When the world says “zig,” Timothée Chalamet zags. After arriving at the London A Complete Unknown premiere on a Lime bike (for which he claims he was fined $79), he is out and about making audacious fashion choices in the land of his ancestors, Paris. And now, those choices include a Chanel purse that is even smaller than his mustache.

Chalamet was seen signing autographs in Paris this week outfitted in a head-spinning jumble of cultural references: an NFL Raiders jacket, a New York City Ballet baseball cap, and low-ride True Religion jeans. Amid all this, a tiny quilted denim Chanel purse was slung over his shoulder, prompting speculation that he had gone rifling through the closet of his girlfriend Kylie Jenner’s 6-year-old daughter.

Stormi, an accomplished businesswoman and collector of luxury goods, does have a lot of mini-handbags. (They do not exactly look “mini” on her.) Then again, Timmy is an ambassador for Chanel, so maybe he got this one on his own. It’s a great way to carry around his Eiffel Tower keychain and absolutely nothing else.
