Timothée Chalamet appeared to pay tribute to Kylie Jenner at the 2026 Actor Awards despite attending the ceremony without her.

The 30-year-old actor walked the red carpet at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 1, alongside his mother, Nicole Flender. While Jenner was absent from the event, fans noted that Chalamet wore a Panthère de Cartier necklace valued at $33,000, similar to a piece previously worn by the reality star.

The necklace features a full-body panther pendant and matches jewellery Jenner showcased on social media in December, prompting speculation it had been a gift from Chalamet. Observers interpreted his choice of accessory as a subtle acknowledgement of their relationship.

Chalamet was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal in Marty Supreme. However, the award went to Michael B Jordan for his performance in Sinners. Despite the loss, Chalamet has enjoyed awards season success, previously winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and the Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Actor for the same role.

At the Critics’ Choice Awards, he said, “Thank you to my partner of three years. I love you.” During his Golden Globes speech, he added, “For my parents, for my partner, I love you. Thank you so much.”
