All eyes are on Timothée Chalamet as the 97th Academy Awards draw near. Kylie Jenner attended the 2025 Golden Globes to support Chalamet as he was commended for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. However, there are now doubts regarding Jenner’s Oscars attendance on the red carpet. Here’s what a leading PR expert said about Jenner likely skipping walking in with Chalamet.
A Hollywood guru says Kylie Jenner likely won’t walk into the 97th Academy Awards with Timothée Chalamet
Timothée Chalamet might be expecting to win an Oscar for his role as Bob Dylan. Of course, he’d love for his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, to attend the momentous event. Jenner and Chalamet have been going strong in their romance despite the doubt they received initially. While Jenner more than likely wants to see Chalamet take home a win, leading PR expert Lynn Carratt told Sportsbook Review that the reality star likely won’t walk the red carpet.
“Obviously, a lot was made of Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner at the BAFTAs,” Carratt noted. “I think he’s in with a very good chance of winning the Oscar; he will want his girlfriend there to support him. I don’t think Kylie will want to take all the attention from him on the night. She won’t walk the red carpet with him; she’ll meet him inside, as she did at the BAFTAs and the Golden Globes. She won’t want the attention to be focused on her walking down the red carpet.”
Carratt noted that the Kardashian-Jenner family has yet to “infiltrate” the Oscars, likely leading to Jenner’s trepidation. “This year, if Kylie is to be photographed with Timothée, it’s likely to be at the Vanity Fair party,” the expert continued. “He’s likely to be photographed on the red carpet alone, but we will see them inside together. The Oscars shouldn’t be a ceremony for people who are not bona fide actors and actresses, movie industry professionals. That is what it is there to celebrate, and they won’t want to ‘lower the tone.’”
Kylie Jenner allegedly experiences ‘stage fright’ at ‘big Hollywood events’
Kylie Jenner wants to support Timothée Chalamet at the Academy Awards. However, she allegedly gets incredibly anxious from the huge awards shows. An insider told The U.S. Sun that Jenner “always has stage fright at the big Hollywood events.”
“She gets really anxious about having to hold conversations about things she doesn’t know about, like the film industry and acting,” the insider continued. “It just makes her uncomfortable. She’s always battling that inferiority complex of, ‘They think I’m just trash TV.’ There’s still a huge part of her that lives in fear of having that rug pulled out from under her, or people saying she doesn’t deserve to be somewhere like the Oscars.”
The source noted that Jenner worries about triggering a “hate reaction” from others by walking the red carpet.
There’s also a chance that Jenner won’t appear at the Oscars at all in 2025. Her friend and hairstylist, Jesus Guerrero, died unexpectedly in February 2025. She may want to grieve and recover from the loss before making public appearances.
“Jesus’ death hit her hard,” a source told People. “She is shocked and very upset. Still, she’s doing everything she can to be supportive and aid his family, including financially.”
The reality star was ‘screaming with excitement’ over Timothée Chalamet’s nomination, a source says
Whether Kylie Jenner attends the Academy Awards in 2025 remains to be seen. However, there’s no doubt she’s incredibly proud of Timothée Chalamet. An insider told Page Six that Jenner was “screaming with excitement” when she found out about Chalamet’s nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
According to the insider, Jenner “had a feeling Timothée was going to be nominated, but actually seeing his name pop up on the TV screen was incredible. … Kylie is absolutely thrilled and can’t wait to see Timothée in person so they can celebrate this special moment in his life.”
