fun thing. Timothée Chalamet is the biggest example of this, with him now having a reputation for having safe and mundane fashion choices.
Recently, Chalamet and the Euphoria actress made an appearance at an event in Seoul, South Korea. It would seem that the pair were made to wear similar outfits as both were seen adorning the same tracksuit, with the only clear difference being the color. The similarity has prompted fans to troll the Wonka actor.
Timothée Chalamet Gets Brutally Trolled
Ashley K on X posted a picture of Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya standing side by side at this event, where they added comments on what they think transpired behind the scenes to lead to the matching outfits. They joked that the actor called the actress beforehand to ask her what she was wearing so that they could twin. The comment led to many adding on what they think about the ‘imitation’.

Some fans joked that the actor wore his outfit in a certain way to show spectators how it should not be worn. Many made fun of how despite knowing what he would be competing with, Chalamet was unable to meet the standard set by Zendaya.
While it would not be far-fetched to assume that the matching outfits were planned, it has not exempt Chalamet from the wrath of the Euphoria actress’s fandom.
