You Can Now Buy Timothée Chalamet's GapStudio Sleek, Satin Oscars Nominees Dinner Look
Though he might not have taken home a statuette for 'Best Actor' at this year's Academy Awards, Timothée Chalamet remains a winner in our hearts, and has treated us to no shortage of award-worthy looks. Case in point? Chalamet's Oscars Nominees Dinner look by GapStudio, which features a streamlined, versatile silhouette of a boxy satin trucker jacket and straight-leg pants to match created by creative director Zac Posen. These gender-neutral wardrobe staples have day-to-night appeal that made us wonder if they would become available to purchase to the public. Well, we have some fabulous news — starting today, you can do just that, thanks to GapStudio's limited-release drop of a version of Chalamet's lust-worthy jacket and pants.

GapStudio's gender-neutral Satin Icon Jacket and '90s Loose Pants can now be pre-ordered directly on Gap's site, and, should you do so, you'll get the stylish goods by the end of May. But hey, all good things take time. Both the outerwear and bottoms represent peak Americana (what with those retro button details and loose fit that nods at the grunge aesthetic), which is something Posen intentionally tapped into for Chalamet's original look — seeing as how the actor's latest role, and the one that earned him a 2025 Academy Awards nomination, was starring as Bob Dylan in the biopic 'A Complete Unknown.'

'This look transcends fashion. It symbolizes heritage, legacy, and cultural evolution,' Posen, who also serves as Gap Inc.'s executive vice president, says of the set that can be bought either together or separately. 'In the 1960s, Bob Dylan dropped an American anthem with 'Like a Rolling Stone,' and by 1969, Gap was selling jeans and records in its first store — two moments that shaped and bridged culture gaps for generations to come. The parallels, the energy, and the synergy inspired me to reimagine GapStudio's first men's look on a cultural icon like Timothée.'
Indeed, Posen's creation for the 29-year-old actor marks his first custom menswear design made in the GapStudio — and the fact that a version of it can now be shopped by those of us who aren't exactly awards show attendees (yet!) but still want to secure a similarly head-turning ensemble is even more significant.
Given the aforementioned gender-neutral nature of the pieces, they provide the perfect avenue for putting a badass, cool-girl spin on traditionally feminine looks this spring. Whether you choose to pair the trucker-style satin jacket with one of the best spring dresses, don the pants with your favorite slingback pumps and an easy breezy white tank top for date night, or else achieve head-to-toe sleekness and mystique by sporting the jacket and bottoms together, know that your fresh purchases will pay dividends in day-to-night versatility.
We have a good feeling these new arrivals will go the way of the Dodo — selling out and becoming extinct in a flash. After all, GapStudio has already once released a take on a celebrity GapStudio outfit that ran out of inventory almost as soon as it went live. This was Gap's White Poplin Shirtdress, whose custom iteration by Posen was spotted on Anne Hathaway at a Bulgari party last year. You could once snag the crisp and airy cotton gown for just $158 (it then dropped in price to under $100), but only if you had speedy fingers, especially considering the fact that the piece's popularity was turbocharged by Julia Fox styling it with a green wide-brim hat. Let this be your second chance, then, for scoring a seen-on-stars GapStudio style if you weren't so lucky the first time around.
And if you need proof of just how hot GapStudio is amongst A-listers inclusive of Chalamet, evidence comes in the form of Cara Delevigne's chic-and-contemporary custom denim gown by GapStudio, worn by her at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars Party with matching arm warmers (yes); Da'Vine Joy Randolph's GapStudio denim dress with a voluptuous, statement-making train at last year's Met Gala; Cynthia Erivo's dramatic, hooded frock at the 2024 FDA Fashion Awards, also ideated and designed by Posen; recent sightings of GapStudio's Coated Denim Cropped Moto Jacket on everyone from Emily Ratajkowski to Demi Moore; and many more star-studded examples.
Posen's influence with his GapStudio designs are truly changing the perception of the iconic American brand, because you better believe we've already put in our orders of the 90s Loose Pants and Satin Icon Jacket. We recommend you promptly do the same, as both pieces are expected to sell out fast.

Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle Ads Sized Up by Crisis Specialists
Nearly a week after American Eagle released its new ad campaign with Sydney Sweeney, many are still dissing or discussing it, depending whom you ask. For many, the online and social media backlash was rooted in the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes.' In one promotional video, the 27-year-old 'White Lotus' and 'Euphoria' actress is seen lying on the floor zipping up her jeans, as she says, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color.' The camera then focuses on her face, when she says, 'My jeans are blue.' The narrator then says the tagline: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Some questioned the narrative and the use of 'genes' as a sign of eugenics. More from WWD The Costumes of 'The Gilded Age' Are a Part of Real Life History American Eagle Bets Big on Sydney Sweeney to Rev Up Fall Denim Sales Sebastiano Pigazzi Reflects on 'And Just Like That,' Family Legacy and His Journey to the Screen Media requests to American Eagle and its spokesperson at the outside public relations firm Shadow were unreturned Monday and Tuesday. Sweeney's agency MN2S did not respond to a media request, nor did a representative for the fashion stylist Molly Dickson, who worked on the campaign. Moroch Partners' chief executive officer Matt Powell described the controversy as 'a non-troversy, as the connection is very much a stretch.' He said, 'The smart play for the brand is to not respond in this case. This is especially true knowing that American Eagle is traditionally more conservative and avoids polarizing or provocative stances. If they were to join the conversation, they'd need to be prepared for the conversation that comes with it. Staying silent doesn't fuel the fire.' Crisis communications specialist Molly McPherson was unable to comment Tuesday but referred to her Instagram post about the situation. In an Instagram Story, she said, 'If you look at the Sydney Sweeney ad and the campaign that is tying in her blue jeans with blue eyes and blonde hair, you think, 'Hmm…' When they conceived that ad, it went through all of those different people, and nobody flagged the content thinking it might cause outrage? When you walk into an American Eagle store and look at the customer base, are they worried about outrage online based on this campaign? Not likely.' McPherson said it doesn't matter if it's American Eagle or a Ryan Reynolds-produced ad with Gwyneth Paltrow, nothing is a coincidence. She said, 'Everything is choreographed for a reason. There is a puppeteer, who is designing a campaign whether it's an ad or PR to get you to think about it, have an emotion about it, talk about with other people, and to talk about it online. In the end, it all comes down to this [rubbing a thumb over an index symbol as a sign of money.]' Prior to the launch in an interview with WWD, American Eagle's chief marketing officer Craig Brommers described the campaign as 'potentially one of the biggest gets in American Eagle history.' He said, 'Sydney Sweeney is the 'It' girl of the moment, and she is helping us create the 'It' jeans campaign of the season. Sydney really encapsulates American Eagle. She is the girl who can play the red carpet but she's also the girl next door, and that duality really defines Gen Z and Millennials.' American Eagle is also partnering with Snapchat, which Brommers flagged as 'the number-one way that Gen Z communicates with one another.' The brand is creating sponsored Snap Stories, that will allow Sweeney to directly message users. A spokesperson for Snapchat declined to say whether it plans to modify its involvement or to comment about the criticism that the campaign is reminiscent of Nazi terminology, and perceived similarities to Calvin Klein's 1981 campaign with Brooke Shields. Media requests to Be Real, which is also part of the campaign's digital efforts, were not acknowledged. Brommers had touted the campaign's reach in a LinkedIn post last week that attracted praise and criticism. The initial game plan included a Sphere takeover in Las Vegas, 3D billboards in Times Square and Los Angeles, the first ever Broadcast Channel on Instagram, a Pinterest board with Sweeney's picks, AI try on technology for AE's 'Great Jeans' and a 'Euphoria' partnership on HBO Max. Caitlin Duffy-Ryon, founder and chief marketing officer of AI Safety & Literacy, posted, 'Please explain the thinking behind literally using 'genes' in some of the launch advertising? It's extremely disconcerting to see, especially given today's political climate.' Anastasia Karklina Gabriel, author of 'Cultural Intelligence for Marketers,' wrote, 'What exactly was the cultural 'insight' behind this outrageously racist and explicitly eugenics coded campaign about blue genes/jeans?' Others used social media to critique the creative for being similar to Brooke Shields' 'Nothing comes between me and my Calvins' campaign from 1981. A spokesperson for the designer Calvin Klein declined to comment Monday about either controversy tied to the new American Eagle campaign. The campaign's debut spurred a rally for the stock, which reportedly increased the market value of the brand by more than $400 million. American Eagle's shares increased by 4.2 percent on July 24, the day the campaign was released. And after the market closed on Tuesday, its stock price finished slightly down by 4.16 percent. Evan Nierman, founder and chief executive officer of the global crisis public relations firm Red Banyan, suggested that American Eagle has 'let too much time pass not acknowledging the backlash. The brand has failed to get ahead of the narrative, which is allowing online speculation and outrage to spread.' 'When a campaign sparks this level of cultural criticism, a well-crafted, timely response is everything. American Eagle's inaction suggests either unpreparedness or a calculated gamble that the storm will pass. Executives may feel good about the elevated share price, yet a silent approach does not inspire public confidence or brand credibility,' he said. From his view, 'any delay in clarifying the campaign's intent and emphasizing its values 'is only going to amplify the perception that it's indifferent to public concerns. In time, that share price could easily drop,' Nierman said. Sew Branded's founder Scott Woodward said Craig Brommers is 'a very fine CMO and Jennifer Foyle is a brilliant merchant and executive, but I would have addressed it by now.' He compared the Sweeney campaign as being as 'tone deaf big' as Kendall Jenner's 2017 Pepsi commercial that was titled 'Live for Now — Moments.' Pepsi pulled that ad, after being criticized for attempting to capitalize on the Black Lives Matter movement by imitating protests. Woodward said of American Eagle's situation, 'It's not going to go away. I don't think they thought it would land this way with youth and media people. They love being loved too much.' Drexel University professor Joseph H. Hancock said the campaign needed 'some major rethinking.' He said, 'I am not only concerned for the main brand AE, but for their affiliate brands like Aerie, Todd Snyder, and Unsubscribed because they are becoming tied to the controversy.' Speculating that the campaign could make some consumers not shop there anymore, Hancock said, 'I worked for major companies like Gap and Limited Brands, and saw that when one division does something controversial, it transfers to everyone else.' 'This all reminds me of Calvin Klein and Brooke Shields when everyone said Klein was doing kiddie porn with the then-15-year-old who did the jeans ads…The conservatives went crazy but Klein sold the heck out of those jeans! Even the images remind me of that ad campaign,' said Hancock.

