Timothée Chalamet was the spitting image of a rock star as he arrived at the premiere of his hotly anticipated Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, on Tuesday night.
He was joined at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood by his costar and on-screen love interest Elle Fanning, who contrasted his edgy black leather jacket with a glamorous white satin gown.
The film, which stars Timothée Chalamet as the iconic singer–songwriter, traces Dylan’s rapid ascent as he goes from his overnight success as a folk singer to becoming a defining architect of rock music and one of the most gifted lyricists of all time.
The James Mangold–directed film also portrays the famous moment when Dylan shocked audiences at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 by ditching his acoustic guitar in favor of an electric guitar backed by a rock band.
Timothée showed off his rock-star cool by wearing a classic black leather jacket.
He jazzed it up with several buttons around the outer breast pocket with photos of Dylan in his prime, as well as one that read ‘Get Born,’ a phrase from Subterranean Homesick Blues, the song that opens Dylan’s first electric LP, 1965’s Bringing It All home.

The Dune star paired his jacket with a gray shirt buttoned up to the top and left untucked, as well as black trousers and matching boots, which channeled the Cuban heels that Dylan regularly wore in the mid-1960s.
Chalamet also sported a short goatee after growing his mustache out for his upcoming film Marty Supreme.
Ironically, the facial hair made him look more like current-day Bob Dylan than his ’60s incarnation, as the 83-year-old musician often favors a thin, old-fashioned mustached while on his never-ending tour.
