TLDR
After losing best actor for “Marty Supreme”, Timothee Chalamet arrived at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party with Kylie Jenner, whose polished PDA turned a career setback into a carefully curated power-couple moment.
The champagne was still fizzing when Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner stepped onto the Vanity Fair Oscars Party carpet, fingers laced, eyes locked. According to Page Six, the couple could not keep their hands off each other even as Chalamet processed his best actor loss for “Marty Supreme” to Michael B. Jordan’s “Sinners”.
Chalamet, 30, did what every A-list nominee is trained to do. Cameras caught him smiling despite the disappointment, posing in an all-white Givenchy suit and instinctively reaching for Jenner’s waist as flashes erupted. The visual was clear. If he was walking away empty-handed, he was not walking away alone.
PDA as a Post-Show Statement
On the step-and-repeat, Chalamet and Jenner moved like a couple used to being watched. He palmed her hips, then pulled her in for a quick kiss before stepping aside so she could have her solo moment. Page Six reported that the Golden Globe winner had already turned heads earlier, in a white leather Chrome Hearts suit.

Jenner, 28, delivered her own narrative in fabric. Earlier in the evening, she reportedly channeled a modern Jessica Rabbit in a red Schiaparelli gown and 200 carats of diamonds. For the party, she switched into a plunging black McQueen look with a halter neck and a sharp waist cutout, the kind of gown that reads less like a reality star and more like an established Oscars mainstay.
The PDA did not feel accidental. Hollywood couples often go lower key after a loss. Chalamet and Jenner appeared to lean in instead, presenting a united, glamorous front that kept them at the center of the post-show conversation, even without a trophy in his hand.
A Season of Red Carpets
The Vanity Fair party was the latest beat in a full awards-season rollout. Jenner has been on Chalamet’s arm for months, a recurring presence at screenings, ceremonies, and after-parties as his “Marty Supreme” campaign gathered steam.
According to Page Six, he repeatedly worked her into his speeches. At the Critics’ Choice Awards in January, Chalamet reportedly told the room, “I would like to say thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I could not do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
The following week at the Golden Globes, he kept it simple, saying, “To my parents and my partner, I love you. Thank you so much.” For an actor once defined by indie cool and intense privacy, the public declarations marked a decisive shift toward couple-as-brand.
Power Couple in the Making
Jenner has been just as careful with the storyline. In a recent Vanity Fair interview, she was asked about the red-carpet affection and award-show shout-outs. The Kardashian veteran reportedly blushed before admitting that “of course it is fun”, a small line that still signaled comfort with their romance living in the spotlight.
The pair, who have been linked since 2023, have reportedly discussed marriage and children in private circles, though nothing has been officially announced. What is visible is the choreography. His prestige projects and awards momentum sit alongside her beauty empire and reality legacy, creating a partnership that plays across film, fashion, and social media.
On Oscar night, the story was not the statue that slipped away. It was the image that remained. A young actor in white, a mogul in sculpted black, hands intertwined on the most-watched carpet of the year. Even in a losing year, the Timothee-and-Kylie narrative is only getting bigger.
Do public, carefully staged moments like this make you feel more invested in a Hollywood couple, or do you prefer your favorite stars to keep their romances off the red carpet?
