Celebrities Recreated: Megan Stalter, Paul W. Downs Imitate Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner at Critics’ Choice Awards
Actors Megan Stalter and Paul W. Downs stole the spotlight at the 31st annual Critics’ Choice Awards with a bold fashion statement that reminded many of Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner . The 'Hacks' co-stars attended the ceremony, hosted by Chelsea Handler, wearing coordinated all-orange outfits closely resembling the couple’s recent appearance at the Marty Supreme premiere, according to E! News.
Their look was more than just color coordination. Stalter accessorized with a chunky cross necklace reminiscent of Jenner’s, while Downs carried a black leather table tennis paddle case in a crossbody style, echoing Chalamet’s quirky accessory. The outfits quickly caught attention on social media, sparking discussions about whether the resemblance was intentional.
Coincidence or Homage?
Despite the similarities, Stalter downplayed the recreation, telling E! News on the red carpet, “I don't even know what this is. My stylist just pulled it.” Downs hinted that practicality played a role, explaining, “We borrowed. We're in production on season five right now of 'Hacks', so we didn't really have a lot of time to fit, to shop.”
On whether they had reached out to Chalamet or Jenner before the event, Downs joked, “We don't want to name drop.”
Chalamet’s Orange-Themed Marketing
Chalamet has been promoting Marty Supreme, a film that embraces an orange-heavy theme across its marketing campaign. In a December 19 interview, he said, “This is ultimately an original film at a time when original movies aren't really put out. It's a movie about the pursuit of a dream. I'm leaving it on the field. Whether it's the merch or the Zoom or the media appearances, I'm trying to get this out in the biggest way possible.”
He described the film’s promotional stunts including a blimp, ping-pong-inspired visuals, and limited-edition merchandise as being “in the spirit of Marty Mauser,” reinforcing the playful and bold branding strategy.
Awards and Nominations
Downs was also in the spotlight as a nominee for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, while Chalamet is nominated for Best Actor alongside Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Michael B. Jordan (Sinners), and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent).
