Timothée Chalamet made a bold statement at the 'Dune: Part Two' premiere in Paris by donning a silver Givenchy breastplate on the red carpet. The 28-year-old 'Wonka' star appeared at first glance to be wearing a traditional black suit with a shiny shirt. However, upon closer inspection, it became apparent that he was actually sporting a shining metal breastplate underneath his jacket. This custom-made copper piece was inspired by a fall/winter 2018 Givenchy couture look.

The exquisite breastplate, reflecting shades of red and orange, was meticulously fashioned by hand by skilled Parisian artisans. It featured a mock turtleneck-style shape, adding a unique touch to Chalamet's already eye-catching ensemble. Paired with black boots, the actor confidently posed for photographers, exuding both style and confidence.

True to his fashion-forward reputation, Chalamet complemented his precious metal look with his signature curly hair, adding a pair of black sunglasses, a Cartier ring, and a Cartier watch as accessories. This is not the first time the actor has donned a Cartier piece, as he previously wore a dazzling custom candy-inspired gemstone necklace for the premiere of 'Wonka' in London last year.

During a daytime photocall with the movie's cast, Chalamet opted for a more understated look. He wore a pair of brown leather pants, paired with a simple black turtleneck. In contrast, his co-star Zendaya, who has also embraced the trend of wearing breastplates, chose a 3D-printed wool Alaïa dress with bold wraparound cutouts for the daytime event. Later, she switched into a futuristic custom Louis Vuitton two-piece gold set.

With the highly anticipated release of 'Dune: Part Two' tomorrow, Chalamet's fashion choices are sure to continue captivating and intriguing fans. It seems that the actor is unafraid to push boundaries and explore otherworldly fashion, making him a true style icon in the industry. As we eagerly anticipate his next red carpet appearance, we can't wait to see what daring fashion statements he will make in the future.
