AceShowbiz - Timothée Chalamet made a notable appearance at the 2026 Actor Awards by bringing a special companion to the event — his mother, Nicole Flender. The awards ceremony took place at the Shrine Auditorium on March 1, honoring the outstanding performances recognized by the SAG-AFTRA union for the year 2025.

Rather than attending with his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet chose to celebrate this milestone with his mom. Nicole was dressed elegantly in a pink gown, complementing Timothée’s classic look consisting of a white blazer paired with black trousers. Before the ceremony, Nicole shared a photo of her outfit on Instagram, captioning it “Ready for SAGs,” a nod to the award show's former name, the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Her post quickly drew attention from the Jenner-Kardashian family, particularly from Kris Jenner, who left a warm and supportive comment along with three pink heart emojis, praising Nicole as “GORGEOUS!” This interaction highlighted the growing closeness between the families and hinted at Kris’s fondness for her potential future in-law.

While Timothée Chalamet was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role at the event, the award ultimately went to Michael B. Jordan. However, the night was still a memorable family affair for Timothée, who has been publicly dating Kylie Jenner since 2023 and has shared numerous red carpet moments with her throughout the awards season.

Earlier in the awards circuit, the couple appeared together at the prestigious 2026 BAFTAs held on February 22 in London. At the BAFTAs, Timothée Chalamet arrived solo on the red carpet, sporting a sleek, all-black custom Givenchy ensemble. Inside the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, he joined Kylie Jenner, who dazzled in a vintage Thierry Mugler gown featuring jewel embellishments along the velvet bust.

The two have consistently been each other’s preferred date to major events, marking a pattern of shared appearances throughout 2026. Notably, at the Critics’ Choice Awards earlier that year, Timothée gave a heartfelt shoutout to Kylie during his acceptance speech for Best Actor, thanking her for being his foundation and expressing his love publicly.

In response, Kylie Jenner was seen mouthing “I love you” back to him from the audience, emphasizing their strong connection despite their high-profile lives. Kylie is also a mother to two children, Stormi, 8, and Aire, 4, with her ex-partner Travis Scott, balancing her family life alongside her relationship with Timothée Chalamet.

Before becoming more open about their relationship on the red carpet, Timothée Chalamet remained discreet. In a December interview with Vogue, he explained that his silence about Kylie Jenner was not due to fear but simply because he had "nothing to say" publicly about their private life at that time.

Both stars have since made clear that privacy is a priority in their relationship. Kylie Jenner told British Vogue in August 2024 that protecting certain parts of their lives from public scrutiny “feels so good,” underscoring the importance of boundaries to maintain their bond amid constant media attention.

The 2026 Actor Awards red carpet featured a dazzling array of stars and fashion statements. Actress Teyana Taylor wore Thom Browne paired with Tiffany & Co. jewelry, while Demi Moore opted for a striking Schiaparelli ensemble. Emma Stone appeared in custom Louis Vuitton, and Damian Lewis was seen in Edward Sexton tailoring.

Other notable attendees included Kate Hudson in Valentino with Desert diamonds from Emily P. Wheeler, Amy Madigan in Christian Dior adorned with TACORI jewelry, and Parker Posey dressed in Gucci. Comedy star Kristen Wiig chose Christian Cowan and Tiffany & Co. jewelry, while singer and actress Sofia Carson donned Elie Saab alongside Chopard jewels.

The event was also graced by elegant appearances from Michelle Randolph in Balenciaga, Michelle Monaghan in Prada with Sabyasachi jewelry, and rising star Miles Caton in Louis Vuitton. Li Jun Li showcased Aadnevik, and Iris Apatow with Sam Nivola both wore Dior Men.

Veteran actress Jean Smart appeared in Laura Basci paired with Rahaminov Diamonds, and Damson Idris wore Prada. Jasmin Savoy Brown stunned in Zuhair Murad, while Ted Danson and Kate Danson completed the event with Blancpain watches and Oliver Peoples glasses.

Models and actresses such as Irina Shayk, Emily Watson in Roksanda with Manolo Blahnik shoes and Anabela Chan jewelry, and Janelle James sporting Christian Louboutin shoes and TACORI jewelry contributed to the star-studded affair. Ethan Hawke wore Dior, and Eiza González dazzled in Giorgio Armani Privé.

The awards night also featured Fiona Dourif in Lanvin with Lagos jewelry, Erin Doherty in Louis Vuitton, Benicio del Toro, and Michael B. Jordan in Tom Ford. Regina Hall completed the lineup with a custom Cong Tri design.

The 2026 Actor Awards, previously known as the SAG Awards, will be broadcast live on Sunday, March 1, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Netflix. This star-studded event continues to be a highlight of the awards season, celebrating the best in acting talent while showcasing unforgettable fashion moments.
