Timothée Chalamet Rocked a Glitter Harness at the Golden Globes

The red carpet look is technically not a harness, but it will stay a harness, in our hearts.

At Sunday night's 76th annual Golden Globe awards, nominee Timothee Chalamet wore a harness, and he looked like the red carpet prince we've come to know and love him for. Well, at least we thought it was a harness. The look was dapper and sophisticated with the necessary high fashion twist for the peach-blessing toast of young Hollywood. Hours after it made its red carpet debut, there were already entire stories sending it up. "8 Other Ways to Use Timothee Chalamet's Harness" The Cutheadlined a story. A mere search of "Timothee Chalamet harness" on Google yielded in over 33,000 results, and gay Twitter was amuck.

Some were quick to draw comparison to Adam Rippon's Folsom-inspired Oscars look, including Rippon himself, but apparently, we are to refer to the harness as a "bib." It was an embroidered bib featuring black iridescent and purple beads with seven different shades of sequins. And that embroidered bib was courtesy of Louis Vuitton creative director Virgil Abloh.

By the New York Times' definition of a fashion harness -- "a belt over the waist and a strap over the shoulder" -- it certainly fits the bill. But if Virgil Abloh says you're wearing a bib, then honey you might as well down some Gerbers cause you're wearing a bib.

Those expecting to see Chalamet with his rumored girlfriend Lily Rose-Depp will have to be sustained by paparazzi pics alone. Instead the look was paired with his mother's, an open-back vest from Virgil Abloh's brand Off-White paired with matching wool pants. That's right, Timmy brought his mother, Nicole Flender, as his date. How sweet.

So in the battle of harnesses on the runway, the tally remains at one with bibs now neck and neck, and their first red carpet appearance now a wrap. Next year might we suggest designer ball gags?
