Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet finally made their romance red carpet official at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards at Cinecitta Studios in Rome on May 7. The pair coordinated in all-black outfits—while Jenner wore a low-cut and floor-length Schiaparelli gown, the Little Women actor opted for a black velvet Tom Ford tuxedo. It's since been revealed that Jenner took a hands-on approach to helping style her boyfriend before they arrived on the red carpet.

Tom Ford's creative director, Haider Ackermann, shared a screenshot from a video chat he had with Jenner and Chalamet as they prepared for their red carpet debut. The Kylie Cosmetics mogul could be seen using a lint brush to diligently perfect her boyfriend's sleek velvet suit from the designer. Ackermann captioned the Instagram post, "TEAMWORK - Miss K, you're hired!!" The creative director also celebrated Chalamet's iconic David Di Donatello Award win.

Meanwhile, Jenner revealed in a series of Instagram snaps that she was her very own makeup artist for the event. As the founder of a world-famous cosmetics company, she's exceptionally qualified to create flawless glam for the red carpet.

Chalamet and Jenner were first linked in January 2023, when they both attended the Jean Paul Gaultier show at Paris Fashion Week. Throughout awards season at the start of 2025, Jenner accompanied her Oscar-nominated partner to a plethora of ceremonies and high-profile events, but they waited to make their red carpet debut in Rome.

A source previously opened up to Us Weekly about the couple's relationship, saying, "Timothée is very focused on his career and Kylie loves being on the sidelines cheering him on." The source continued, "She loves that he's in the spotlight more than her. It's been a breath of fresh air." Multiple rumors have also suggested that Jenner and Chalamet's relationship is very serious, and that marriage could be in the cards.
