Timothée Chalamet Loves Basketball—and Books!

When celebrities attend a basketball game, they tend to use their courtside seats to flex a statement look—and it makes sense, given you never know when you’ll be panned to on the Jumbotron. Beyoncé, Kaia Gerber, Adele: They’ve all dressed to impress at a game. The latest star to serve up a memorable fashion moment? Actor Timothée Chalamet, who attended the Los Angeles Clippers versus New York Knicks match yesterday (the Clippers won). The Wonka star even slipped into an unexpected piece—a sweater covered in books?—for the occasion.

Forgoing more conventional courtside garb, like a player’s jersey, Chalamet opted for a chunky crewneck festooned with rows and rows of books—almost like a wearable bookshelf. Someone clearly loves a good read, and wants to make it known! If you think about it, though, the actor’s film choices so far have pointed to a deep-seated respect for literature; some of his biggest and best films have been adapted from books, including Wonka, Call Me by Your Name, Beautiful Boy, Little Women, and Dune.
