The Tamesis
Given the surreal nature of last year’s awards show – when she endured frigid temperatures that forced celebrities to sweat profusely on the red carpet, a “Greatest Day” performance, and host David Tennant comparing her to lookalikes – you might reasonably think Kylie Jenner would chalk the Baftas a nightmare and move on. However, she’s back, returning to the scene of the crime to support Timothée Chalamet in his bid for Best Actor. (She must like him very much!)
Since debuting during the 2024 Golden Globes, Jenner’s red carpet presence has been as relentless as any studio campaign. She sat next to Chalamet and him at the 2025 Golden Globes Completely unknown The co-star’s vintage chainmail dress from Versace drew immediate comparisons to Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant. four weddings and a funeral Premiered in 1994. Later, Balenciaga designed a shimmering Pre-Fall 2024 gown for the 2025 Berlin Film Festival; a custom Miu Miu sheath dress studded with black caviar beads for the 2025 Oscars; and a spaghetti-clad Schiaparelli made her red carpet debut at the 2025 David di Donatello Awards.

Back to Hurley: If that axed, safely pinned column—notable enough to warrant its own Wikipedia page—proved that red carpet fashion can inspire recognition as much as the movies it helps promote, Jenner’s column has shown that the two can actively support each other. Think of his and her orange Chrome Hearts at the Los Angeles premiere of Chrome Hearts Marty Supre The copper sequined Ludovic de Saint Sernin dress she wore to the Palm Springs International Film Festival in December 2025, or shortly after. Since then, a fall 1996 Gianni Versace haute couture gown has appeared at the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards, and a waist-tailored Ashi Studio gown has appeared at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards. Chalamet may be tonight’s nominee for Best Actor, but Jenner is already a perfect lock for Best Hype Female.
