Kylie Jenner appeared at the 2025 Oscars to support her leading man Timothée Chalamet.
The beauty mogul, who has been by her boyfriend’s side for much of this awards season, skipped the red carpet but was seen by Chalamet’s side at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Jenner and Chalamet, Hollywood’s newest obsession, turned up the heat with some affectionate kissing.

The couple’s glamorous date night came as Chalamet was nominated for Best Actor for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.
“Bob Dylan, the man, the artist, became a shining light for me and a guide for me to this day. His individuality and the refusal be a part of the masses. I had an excuse to study this man and this period for five and a half years? What a gift,” he said of his work portraying the music legend.
This is the rising star’s second nomination, and had he won, he would have been the youngest actor in that category to take the award home.

Chalamet lost to Adrien Brody, who played a Hungarian-Jewish Holocaust survivor and architect who emigrates to the United States in pursuit of the American Dream in The Brutalist.
Other nominees included Sebastian Stan for The Apprentice, Ralph Fiennes for Conclave, and Colman Domingo for Sing Sing.
Chalamet was previously nominated in the same category for his role in Call Me By Your Name at the 2018 ceremony.
The Dune star had a number of nominations stacked up this season, and his supportive girlfriend was by his side for most of it, including the Golden Globes and the BAFTA Awards this year.

She skipped the SAG Awards last week in the wake of the unexpected death of her longtime hairstylist and friend Jesus Guerrero.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder described him as “more than [her] friend.”
“He was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support,” she wrote in an emotional post last week.

Ahead of the Oscars ceremony on Sunday, March 2, Jenner’s makeup artist, Ariel, shared a picture of her in the bedazzled black dress and addressed Guerrero’s absence in getting the star ready for the big night.
“Today was really hard without you, but I know how excited you were for Ky to attend the Oscars,” the makeup artist wrote in the caption.
“I felt your energy guiding us today. I hope we did you proud,” he added. “We love you forever.”

Fans had mixed opinions about the couple’s appearance together, with many echoing previous claims about her looking like “his mom.”
“Mother and son together again,” a critic said about Jenner and Chalamet’s Oscar appearance.
“Once again she is in a place where she clearly does not belong,” another wrote.
Others thought the couple looked “cute” together.
“Controversial opinion maybe but I think they’re cute together,” one said.
Another wrote, “Cute couple!! Not sure how he can survive her family, though.”
People made similar remarks when the couple attended the premiere of A Complete Unknown in Berlin, Germany, on Valentine’s Day.
The two shared a sweet kiss with one another in front of the camera as Chalamet was introduced to the audience, Bored Panda previously reported.
It comes after Chalamet’s sister, Pauline, endorsed a message that some believed was directed at her sister-in-law. Following Donald Trump’s inauguration, politician Bernie Sanders criticized the United States’ “flawed” system, stating that it allowed billionaires to “barely pay (and sometimes not pay)” any taxes and that “billionaires do not need to exist.”
In 2019, Forbes magazine estimated Jenner’s net worth at US$1 billion and called her the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at age 21.
“Kylie is his best friend and biggest supporter,” an insider told Page Six, adding that Chlamet is “thankful” for her company at award shows
Jenner and Chalamet reportedly met on January 25, 2023, during Paris Fashion Week at the Jean Paul Gaultier show. In September, they were seen kissing for the first time at Beyoncé’s concert. Less than a week after the concert, Jenner accompanied Chalamet to a New York Fashion Week event.
“Timothée is used to attending award shows and events, but it was nice having Kylie there to support him,” an insider told Page Six following the 2025 Golden Globes.
“Kylie really is his best friend and his biggest supporter. They have such a strong connection, and he was so thankful she could be there with him.”
The 27-year-old didn’t walk the red carpet with her boyfriend because she “didn’t want to make it about them,” the source added. “She wanted this night to be all about Timothée, how it was intended to be.”
Though Adrien Brody took home the Best Actor award, Chalamet “felt a sense of comfort having Kylie there with him.”
Chalamet appears to be very close to his girlfriend’s family, as he was recently spotted hugging Corey Gamble, the longtime partner of Jenner’s mom, Kris, at a Lakers game. At the Vanity Fair Oscars after party, he was also seen speaking with Jenner’s sister, Kendall.
“The Kardashians don’t belong to the Oscars,” one critic said, while a fan wrote, “they are a beautiful couple”
