Move over, Harry Styles, there’s a new fashion icon in town — ex-NBA star Kenny “The Jet” Smith, whose wardrobe got major props from one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, Timothée Chalamet!!

Timothée Chalamet’s Style Inspiration

The ‘Dune’ actor revealed his style inspiration in an interview with Elle this week, where he raved about the “Inside the NBA” analyst’s drip. Chalamet explained his random choice for who he considers his “style icon,” saying Smith has varying style, but is always bold — especially when he rocks sneakers with his suits. Chalamet also praised Smith’s confidence, adding that’s what throws all his looks together.

Surprising Choice

It’s pretty surprising — not because Smith is a bad dresser by any means, but some probably assumed Chalamet would pick someone more prominent in the fashion scene like a David Beckham, A$AP Rocky, or Brad Pitt.

Austin Butler’s Style Icon

Austin Butler, who also took part in the interview, said his “style icon” is Chalamet. Guess we can thank Smith for that!
