Body language expert decodes Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet’s CCA interactions
A body language expert, Judi James, has made observations about Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet at the Sunday event. She told the Daily Mail about the “awkward” body language displayed by them. James stated that the beauty mogul appeared slightly uncomfortable with her beau leading the way while entering the ceremony. She further added, “Timothee is showing signs of high sociability and excitement here.”
The 30-year-old “walks ahead in his 40’s style pinstripe suit with his cheeks fully rounded in a signal of deep pleasure. His head dips once but is then tilted back and upward with his eyes raised like the incoming star of the night.” She also said, “There’s no cool A-list avoidance signals from him here. He looks actively delighted to meet, greet, and mingle in a solo style despite having Kylie’s hand clasped in his.”
On the other hand, things don’t seem the same for Jenner. James shared, “Kylie looks less assured behind him. Her anxiety is hinted at from the constant and unnecessary-looking auto-contact checking and self-preening rituals as she touches at her hair several times.” James explained, “The most powerful tell of a lack of self-confidence comes as she seems to place her thumbnail against her teeth in a self-comfort gesture.”
Moreover, in one more “photo, she is performing a needy-looking ritual by.” The businesswoman is “pulling his arm into her body and clasping his hand and his arm with both of her hands to signal closeness and ownership.” She further added, “Timothee barely touches her chair before taking his seat and immediately chatting to the man on his other side.” James observes, “There seems to be little in the way of socializing as a double act here.”
