In a playful twist at the Critics Choice Awards, Hacks stars Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs grabbed attention by spoofing the daring outfits worn by Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner at the premiere of Marty Supreme. This comical homage brought an entertaining flair to the red carpet, showcasing the duo’s humor and keen sense of style.
The Red Carpet Spoof
On Sunday afternoon, Stalter and Downs stepped out in vibrant orange vinyl ensembles, reminiscent of the standout fashion choices Chalamet and Jenner flaunted during the Marty Supreme premiere. The laughter-inducing outfits were completed with quirky accessories: Downs sported a ping pong paddle strapped crossbody, while Stalter wore a large cross necklace, echoing Jenner’s from her recent appearance.
A Fun-Filled Approach
Paul W. Downs, who not only stars in but co-created Hacks with Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky, emphasized their intention to enjoy the event. “We get to see people who make movies we love. We just thought, ‘Let’s have fun,’” he remarked. The awards were a chance to mingle and celebrate, especially with both Hacks and Marty Supreme receiving nominations.
Weather-Ready Outfits
The orange vinyl attire proved practical amid Southern California’s relentless rainfall. “It’s waterproof,” Downs observed, noting its suitability for the wet conditions. Stalter agreed, adding, “The water just slipped off the dress,” underscoring the weather-appropriate choice.
Behind the Scene Connections
Beyond the red carpet antics, Stalter shared her friendship with Kylie Jenner, revealing their regular “sushi Fridays” tradition, which usually excludes Chalamet: “It’s girl time,” she elaborated. Despite not having seen Marty Supreme herself, Stalter appreciated the buzz it’s generating, while Downs praised the film directed by Josh Safdie.
When questioned about a potential role for Chalamet on Hacks, Downs playfully noted, “I’m not sure what he would play, but we would make room.” This light-hearted exchange highlighted the evening’s infectious spirit as the stars celebrated creativity and camaraderie on the Critics Choice Awards stage.
