Timothée Chalamet is seriously considering a big move into fashion, with talks underway for him to become the new face of Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand.
The Dune star, who’s also dating Kim’s sister Kylie Jenner, is weighing an offer reportedly worth $1.2 million to become an ambassador for the shapewear and loungewear line. Sources close to the actor say Kylie is fully backing the deal, urging Timothée to boost his image and become one of the most recognizable and impactful actors in the world, and this Skims partnership could be a perfect start.
Kim Kardashian is very keen to have Timothée on board to help expand Skims’ presence in both the U.S. and Europe. As a French-American star with rising popularity, she believes his involvement will not only elevate the brand but also turn him into a fashion icon. When Kim first pitched the idea earlier this year, Timothée reportedly thought she was joking, but now he’s taking it seriously. They’ve been in close contact, with Timothee eager to learn all about Skims’ future plans and the upcoming collection set to drop at the end of summer.
The insider reveals that Kylie is playing a big role in this. She’s pushing Timothee to accept the offer because she thinks the collaboration is a perfect match. Beyond just the fashion deal, Kylie is helping Timothée work on his image and encouraging him to embrace the spotlight more fully. She envisions them as a power couple, not only making waves in Hollywood but also in the business world. Kylie’s advice has Timothee thinking bigger, aiming to make history with his films and also secure lucrative brand deals.
While there’s excitement around this potential partnership, it’s not without family drama. Timothee’s sister Pauline and other relatives reportedly disapprove of his relationship with Kylie, creating tension. Despite this, Timothée is said to love the Kardashian family and holds Kim in high regard, calling her one of the best entrepreneurs and businesswomen out there. The ongoing talks about improving his image and cementing his status as an icon have brought them closer professionally.
On the personal front, Timothee and Kylie have been shopping for luxury properties in Europe as they plan to establish a base there, reflecting their growing commitment. Reports also say Timothee is planning to propose to Kylie soon, having chosen a $300,000 ring crafted in Paris. Still, sources say the relationship between Timothee and his sister Pauline is strained due to her disapproval of Kylie, marking a low point in their family ties.
If Timothée does sign on as a Skims ambassador, it would be a major win for Kim’s brand, especially with a fresh face who appeals to both Hollywood and European markets. For Timothee, it’s an opportunity to step beyond acting and into the fashion world with full backing from his girlfriend and one of the biggest names in entertainment. The next few weeks will be crucial as the actor weighs this multi-year deal and what it could mean for his career and public image.
