Kylie Jenner has been extremely private when it comes to her romance with A-list actor Timothee Chalamet.
But fans of of the billionaire makeup mogul, 26, are convinced that they’ve spotted a nod to Chalamet, 29, in a new ‘sneak peek’ for Hulu’s The Kardashians.
The clip, which was posted Wednesday, begins with Kylie standing in front of a desert-like backdrop while dressed in a skintight nude frock with a hood.
The look was reminiscent of the futuristic costumes worn by Chalamet and his co-stars in the blockbuster sci-fi film Dune 2.
The sequel directed by Denis Villeneuve is the highest-grossing film of 2024 and sees Chalamet take top billing as supreme warrior Paul Atreides.
‘Kylie in her Dune era… ,’ commented one fan, who received over 600 ‘likes’ from others in agreement.
Another wrote: ‘It’s giving dune [heart-eyes emoji]’
The warrior-like yet minimalist look that defines the ‘dune-core’ aesthetic rose to popularity before the sequel even hit theaters on March 1.
Chalamet, Zendaya and Florence Pugh put the trend front and center by hitting red carpet in elevated versions of outfits seen in the Dune universe.
‘Dune-core’ is characterized by its earthy, neutral color scheme, functionality and elegant draping with a sporty edge.
Kylie’s sand-toned dress checks all the boxes with its flattering ruching, halter neckline and attached hood.
It’s a clear stray away from the mother-of-two’s typical sexy style that often consists of bikini tops, PVC dresses and ab-baring catsuits.
Timothee and Kylie’s unlikely romance reportedly kicked off in January 2023 after the duo met at a Paris Fashion Week event.
Weeks before they met, Kylie had called it quits with Travis Scott, 33, after five years of on/off dating. They share two kids: daughter Stormi, five, and son Aire, two.
Kylie and Timothee did not publicly confirm their romance until September 2023 when they were seen kissing at a Beyonce concert in LA.
She supported the leading man at the Los Angeles premiere of his film Wonka in December 2023 and she was also his date to the 2024 Golden Globes in January.
In the months that followed, Kylie and Timothee became the topic of both breakup and pregnancy speculation.
The pregnancy rumors took off last month when comedian Daniel Tosh, 48, made the claim on his Tosh Show podcast.
‘Here’s something crazy. I went to the grocery store in Malibu, and I was talking to an employee there. I try to avoid it but I was talking to this guy, and I said, “Why were you guys closed yesterday?”‘
‘”Well I’m not supposed to discuss it,”‘ Tosh claims the worker responded, alleging the Kardashian-Jenner crew were filming the Season 5 finale of their show at the store.
‘Spoiler alert. This random grocery store person is telling me that they rented out the entire store, shut it down and then, they acted like they were grocery shopping.’
‘This was the scene that apparently happened — Kylie reveals that she’s pregnant again with Timothee’s kid. What a bombshell,’ he added.
Tosh added that he wasn’t validating the story: ‘I’m not verifying anything. This is what an employee at a grocery store in Malibu told me.’
But a source told Us Weekly that Kylie and Timothee are not expecting a child together despite the rumors.
‘Kylie is not pregnant,’ insiders told told the outlet in April.
The sources also confirmed that the couple are ‘still dating’ and navigating a long distance relationship.
Kylie currently lives in California with her kids while Timothee has been busy shooting A Complete Unknown — a biopic about Bob Dylan — in New York City and New Jersey.
‘Kylie and Timothee have been keeping in touch while he’s been in [Manhattan] filming and are still together,’ the insider explained.
Soon after, Kylie debunked the pregnancy rumors herself by showing off her obviously flat tummy on Instagram.
Though things are going well between the couple, Kylie opted to attend the 2024 Met Gala without Timothee on Monday, May 6.
Next week, the highly-anticipated fifth season of Hulu’s The Kardashians will premiere on Thursday, May 23.
A teaser for the premiere first episode states, ‘Kourtney navigates her pregnancy while Kris plans a baby shower; Khloé is presented with a fresh start while facing pressure from Kim to change her ways; Kendall and Kylie make time for an overdue sisterly catch up in Paris.’
The Kardashians follows the sisters’ longrunning E! series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which catapulted Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie to fame in 2007. The show wrapped in June 2021 after 20 seasons.
In Wednesday’s ‘sneak peek,’ Khloe confirms that the famous family has not slowed down despite their best efforts to ‘take a step back’ from their busy lifestyles.
