Photos of Timothée Chalamet in a Paris Hotel Lobby Erupt Online Because of Who He Was With

Photos of the actor in a Paris hotel — and the person next to him — are exactly why everyone is talking. As viral posts and fan reactions collided, new context quickly reshaped the narrative.

Timothée Chalamet's Paris hotel stop turned heads after photos captured by The XO Show on X featured him alongside French-Romanian actress Anamaria Vartolomei inside the lobby.

The intrigue intensified after a since-deleted X post suggested the sighting hinted at more, pulling Chalamet's relationship with "The Kardashians" star Kylie Jenner into the conversation and igniting backlash before the post vanished.

Context and Timeline Clarified

A follow-up breakdown shared by blogger Stephanie Tleiji later clarified the timeline in an Instagram post, noting that the moment had been misinterpreted online and unfairly framed.

Further context emerged through Instagram videos from photographer-videographer AMAR Taoualit, which show Chalamet leaving the hotel with a group of friends earlier in the evening and returning alone later — a sequence that challenged the cheating narrative entirely.

But explanations did little to slow the reaction already unfolding online.

Netizens Push Back Online

Still, the discourse remained heated, especially on X. One commenter said: "so any friend timothee is hanging out with means he's cheating on kylie? go to hell [sic]."

Another added, "you can literally see her in this video 😭 why would he cheat on kylie in the middle of a press tour y’all sound dumb and bitter i'm sorry [sic]." Someone else stated, "There was no need to mention Kylie, you disgusting parasites."

Others echoed similar frustration on Instagram. One person wrote, "Haha! I will say the picture got me ..I was like if that face doesn't say 😯 i got caught..To see the video play out." Another chimed in, "The media will spin the narrative whatever way they choose. Disgusting."

As the debate grew, attention shifted from the rumors to the woman in question.

The Actress at the Center of the Photos

While much of the attention centered on Chalamet, Vartolomei brings a well-established film career of her own, having worked in the industry since childhood.

Born in 1999 in Bacău, Romania, Vartolomei moved to France at age six after her parents left to work abroad, a turning point she described as life-changing in an interview with Cultura la dubă.

She was discovered at 12 and made her feature debut in "My Little Princess" (2011), starring opposite Isabelle Huppert. She later gained wider attention for her role in "Just Kids" (2019), before earning a César Award for her performance in "Happening" (2021).

Reflecting on the kinds of roles she chooses, Vartolomei spoke about her approach to acting in a 2025 interview with Cultured Mag. "My films are expressions of my politics," she said. "I want to be nourished by the kinds of women I play, which is maybe why I gravitate toward bold and ambitious characters."

Additional onscreen credits include "Being Maria" (2024), "The Count of Monte-Cristo" (2024), "Traffic" (2024), "Mickey 17" (2025), and the TV series "The Seduction" (2025), according to IMDb.

Her growing visibility comes at a time when public attention around Chalamet remains constant.

What the Actor Thinks About Settling Down

Chalamet, meanwhile, has acknowledged how closely his personal life is scrutinized.

In a February 2026 interview with Variety, he joked about the topic when asked if he would ever get married, replying, "Wow, that's so personal," before adding with a smile, "Yeah, no — you're going to get me in trouble, man."

The moment reflects a broader stretch of high-profile moments for Chalamet and Jenner.

As previously reported, what looked like a spontaneous fashion moment was anything but. When Chalamet and Jenner stepped out in bright, attention-grabbing outfits at the "Marty Supreme" premiere, they did more than steal the spotlight.

They unveiled a vision that had been quietly taking shape well before the premiere.

A Bold, Coordinated Look on Premiere Night

On December 8, 2025, Chalamet and Jenner arrived at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills for the Los Angeles premiere of "Marty Supreme," and they made a bold entrance in matching orange.

Chalamet wore a head-to-toe leather suit in a vivid orange tone, styled with a buttoned-up shirt and chunky platform boots in the same shade.

A round black crossbody bag with a sculptural design added contrast to the monochrome look. Jenner coordinated in a form-fitting, backless cutout gown featuring a plunging neckline and side ties at the waist. Her loose hair and jewelry kept the attention on the gown's dramatic silhouette.

Side by side, the two created a striking visual moment. Their highly stylized looks instantly captured media attention and dominated fashion coverage from the night.

To the public, it was a standout red carpet appearance. But to those familiar with the film's creative development, the shared color palette echoed ideas Chalamet had outlined weeks earlier during a closed-door strategy session.

The Creative Strategy That Made the Color Iconic

On November 18, Chalamet held a Zoom meeting with A24's creative team. He opened the conversation by asking which recent movie campaigns had stood out. The team mentioned "Oppenheimer," then "Barbie," the latter caught his attention.

He pointed out how the film's use of pink had become unavoidable during its rollout. It wasn't just a theme; it was everywhere. That level of visual recognition, Chalamet said, was exactly what he wanted for "Marty Supreme."

But instead of pink, he chose orange, not a bright or playful shade, but one that felt specific and emotional. He used terms like hardcore orange, corroded orange, and rusted orange to describe a palette that leaned gritty, aged, and intentionally imperfect.

Chalamet wanted the color to trigger recognition in the audience. He told the team, "If it's orange now, you're thinking Marty Supreme." He shared a file labeled "GREAT IDEA 1," which included a mockup developed with a visual artist over six months.

The color in the image was exactly what he wanted across all posters, digital assets, and promotional materials. He wanted people to associate that orange with the film before they even saw the title.

He also asked the team to think about American symbols. They mentioned the bald eagle and the flag. Chalamet suggested the Statue of Liberty. He imagined it in the same orange tone, offering a fresh way to connect American iconography to the emotional core of the film.

At the premiere, that vision came to life. Jenner, who is not involved in the film's cast or production, appeared in a gown that matched Chalamet's palette exactly. From an internal brainstorm to a global red carpet debut, orange now serves as the unofficial signature of "Marty Supreme."

The Beverly Hills premiere wasn't the couple's first time wearing matching outfits together. Back in May 2025, Chalamet and Jenner wore similar outfits at the 70th David di Donatello Awards in Rome. Their coordinated look quickly sparked buzz across social media.

At the event held on May 7, "The Kardashians" star wore a black evening gown featuring a textured floral pattern and a halter neckline. She completed the look with gold earrings, a small clutch, and a sleek hairstyle that accentuated the gown’s elegance.

Standing beside Jenner, Chalamet wore a double-breasted black velvet suit layered over a black shirt, accented with a white floral pin on his lapel. Their coordinated fashion choices appeared deliberately styled, offering a unified yet distinct aesthetic.

The Outfits That Set Social Media Ablaze

The appearance quickly became a talking point online, with one eagle-eyed netizen suggesting that Jenner looked old enough to be Chalamet's mother. A second remarked, "She looks way older ! Like a big sister, awkward."

Another speculated about a possible pregnancy, pointing to Chalamet's hand placement as a suggestive gesture. A fourth questioned the pose, "He's holding her stomach. Is she pregnant?"

Elsewhere, someone noted, "Can see a baby ☺ ❤️ [sic]," while a different netizen praised the gesture, "The way he's holding her like 'yeah she mine, I did that' 🔥."

One commenter envisioned a future for the couple, gushing over how beautiful their children would be. Another simply adored their relationship, noting that they complement each other perfectly. Another admirer chimed in, saying they looked "very nice" together.
