Timothée Chalamet Praised for Devotion to Kylie Jenner at Victoria's Secret Show
Actor captured on video appearing to ignore other models while enthusiastically supporting Jenner during her runway debut.
Timothée Chalamet garnered significant online attention and praise for his apparent devotion to girlfriend Kylie Jenner during the recent Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Video clips circulating on social media show the Oscar nominee seemingly engrossed in his phone while other models walked the runway. However, when Jenner, who was making her runway debut, appeared wearing the coveted $50 million Fantasy Bra, Chalamet was seen clapping and cheering enthusiastically.
The viral clip, originally posted by @victoriaparis, was re-shared by fan accounts with captions highlighting the contrast in Chalamet's attention. Commenters widely interpreted his actions as a display of strong support and affection, with many remarking on the couple's relationship.
Chalamet, 30, was seated in the front row alongside Jenner's mother, Kris Jenner, and her partner Corey Gamble. Kris Jenner was also seen documenting the moment with her phone.
The Victoria's Secret brand itself acknowledged the moment, commenting on a shared post with a variation of Kris Jenner's memorable line to Kim Kardashian: "You’re doing amazing, sweetie! 2026 version."
Jenner's appearance in the Fantasy Bra, valued at $50 million and featuring a prominent yellow diamond centerpiece, marked a significant moment as she became the first non-Victoria's Secret Angel to model the piece. The bra, which took over 1,000 hours to create by 15 artisans, is reportedly made entirely of gold and diamonds, with no fabric.
However, Jenner's selection for the iconic bra also drew some criticism from fans who questioned the decision, particularly given her status as a non-Angel and her prior lack of runway experience with the brand. Some commenters expressed that the choice was disrespectful to veteran models who have previously worn the Fantasy Bra. Historically, the bra has been worn by supermodels such as Gisele Bündchen, Heidi Klum, and Adriana Lima.
Victoria's Secret chief creative officer Adam Selman explained the choice to Vogue, stating that Jenner was selected because she "extends beyond fashion, beyond culture, beyond TV, beyond one singular thing." He added that the show's theme was "fandomonium" and that pairing the Fantasy Bra with an "unexpected talent who has a massive following and massive cultural impact" aligned with that concept.
Jenner, 29, later shared her own excitement on Instagram Stories, posting a close-up of herself in the bra with the caption "best day ever" and images of her preparation.
Chalamet and Jenner have reportedly been in a relationship for three years.
