Timothée Chalamet Cheers Kylie Jenner's Victoria's Secret Debut
Chalamet and Kris Jenner supported Jenner as she modeled the $50 million Fantasy Bra, making her the first non-Angel to wear the piece.
Timothée Chalamet was seen cheering for his girlfriend Kylie Jenner as she made a surprise runway appearance at the Victoria's Secret Show in Culver City, California. Jenner debuted the iconic diamond-encrusted $50 million Fantasy Bra to close the show, marking her first runway appearance for the brand and making history as the first non-Victoria's Secret Angel to wear the statement piece.
Chalamet, seated with Jenner's mother Kris Jenner, who was documenting the event with her phone, reportedly whooped from the sidelines as Jenner's silhouette was revealed. Kris Jenner's boyfriend, Corey Gamble, also attended to support Jenner. The moment quickly gained traction on social media, with Victoria's Secret referencing a memorable line from Kris Jenner: "You're doing amazing, sweetie."
Despite the celebratory atmosphere, Jenner's selection to wear the Fantasy Bra, which features a $22 million yellow diamond centerpiece and thousands of other natural diamonds, drew some backlash from fans who noted her status as a non-Angel. Previous models of the Fantasy Bra include Gisele Bündchen, Heidi Klum, and Adriana Lima.
Jenner's ensemble included a sheer miniskirt, silver panties, clear heels, and white wings. After the show, she shared her excitement on Instagram Stories, posting a close-up of herself in the bra with the caption "best day ever." She also shared a photo of herself in the brand's signature pink robe while preparing for the runway.
Victoria's Secret chief creative officer Adam Selman explained Jenner's casting to Vogue, stating that she "really extends beyond fashion, beyond culture, beyond TV, beyond one singular thing." He added that the brand's "big idea for the show was fandomonium" and that Jenner, with her massive following and cultural impact, was an "unexpected talent" to pair with the Fantasy Bra.
Designer Jacob Arabo noted the technical challenges of crafting the bra, which is made entirely of gold and diamonds without fabric, to ensure it moved naturally with the body.
The Victoria's Secret Show returned to Los Angeles for the first time in 19 years and featured a lineup of models including Gigi and Bella Hadid, Adriana Lima, Elsa Hosk, and Barbara Palvin. Musical performances included Megan Thee Stallion and Tate McRae. The event also highlighted the debut of Victoria's Secret's newest Angel, Solange Omon, discovered through the brand's YouTube series "Angels Among Us."
This marked the third year of the show's return following a six-year hiatus that had previously put the brand's future in question. However, the event was not without controversy, as some notable models were absent from the show's lineup.