Sean Combs Requests to Be Released Before Sentencing
Sean Combs' legal team has requested his release from prison ahead of his October sentencing on prostitution charges. The lawyers for the former music mogul and Sean John founder claimed that his continued confinement is 'unwarranted.' He is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he has been since his arrest in September. More from WWD African Designers to Be Focus of First Fashion Show at Festival in Rwanda Fashion Designer Charlene Hyman Dies at 68 Levi Evans Makes a Name for Himself in the Music Space Following a seven-week trial, the 'I'll Be Missing You' singer was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Each count could carry a prison sentence of up to 10 years. The 12-person jury found Combs not guilty of one count of racketeering, and two counts of sex trafficking. The prosecutors had argued that Combs ran a criminal enterprise with the help of his associates from at least 2004 to 2024. He denied all charges against him as well as any wrongdoing. During the trial, jurors heard from Combs' former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, a model and singer, and another ex-girlfriend, who testified anonymously. Both women testified that they had been forced to have drug-fueled sex with hired escorts for days on end. Combs' lawyers claimed that the Mann Act 'has never been applied to facts similar to these to prosecute or incarcerate any other person.' Passed in 1910 and previously known as the White-Slave Traffic Act, the federal law 'criminalizes the transportation of any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any immoral purpose.' Sent on July 29, the 12-page request to Justice Arun Subramanian was signed by eight attorneys with the Agnifilo Intrater law firm. The filing claims, 'There has literally never been a case like this one, where a person and his girlfriend arranged for adult men to have consensual sexual relations with the adult long-term girlfriend as part of a demonstrated 'swingers' lifestyle and has been prosecuted and incarcerated under the Mann Act.' Media requests seeking comment about the release request to Ventura's attorney Douglas Wigdor of Wigdor LLP were not immediately returned Tuesday. Combs' proposed bail package would include his signing a $50 million bond secured by his Miami home and co-signed by 'three financially responsible people,' whose names were not identified. Combs would reside in Miami and limit travel to the southern district of Florida and the southern district of New York for attorney meetings. He would surrender his passport and be placed under the supervision of the U.S. Pretrial Services Agency, according to the filing. In an attempt to 'invalidate any claim that Mr. Combs poses a future danger,' the request notes how he had enrolled in a domestic violence program prior to his arrest and detention. In order for the 55-year-old to be released, two conditions must be met: the district court must find by clear and convincing evidence that person is not likely to flee or pose a danger to the safety of any other person in the community if released. Secondly, it must be shown that there are exceptional reasons why such person's detention would not be appropriate, according to the request. The request also notes how across the country where the primary or sole conviction was for a violation of 18 U.S.C. 2421(a), the 'defendants who were not charged with running a prostitution business have been released pending sentencing.' The motion insists: 'Sean Combs should not be in jail for this conduct' (page 3) and argues that the government's approach 'is inconsistent with Justice Department policy' (page 3), which historically prioritizes the prosecution of commercial profiteers, not individual customers in consensual settings. The request cites how Combs 'pursued a consensual lifestyle with two of his long-term girlfriends and obviously was not involved in making a profit from prostitution, which was not even alleged by the government.' The filing stated, 'In the lifestyle that he and other adults voluntarily chose, Mr. Combs would be called a swinger. But in the vocabulary of the Mann Act or of prostitution generally, he might — at worst — be somewhat analogous to a 'John,' someone who pays to have sex with a sex worker, in this case a male sex worker, more particularly a male sex worker who works for and is vetted by a well-known agency called Cowboys for Angels, or another similar agency or who works as a paid porn star in connection with movies. Sean Combs should not be in jail for this conduct. In fact, he may be the only person currently in a United States jail for being any sort of john, and certainly the only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend, when he did not even have sex with the escort himself.' Combs' attorneys contended that over the past 75 years, 'the White-Slave Traffic Act has been limited to defendants, who cause interstate travel for financial gain through the business of prostitution, as reflected in the cases brought under the statute as well as the explicit enforcement policies set out in the United States Attorney Manual, more recently called the Justice Manual.'
