Kylie Jenner Secretly Attends the 2025 BAFTAs With Timothée Chalamet in a Backless Black Gown

She skipped the carpet, but still made headlines.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are officially the worst sneaky link in history. Throughout the 2025 award show season, Jenner has routinely skipped red carpets in order to support her man without stealing the spotlight—first at the Golden Globes, then the Berlin premiere of A Complete Unknown.

Even so, as one of the most famous celebrities in the world, it's virtually impossible for Jenner to truly go incognito. The cameras always find her, rendering any attempts at anonymity futile.

The same was true at the 2025 British Academy Film Awards in London on Feb. 16, which saw Jenner and Chalamet hand-in-hand, in matching black ensembles. Though the makeup mogul opted out of the step-and-repeat, yet again, her outfit warranted media attention. She wore a low-cut (and backless) LBD with a spaghetti strap halter neck, which was embellished with oversized noir sequins. It's vintage John Galliano circa 1995, to be exact.

Styled by Mackenzie and Alexandra Grandquist, Jenner's vintage look featured minimal accessories (by billionaire standards). She wore only Cartier diamond rings and a few glamorous studs, which matched her glitzy Amina Muaddi sandals perfectly.

The two were perfectly in sync, with Chalamet also dressed in all-black, with diamond details. Breaking his kooky method dressing streak, the actor chose a two-piece, double-breasted suit from Bottega Veneta, which he layered over a simple T-shirt.

He added a single element of whimsy, via a double-strand diamond necklace fitted with a pavé panther. The Panthère de Cartier creation costs nearly a quarter of a million dollars, ringing in at $246,000 (plus tax).

With jewelry like that, even Kylie Jenner couldn't have upstaged him.
