And now, he’s baring it all at the Wonka premieres.For his first Wonka appearance, you can see Timothée teasing a little skin with a low-cut neck and no shirt in this pinstriped Alexander McQueen suit.
Then, at the London premiere, Timothée donned the iconic Willy Wonka purple in this Tom Ford suit and went completely without an undershirt.
In an interview with Access Hollywood, he credited his Dune costar Zendaya for channeling these perfectly themed red carpet ensembles. “I feel like Zendaya’s a great example,” he said of his Dune castmate. “In this day and age, you can sort of lean into what the vibe of a movie is in the promotional stuff you do.”
If you look closely, you’ll see that Zendaya and Timothée looks are based on their based on their characters in the film.So, what part of Wonka inspired Timothée’s look at the France premiere?
No, seriously, is Willy Wonka going to skinny dip in a vat of white chocolate because Timmy’s clothes are becoming more revealing as the premieres continue?
He knows what he’s doing with these outfits. “One ticket for Wonka, please!”
