Timothée Chalamet is a game changer. The actor made history as the first man to grace the cover of British Vogue — all by himself.The fashion publication’s editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful, revealed the October 2022 issue in a letter published on Thursday, September 15. “For the first time in British Vogue‘s 106-year history, this month a man is flying solo on our cover,” Enninful, 50, wrote. (While men have been seen on the front of British Vogue in the past, they’ve been accompanied by models and actresses.)On the cover, the 26-year-old Dune star is seen rocking a drool-worthy pose as his signature full head of curls fills the page.

The New York native complemented his crown with a pearl necklace and a dazzling embossed blazer by Louis Vuitton. Inside the issue, Chalamet channeled his inner rockstar, debuting streaky pink hair, which was paired with a fringe vest and leather pants from Balmain.

In another shot, the movie star donned a mullet and a crop top by Gucci.Speaking on his decision to put Chalamet on the cover solo, Enninful explained that he wanted to break free from “tired old gender boxes.”“I always held off from a man-only print magazine cover,” he wrote. “Forever conscious of Vogue being a space that celebrates women first, I didn’t want it to be a stunt or a statement.

Are men in dire need of more places to dazzle on their own, I pondered. The answer, of course, is no. Yet, in turn, it increasingly felt to me that there was something at best old-fashioned, at worst dangerously retro, about these tired old gender boxes.”He continued: “Fashion doesn’t always work that way – is every last piece in your wardrobe strictly designed for the gender with which you identify?
