Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs drew attention at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards with outfits that mirrored those of Chalamet and Jenner.

The duo arrived at the awards ceremony on January 4 dressed in nearly identical replicas of the custom orange Chrome Hearts looks that Chalamet and Jenner donned at the premiere of Marty Supreme.

Crafted by Los Angeles-based designer Erica D. Schwartz, Downs, 43, sported a vibrant orange leather suit paired with an orange silk shirt and matching orange boots. He also carried a black leather ping-pong paddle case over his shoulder.

Meanwhile, Stalter, 35, embraced Jenner’s style with a floor-length orange gown featuring triangular cutouts and a cross embellishment. Her outfit was complemented with a cross necklace and orange heels.

Chalamet, 30, and Jenner, 28, turned heads with their synchronized outfits at the Marty Supreme premiere on December 8, which marked their second time on the red carpet together.

The couple, dating since spring 2023, first made a public appearance at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome in May, where Chalamet received the David for Cinematic Excellence.

For their initial red carpet outing, Chalamet wore a sleek velvet suit adorned with a boutonniere, while Jenner opted for a curve-hugging dress with a plunging neckline from the Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2025 collection.

Jenner’s look was completed with a velvet clutch accented with gold embroidery and statement earrings from Schiaparelli, including one depicting a brass finger topped with a pearl and the other a sculpted hand with a crystal-set nail and pearl pendant. Her hair was styled in a slicked-back bun.

Stalter is recognized for her bold choices on the red carpet. At the 2025 Emmys, she challenged traditional formalwear by wearing straight-leg blue jeans and a white T-shirt. She paired her look with black flats, a belt, and sunglasses. Speaking to Variety, she noted that her shirt was from Hanes and her jeans were Levi’s.

“I think people need to bring back jeans on the red carpet,” Stalter remarked. “They were in the ’90s… there are no rules. You’re allowed to do what you want.”

She drew additional attention with a black handbag featuring a label reading, “cease fire!”—a statement likely referencing the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Stalter added a vibrant touch with red lipstick and nail polish, completing her look with soft waves in her long, dark hair.
