The 2025 Oscars were a whirlwind of fashion statements and future forecasts, and Timothée Chalamet was at the center of it all. From his red carpet look to speculation about his Oscar win, Chalamet kept everyone talking.
A Pastel Nod to BTS?
Chalamet's choice of attire for the evening raised eyebrows and sparked a playful debate. The Best Actor nominee graced the red carpet in a butter-colored pastel outfit. 
Was it a coincidence, or was Chalamet taking cues from the K-pop sensation BTS? The internet certainly seemed to think so.
The look was definitely season-defining. Alongside Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez, Chalamet made a splash as one of the best dressed of the night. But the comparisons didn't stop there.
The DiCaprio Dilemma
Beyond the fashion frenzy, a more somber, yet humorous, comparison emerged. Social media lit up with parallels between Chalamet and Leonardo DiCaprio. The joke? Chalamet might have to wait a *long* time before finally taking home a Best Actor award.
One popular take suggested we "get ready to celebrate his best actor win in 2037." Ouch! 
While clearly tongue-in-cheek, the sentiment reflects the often unpredictable nature of awards season.
It's worth noting that Chalamet's presence at the Oscars also connects him to other projects. He stars alongside Monica Barbaro in the Oscar-nominated film "Like a Complete Unknown," where he plays Bob Dylan. Barbaro, portraying Joan Baez, faced her own challenges in embodying such an iconic figure, but the buzz around the film keeps Chalamet in the spotlight.
The Waiting Game
Ultimately, whether inspired by BTS or destined for a DiCaprio-esque Oscar journey, Timothée Chalamet continues to captivate audiences. Only time will tell when (or if!) he'll finally clutch that golden statue. For now, the internet will keep the memes coming. 
As for the pastel suit? We'll let you be the judge.
