Timothée Chalamet has sent fans into a frenzy. He stepped out in New York City with a bold new look. It completely changes his signature style. The 29-year-old heartthrob was recently spotted with Kylie Jenner after a two-month hiatus. He debuted a dramatic buzzcut. This new style left social media buzzing.
The actor, known for his flowing dark waves, appeared Tuesday in Manhattan. He wore a navy sweatshirt, denim jeans, and brown boots. A blue cap partially hid his freshly shaved head. But the big reveal came later that day. He went live on Instagram. He wanted to promote his upcoming film, Marty Supreme. During the live session, he showed the world his full buzzcut.
Fans were quick to react. On X, one user exclaimed, “Almost doesn’t look like him.” Another posted, “Open Instagram and Timothée Chalamet is live and bald.” Others added playful takes. One said, “He looks like he’s about to drop the saddest indie album of the year.” Another chimed in, “Glue the hair back on now.” The responses ranged from awe to disbelief. One fan joked, “Bro looks like he’s ready for divorce and retirement.”
Chalamet’s Bold Move: Shaved Head for Film Role?
Some speculate the haircut might be for his role in Dune: Part Three. The actor offered fans a closer look during a unique Instagram Live session. This session was promoting Marty Supreme, which hits theaters on Christmas Day.
The clip opened with Chalamet inside a clear box, surrounded by orange ping-pong balls, fully hidden under a giant one. He wore a tracksuit branded for the movie. The scene included extras dressed in black, their faces also covered by ping-pong balls, creating a surreal, almost theatrical atmosphere.
Moments later, the camera zoomed in. Chalamet crawled out of the box. He removed the ping-pong ball and revealed his freshly shaved head. He walked outside wearing glasses. He maintained a serious expression. He paused briefly inside a small building. He wiped his boots before announcing the movie’s title and release date.

Social media exploded as fans expressed shock and admiration.
- “TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET IS BALD!” one user posted.
- “Take me back to the night we met,” wrote another, referencing his 2019 hit, Little Women.

Many couldn’t hide their fascination with the transformation. “He’s still fine with it omggggg,” one wrote, while another teased, “What are Kylie’s thoughts on this?”
Even before the full reveal, fans noticed the actor often covering his head with hoodies and caps, fueling speculation about the new style.
A Romantic Outing With Kylie Jenner
The buzzcut revelation comes just after Chalamet and Kylie Jenner made a public appearance together in New York City. The couple, first linked in 2023, showed off matching outfits as they attended a Marty Supreme after-party on Monday.
Chalamet kept it sleek in a black leather jacket. He wore matching trousers and a black hoodie. Jenner matched in black leather with fitted pants. She completed her look with open-toed black pumps. The beauty mogul shielded her face with her hand. This added a hint of mystery to their high-profile outing as the pair walked into the venue.
Jenner supported Chalamet earlier in the evening at the Marty Supreme premiere during the New York Film Festival. This marked one of their first public appearances together in months.

Chalamet Opens Up About the Role
In the interview, Chalamet reflected on how the role of Marty Mauser connects to his personal life. “In spirit, this is the most who I was that I’ve had to play a role. This is who I was before I had a career,” he said. He described the effort it took to reach success: “Some people stumble into success. For me, it was putting in the 10,000 hours, dropping out of college, and taking risks. It was pursuing projects that seemed untraditional, even radical when I was 20.”
He added that Marty’s journey mirrors his own: “In a sense, the story of Marty Mauser is really comparative. And so I was deeply moved by it.”
