Timothée Chalamet's red carpet style evolution through the years

Timothée Chalamet used his recent acceptance speech at the SAG Awards to declare he wanted to be "one of the greats" in acting, an accomplishment he's clearly on his way to achieving whether he wins the best actor Academy Award for his turn as Bob Dylan in "A Complete Unknown" or not.

But he's also already one of the greats in another realm: Red carpet fashion.
