Timothée Chalamet has been one of those Tinseltown stars who has become the talk of the town in the past year, but the fodder has not just been his anticipated projects. From turning heads with his romantic affair with Kylie Jenner to his stunning fans by channeling Ye (formerly Kanye West) in couture spirits, Chalamet has treaded the lines of unpredictability more than once. But with each passing day, the actor turns a new page of uncertainty, and this time, as well, his lines of fashion jaw-drops left the Internet in a frenzy.

Timothée Chalamet has officially shed his black beauty locks for a blonde makeover to turn the upcoming cinematic experience all the more real for the viewers. He arrived at the New York City premiere of A Complete Unknown with a dramatic new blonde hairstyle, dropping jaws to the floor left and right with his spectacular invocation of Bob Dylan. The actor, who plays Bob Dylan in the biopic, sported blonde bangs underneath a blue beanie hat while boasting a thin mustache and goatee. 

Besides his new and unexpected hairdo, Timothée Chalamet walked the red carpet in an oversized gray scarf, styled over a red-and-blue plaid shirt paired against a black leather jacket and matching gloves for A Complete Unknown’s premiere on December 13. The advent of Blonde Chalamet is a direct nod to Bob Dylan’s 2003 Sundance Film Festival look, rightly reincarnated from the colors of his clothing to the minute stylistic details.

Although Timothée Chalamet’s Ye cosplay was far from a hit for the fans, this one garnered even more mixed reactions.

Shedding new skin and slipping into the new is bread and butter for actors. However, knowing the critical standpoint that never spares them from the backlash, Timothée Chalamet’s red carpet homage to Bob Dylan from A Complete Unknown’s New York premiere had many polarized. While the ones who knew the reason behind the transformation welcomed the change with open arms, others were too confined to boxing the efforts into negativity.

Some fans were unsparing in cracking jokes about his “stunning” methods, while others gave him the pats for doing his character justice, on and off-screen.

There were fans who were quick on their sleuthing arms, endorsing the Bob Dylan homage without missing a beat. However, a lot too many were busy sniffing what was “ugly” in his appearance and, of course, the hair. Although there are countless such examples of fans refusing starry switches even when they adhere to the obligations of their work, this one was a whole new testament of fan rejection before allowing Chalamet his cinematic shot.
