In 2011, he made his Broadway debut as Nicholas, a sexually inquisitive 12-year-old, in the Off-Broadway production The Talls, a coming-of-age comedy set in the 1970s. “Chalamet wonderfully depicts a tween’s growing questions about sex,” noted the New York Daily News’ leading theatre reviewer.
Chalamet is regarded as one of the most gifted performers of his age by a number of magazines. Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said of his portrayal in Beautiful Boy, “he could be the male performer of his generation.” He was included to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Hollywood & Entertainment list in 2018.
Chalamet has been dubbed a sex symbol as well as a fashion icon by the media, with his hallmarks being his hair, jawline, and androgynous appearance. Vogue named him the most important guy in fashion in 2019, praising him for “continuing to stretch the boundaries between traditional masculinity and femininity,” adding, “those fashion choices are just that much more amazing since Chalamet fashions himself.” He was named the best-dressed guy in the world by GQ in 2020. Along with musician Billie Eilish, professional tennis player Naomi Osaka, and poet Amanda Gorman, Chalamet served as one of the co-chairs of the 2021 Met Gala.
