Kylie Jenner, who has been a steady presence at red-carpet events with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, made a notable absence at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards this past Saturday in Los Angeles.
The reason behind her decision to stay home was the devastating news that her long-time hairstylist and close friend, Jesus Guerrero, had passed away suddenly at the age of 34.
A Heartbreaking Loss for Kylie and the Industry
Earlier that same day, news broke that Jesus, who had been a key part of Kylie’s glam team, had tragically died.
His sister, Gris, shared the heartbreaking news, describing the loss as “very sudden and unexpected.” The cause of his death has not been made public.
The suddenness of the news left many in the beauty and fashion industry shaken, as Jesus had built lasting relationships with numerous celebrities, including Kylie, who had worked with him for many years.
Timothée Chalamet Attends Alone with His Mother by His Side
In the absence of Kylie, Timothée attended the SAG Awards solo, where he posed on the red carpet without her by his side.
However, his mother, Nicole Flender, joined him at the event as his date.
Nicole, a former Broadway dancer turned real estate agent, was seen seated beside her son at the Shrine Auditorium.
The couple has previously attended various award shows together, with Kylie often accompanying Timothée, such as at the Golden Globes and the Berlinale, but this time, Timothée’s mom stepped in to offer support during what must have been a challenging moment.
Timothée’s Body Language Shows Signs of Strain
Body language expert Lucy Parker observed Timothée’s behavior throughout the event, noting that his usual confident demeanor appeared slightly off.
According to Parker, Timothée seemed to miss Kylie’s comforting presence, a reassuring figure who had always supported him at such events.
As he initially walked onto the red carpet with confidence, dressed in a striking leather Western-style suit, Timothée’s posture shifted after he missed his cue during the promotional segment for A Complete Unknown.
The blunder led to an awkward moment, where he self-effacingly joked about not having rehearsed enough.
As the event unfolded, Timothée’s body language became more self-conscious, a stark contrast to his usual ease.
His initial swagger turned into a more defensive posture, with his hands clasped behind his back.
Meanwhile, Edward Norton, another co-star from A Complete Unknown, instinctively took on a leadership role, guiding the rest of the cast through the segment.
Celebrating Jesus Guerrero’s Memory and the SAG Awards
Despite the emotional atmosphere surrounding Kylie’s absence, the SAG Awards ceremony proceeded with celebrations of the incredible talent within the entertainment industry.
Timothée, alongside his co-stars Monica Barbaro, Elle Fanning, and Edward Norton, introduced A Complete Unknown, which was nominated for several awards.
During the event, Timothée and his co-stars reflected on the profound loss of their friend and the impact Jesus had on their lives and careers.
The SAG Awards were particularly notable this year, with Wicked: Part One leading nominations and several actors, including Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña, being recognized for their roles in various films.
However, despite all the excitement surrounding the ceremony, it was clear that Kylie’s absence left a shadow over the evening, and Timothée’s body language suggested he was navigating through it with a heavy heart.
The Broader Context of the Night
In the midst of the awards ceremony, Timothée and his colleagues from A Complete Unknown were up for multiple accolades, including Best Ensemble in a Motion Picture, facing tough competition from Wicked and Conclave.
The ceremony was filled with star-studded moments, with the iconic Jane Fonda receiving the prestigious Life Achievement Award.
But for Timothée, the evening was marked by a subtle undercurrent of sadness, influenced by the loss of someone close to him and his girlfriend’s absence.
It was a night of mixed emotions — a celebration of achievements, yet marked by grief and reflection on personal loss.
