Timothée Chalamet reacts as Kylie Jenner wears $50 million bra in surprise Victoria’s Secret runway debut
Kylie Jenner made her Victoria’s Secret runway debut in a $50 million bra - and Timothée Chalamet was absolutely loving it.
Having been together for over three years, the Oscar nominee, 30, watched on as his girlfriend, 29, rocked up in a record-breaking piece designed by luxury jewellery house Jacob & Co at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, LA on Sunday (18 October).
Sat alongside The Kardashians star's mum Kris, the pair smiled and clapped for Kylie, who wore a bra with '4,410 natural diamonds surrounding a 75.54-carat radiant-cut Fancy Vivid yellow diamond', according to Vogue.
"It took 15 craftspeople more than 1,000 hours to build it, and the finished product weighs just under four pounds. The total cost? A whopping $50 million, the highest price (by some $35 million) for a Fantasy Bra to date," the fashion outlet explains.

It was also custom-engineered to fit the Kylie Cosmetics founder's body while allowing her to move comfortably on the runway.
Notably, the bra was made entirely from gold and diamonds, with no fabric whatsoever.
Over on Instagram, Kylie called it the 'best day ever'.
“A big idea for the show was fandomonium,” adds Adam Selman, chief creative officer at Victoria’s Secret.
“And the Fantasy Bra was one of the things that was requested the most from last year’s show.
"So we thought, OK, how do we do this in a really fun, excessive way? Because that’s what it is: a truly excessive piece of jewelry and artistry. It’s almost museum quality.”
“Kylie really extends beyond fashion, beyond culture, beyond TV, beyond one singular thing,” he continued.
“That’s the exact same thing that we do. Like, the show is so big, it’s true entertainment, and I think that she is a great catalyst for that.
“She’s really created her own culture, which—how many people can say that? I think it’s an interesting pairing that we’re giving the fans: we’re giving them what they want with this amazing Fantasy Bra, and we’re going to put it on an unexpected talent who has a massive following and massive cultural impact.
“I think it’s fun. I think it’s really joyful, and I think it’s fun to celebrate in a different way that people aren’t going to expect.”
While Selman acknowledges that the Fantasy Bra is ultimately a marketing stunt, Jacob Arabo of Jacob & Co noted that 'even with exact measurements, what looks good on paper doesn’t always work the same way on the body'.
“Every curve, every diamond, and every piece of gold had to be carefully placed so the bra would be both beautiful and comfortable,” Arabo said.
