Timothée Chalamet’s Yellow Suit Mocked and Compared to Curious George

Or is it more Tweety Bird? A marshmallow Peep?

Timothée Chalamet, star of A Complete Unknown, traded in his Bob Dylan cosplay for a butter-yellow Givenchy suit at the Oscars, and the internet can’t decide if it’s a high-fashion moment or if he’s auditioning for live-action Tweety Bird.

Chalamet is nominated for Best Actor, and if he takes home the gold, he’ll become the youngest person in history to win the award. But while his fans are holding their breath for that potential history-making moment, others are too busy cracking jokes about his bold color choice on the red carpet.

“Timothée Chalamet STUNS on the Oscars red carpet,” one fan wrote on X, posting a picture of the Wegman’s Butter Boy cutout.

Other fans quickly piled on, comparing him to Curious George‘s main human character and his signature yellow ensemble.

“Timothée Chalamet’s yellow man from Curious George serve,” one user quipped on X.

Then came the banana comparisons.

And of course, the Peep jabs were inevitable.

“Nooo, he looks like a Peep,” one fan wrote on Reddit, clearly devastated by the marshmallow resemblance.

Even Conan O’Brien, this year’s Oscars host, took a swing at Chalamet’s bold suit, joking that no one will be able to lose him in a crowd tonight.

“I love that suit. You will not get hit on your bike tonight,” O’Brien said.

Whether Chalamet takes home the Oscar or not, his Tweety Bird-inspired yellow suit has already won the internet’s attention—good or bad, it’s unforgettable.
