Timothee Chalamet gives nod to girlfriend Kylie Jenner with $33k accessory as he attends Actor Awards without her

Timothee Chalamet appeared to give nod to his glamorous girlfriend Kylie Jenner as he attended the 2026 Actor Awards without her on Sunday night in Los Angeles.

Instead of bringing Jenner as his plus one, the Oscar nominee, 30, posed on the red carpet with his mother Nicole Flender.

But eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that Chalamet accessorized for the ceremony with a jewelry piece that holds significance in his and Jenner's romance.

Chalamet styled his white blazer and black slacks with a Panthère de Cartier necklace, which retails for $33,000 and features a full-body panther pendant.

Jenner, 28, happens to own a similar Cartier Panthère necklace and matching earrings, which many believe were a Christmas gift from Chalamet.

She first modeled it on her Instagram Story back in December and just weeks later Chalamet attended the Golden Globes wearing his own version of the necklace, which reappeared around his neck on Sunday.

Chalamet and Jenner have been romantically linked since April 2023 but didn't make their red carpet debut as a couple until May of last year.

A source recently told Us Weekly that the couple have gotten 'serious' in the relationship and that the pair have 'talked about getting engaged this year.' 

The insider also claimed that Jenner has already begun calling the Oscar-nominated actor her 'husband.'

'Kylie definitely runs the show, and Timothee loves it. It is a great balance between both of their personalities, and it works.'

A separate source claimed to Page Six that the two stars have already been secretly living together for one year and act 'like they're basically married already.'

'They're obsessed with each other and always together,' the insider added, noting that Chalamet has gotten close to Jenner's children Stormi and Aire, whom she had with ex Travis Scott. 

Jenner has been Chalamet's date to the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards and the recent BAFTAs - which has thrust her into A-list friend circles.

During his speech at the Critics Choice Awards last month, Chalamet notably professed his love for Jenner in front of his Hollywood peers as he won Best Actor at the ceremony.

'Thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you,' he said. 'I couldn't do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.' 

Jenner was seemingly moved to tears during the sweet moment and mouthed 'I love you' towards her boyfriend as he remained on stage.

However, Jenner stayed back at home so that Chalamet could take his mother to the 2026 Actor Awards.

The mother-son duo flashed beaming smiles for red carpet photographers, with Flender wowing in a pink spaghetti strap dress.

Chalamet was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for his work in Marty Supreme.

Chalamet has mostly swept the Best Actor categories this awards season but he was beaten out by Sinners star Michael B. Jordan at Sunday's show.

The 32nd Annual Actor Awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards, were held at the famous Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.

The ceremony officially rebranded as The Actor Awards this year, a move designed to align the show with its iconic statuette 'The Actor', sharpen its global identity and keep the spotlight squarely on performers honoring their peers.

Kristen Bell returned as host for the third time, having previously emceed in 2018 and 2025.

'Having Kristen return to host feels like welcoming back a member of the family. One you actually want to hang out with,' show-runner and executive producer Jon Brockett said in a statement ahead of the ceremony.

The ceremony was streamed live on Netflix, with honors being handed out across 28 categories spanning film, television and limited series, with six nominees in each race except Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, which features eight contenders.
