Despite often appearing together at award events and red carpets, Timothée Chalamet was notably absent from the recent premiere of The Moment, a film featuring Kylie Jenner in a cameo role. Fans wondered why the Call Me By Your Name star was missing from this major event in Beverly Hills, especially given their past public outings. The answer lies in Chalamet’s intensive Oscar campaign, keeping him busy across the country.
Kylie Jenner Shines at The Moment Premiere in Beverly Hills
The premiere of the A24 film The Moment, scheduled for release this week, drew its cast and special guests to a high-profile event in Beverly Hills. Kylie Jenner, who appears briefly in the film, impressed attendees wearing a low-rise black skirt paired with a cropped cream ruffle top, both from Maison Margiela’s spring/summer 2026 collection. Her look perfectly matched the film’s stylish and dynamic atmosphere. Jenner was also seen alongside Charli XCX, the pop star and filmmaker behind the movie, which is a mockumentary chronicling Charli’s Brat era.

Chalamet’s Absence Explained by Intensive Oscar Promotion
While Jenner mingled with the cast and posed for photos, Timothée Chalamet was not present at the premiere. His absence surprised many, as the couple has a history of supporting each other at such events. However, on January 29, the same day as The Moment premiere, Chalamet was in New York City for a Q&A session related to his own A24 film, Marty Supreme, alongside the director Josh Safdie. The session was held immediately after a screening where Chalamet discussed the film with talk show host Jimmy Fallon.
Standing Out as a Leading Oscar Contender
Currently, Timothée Chalamet is heavily focused on his 2026 Oscar campaign for his role in Marty Supreme. He recently won the Critics’ Choice Award and the 2026 Golden Globe for his performance, marking him as a frontrunner in the awards race. During his Critics’ Choice acceptance speech, Chalamet even thanked Kylie Jenner, highlighting their ongoing personal and professional connection. The film has received widespread critical acclaim, and Chalamet’s unconventional promotional strategies, including memorable viral moments like a blimp and branded jackets, continue to attract significant attention, as audiences passionately discuss the unique ping-pong-themed movie.
What Comes Next for Chalamet and Jenner?
Given these circumstances, it is clear why Timothée Chalamet could not attend The Moment premiere alongside Kylie Jenner. The demands of his award campaign, involving travel and press events, took priority. However, fans can expect the pair to reunite for upcoming events, especially with the Oscars ceremony approaching on the 2026 calendar. Their past appearances at award shows together suggest they will likely be seen side by side again, continuing to support each other’s careers amid growing public interest.
