What To Know

  • Hacks stars Paul W. Downs and Meg Stalter attended the Critics Choice Awards in matching bright orange outfits inspired by Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner’s Marty Supreme premiere looks.
  • Downs and Stalter fully embraced the homage by mimicking Chalamet and Jenner’s poses and accessories.
  • Both Chalamet and Downs are 2026 Critics Choice nominees.

Are we at the Critics Choice Awards or the Marty Supreme premiere? Hacks stars Paul W. Downs and Meg Stalter had us doing a double take with their red carpet look ahead of the January 4 ceremony.

The costars walked the carpet in bright orange outfits that were almost identical to the looks Timothée Chalamet and girlfriend Kylie Jenner wore to the Marty Supreme premiere on December 8, 2025. Downs, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, even rocked a ping pong paddle-inspired crossbody just like Chalamet did.

“We’ve been shooting Season 5 of Hacks and haven’t had a lot of time to shop or pull, so we just borrowed from friends,” Downs told The Hollywood Reporter.

Chalamet wore a bright orange suit and matching boots to the Los Angeles premiere of his latest film, while Jenner stepped out in an orange cutout gown to support her man. The couple‘s outfits were custom-made by Chrome Hearts.

Downs and Stalter didn’t let their ChalaJenner inspiration stop at just the clothes. They even posed like Chalamet and Jenner for photographers. When they commit to the bit, they commit. Never forget when Stalter showed up to the Las Culturistas Culture Awards in a top that was made completely out of Diet Coke boxes.

Chalamet is expected to be at the Critics Choice Awards ceremony as well. The actor is nominated for Best Actor. Jenner has been joining him as his date at more events lately, so it’s likely she’ll be in the Critics Choice Awards audience as well. We’re going to need to see these four celebs cross paths at some point during the night. Producers, keep your eyes peeled!

A day before the Critics Choice Awards, Chalamet accepted the Spotlight Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Jenner was by his side throughout the night in a glittering orange gown. Hey, maybe Downs and Stalter will cosplay the couple’s Critics Choice looks at next week’s Golden Globes!
