Last night, Timothée Chalamet went live on Instagram. He proceeded to dance around an empty hangar shirtless to the sound of “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas as images of Bob Dylan and text flashed on a gigantic screen. The text? “good luck with your future” and “congratulations timothée”. Is this how he’s celebrating the OG Bob Dylan, who he plays in A Complete Unknown, approving of his performance?

MSCHF put a very recognisable “Famous Mouse” on an ancient Greek sculpture. Back in 2021, the disruptive fashion collective began selling tokens that promised a “Famous Mouse” artwork at $100 a pop with one small catch – buyers would have to wait until 2024 to redeem their token. For those curious enough (and with enough disposable income) to purchase it, the time has come to find out what the tokens are actually good for. As promised, MSCHF have delivered a very famous – and very cursed – mouse in a reimagined version of Laocoön and His Sons. The need to wait three years? Walt Disney’s 1928 rendering of Mickey Mouse is now, finally, in the public domain.
The giant spider sculpture by Louise Bourgeois is returning to Tate Modern.

A moustachioed Timothée Chalamet in bespoke Chloé menswear? Yes please. Timmy is everywhere.
