Melissa Rivers Thanks Kylie Jenner for Honoring Timothee Chalamet’s 2026 Oscars Moment
Melissa Rivers Praises Kylie Jenner’s Red Carpet Decision at the 2026 Oscars
Melissa Rivers, a renowned fashion commentator, commended Kylie Jenner for demonstrating support during Timothée Chalamet’s moment at the 2026 Oscars held on March 15. Rivers highlighted Jenner’s choice to refrain from walking the red carpet alongside her boyfriend, stating that it was a thoughtful decision, marking "his moment."
"I love that," Rivers shared. "The carpet is his moment." Chalamet, nominated for Best Actor at the 98th Academy Awards, captured attention by appearing solo on the red carpet outside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Inside the venue, Jenner made a statement in a stunning red Schiaparelli gown, inspired by the iconic character Jessica Rabbit. The dress featured a keyhole cutout, showcasing a look she previously wore in a different color in 2023.
Rivers elaborated on Jenner’s red carpet awareness, stating, “She knows she will pull focus, and that is the absolute right thing to do.” The daughter of the late Joan Rivers praised Jenner’s self-awareness, noting, “She knows her power,” and added that such choices help to maintain the spotlight on the nominated actor.
Later in the evening, Jenner joined Chalamet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where she wore a dazzling Alexander McQueen gown adorned with a feathered train. Chalamet opted for a classic white suit by Chrome Hearts for the afterparty.
“The Kardashian-Jenners know what looks good on them, and they don’t stray from the formula,” Melissa Rivers commented, reflecting on the evening’s fashion choices. She noted that both Jenner’s and Kim Kardashian’s outfits, the latter wearing a glittering Gucci dress and blue contacts at the Vanity Fair event, could have easily suited any of the sisters.
In summary, the evening celebrated both significant cinematic achievements and memorable fashion moments, with Rivers emphasizing the deliberate choices made by Jenner and her family during the prestigious event.
