Under the Roman sky, where ancient artistry meets modern glamour, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet finally put speculation to rest, stepping hand-in-hand onto the red carpet at the 70th David di Donatello Awards—and igniting a media frenzy in the process.
After nearly two years of flying under the radar, the reality-TV mogul-turned-beauty-tycoon and the Oscar-nominated heartthrob made their relationship red carpet official at the iconic Cinecittà Studios on May 7, 2025. The occasion? A celebration of cinema, where Chalamet received the coveted David for Cinematic Excellence in recognition of his powerhouse performances in Dune: Part Two and A Complete Unknown.
A Fashion and Film Fusion
Kylie, 27, turned heads in a dramatic black Schiaparelli gown dripping in crystal embellishments and paired with bold gold accents and a regal updo—an ensemble that screamed high fashion Roman drama. Chalamet, 29, countered her flair with quiet sophistication, donning a black velvet double-breasted suit accentuated by a single white floral brooch, embodying his signature blend of classic and unconventional.
Their chemistry was palpable. Holding hands and exchanging knowing glances, they turned the red carpet into a shared stage—equal parts movie magic and modern romance.
Behind the Scenes and Subtle Statements
Before their stunning debut, Jenner teased her 393 million Instagram followers with exclusive behind-the-scenes content: close-ups of her intricate Schiaparelli earrings, sultry makeup, and quiet moments of anticipation. The aesthetic? Luxe, intimate, and intentional.
Just days prior, Jenner had attended the Met Gala solo, stirring whispers about the couple’s status—especially after fans spotted Chalamet watching an NBA game instead of gracing fashion’s biggest night. But Rome told a different story. This was no stunt. This was a statement.
From Private to Public
Their timeline stretches back to April 2023, with sightings at the US Open, intimate dates, and even backstage at Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour. While both stars have maintained a preference for privacy, insiders suggest their bond is serious, supportive, and stable, blending the worlds of haute couture and Hollywood with striking ease.
A Romance Worth Watching
In stepping out together in Rome, Jenner and Chalamet didn’t just pose—they claimed their place as pop culture’s new power pair, seamlessly merging red carpet glamour with silver screen prestige. As she stood beside a man being honored for his cinematic brilliance, and he alongside a woman dominating beauty and business, the message was clear:
They’re not just dating. They’re debuting. And the world is watching.
