Kylie Jenner Channels “Marty Supreme” Glamour in Body-Skimming Copper Creation for Timothée Chalamet’s Big Night

Some red carpet moments whisper. Others gleam. Kylie Jenner’s appearance at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards on January 3, 2026, did neither—it shimmered with the kind of liquid confidence that only comes from knowing you’ve already won the night before stepping into the room.

The businesswoman and reality star, 28, arrived in a custom Ludovic de Saint Sernin creation that read less like fabric and more like molten copper poured directly onto her frame. The body-skimming column dress featured liquidy copper sequins cascading across every inch, catching and bending light with each subtle movement. Cut with a plunging neckline that demanded attention without asking for it, the gown’s sculptural halter straps crisscrossed elegantly at the collarbone, creating an architectural frame for her décolletage that balanced drama with restraint.

This wasn’t costume jewelry territory. Jenner kept accessories deliberately minimal—diamond studs, a delicate diamond pinky ring, and nude heels that disappeared beneath the dress’s metallic tide. Her chrome orange manicure provided the only departure from copper, a tonal whisper that tied the entire look together. Hair fell in her signature voluminous waves, swept casually over one shoulder with an ease that suggested this level of glamour was simply Tuesday.

The look appeared to be a studied nod to boyfriend Timothée Chalamet’s newly released film “Marty Supreme,” for which the actor, 30, was honored with the Spotlight Actor of the Year award that evening. While Chalamet leaned into retro styling—arriving in a deep chocolate-brown, lightly pinstriped double-breasted suit with softly structured shoulders, elongated drape, pale patterned tie, and polished black boots—Jenner channeled pure contemporary shimmer.

In characteristic fashion, the couple opted out of the traditional red carpet walk, instead slipping into the venue with the kind of casual discretion that only amplifies intrigue. Yet their presence was unmistakable. As Chalamet took the stage to receive his award from director Josh Safdie, Jenner cheered from her seat, phone casually in hand—a moment of genuine support caught between couture sheen and lived-in gesture.

Later, Jenner shared images from the evening on Instagram, posting a carousel of different angles that showcased the dress’s transformative quality in varying light. Her caption? A series of orange hearts. In the comments section, Chalamet made one of his rare social media appearances, responding with his own string of orange hearts—a small but significant public acknowledgment from the notoriously private actor.

The couple, who made their official red carpet debut in May 2025, continue to navigate the peculiar dance between public fascination and private preservation. But on this particular Saturday night in Palm Springs, standing in shadow with copper catching dim light, silhouette cutting through crowd, Jenner demonstrated something fashion understands better than most: sometimes presence doesn’t require performance. Sometimes it just requires the perfect dress and the confidence to let it do the talking.
