Marty Supreme: Chalamet’s Cartier Necklace and Solo Red-Carpet Strategy Dominate Actor Awards Night
Timothée Chalamet arrived at the 32nd Actor Awards at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall on March 1 for his run with marty supreme, walking the red carpet with his mother, Nicole Flender, rather than his longtime partner. The appearance underscored two threads running through his awards season: a repeat of signature styling and a carefully calibrated public presence that keeps attention focused on his work.
Marty Supreme: the necklace, the numbers and the awards-season momentum
Chalamet wore a Panthère de Cartier necklace on the carpet — a piece listed at $33, 000 that is crafted in 18K white gold, set with 189 brilliant-cut diamonds and one emerald. He has chosen the same Cartier pendant at multiple events this season, including the Golden Globes, where he took home best actor, the Critics’ Choice Awards, and the AFI Awards Luncheon. Those wins have accompanied his campaign for Marty Supreme, which has already earned him a Golden Globe and a Critics’ Choice Award for the role and a surprise BAFTA loss to Robert Aramayo.
Beyond individual prizes, the film’s ensemble is also in contention: Chalamet and the Marty Supreme cast are nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at the Actor Awards. A victory in the individual male-actor category would carry historical weight: a win tonight would make him the first actor to claim back-to-back prizes in this ceremony’s best-actor slot and only the second person to win the award more than once, joining Daniel Day-Lewis.
What makes this notable is how consistently physical symbols — the necklace, the color palettes tied to the film’s imagery and repeated sartorial choices — have become shorthand for Chalamet’s awards-season identity, linking personal branding to measurable recognition on the awards circuit.
Shrine Auditorium red carpet: style choices, company and stakes
On March 1 at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles, Chalamet opted for a cream Prada jacket paired with black trousers, foregoing a tie and wearing a silver chain beneath his collar. He posed with his mother, Nicole Flender, rather than arriving with Kylie Jenner, who has accompanied him inside at other events this season. Kristen Bell hosted the ceremony, where Chalamet faced nominees Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Ethan Hawke and Jesse Plemons in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role category.
Chalamet’s history with the Actor Awards predates this year: he has accumulated 10 nominations over the years and secured his first win at the 2025 ceremony. This season’s multiple nominations — both individual and ensemble — have kept the actor front and center on the awards circuit, while the repeated presence of high-value jewelry and coordinated red-carpet pairings with Jenner at other shows have drawn attention to the interplay between personal style and awards campaigning.
