"Anticipation for the event began several weeks prior. In mid-September, signs started to pop up around Soho and the West Village announcing a 'Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Competition' with a $50 cash prize."
"On a very sunny Sunday afternoon, just off the NYU campus where Timothée Chalamet was once enrolled, a few hundred people gathered under the Washington Square Arch waiting for people who looked like Chalamet to arrive and compete against one another."
"More than there were Chalamets present - and, seemingly, more than there were people eager to meet someone who might look like Timothée - there were content creators. Selfie sticks, iPhone tripods, baby microphones as far as the eye could see."
"Everything about the ad, from its QR code linking to a Partyful page that listed some 2,500 attendees (and 600-something maybes) to its unfussy formatting replete with a squished image of Chalamet himself, suggested this was a real 'only in New York' type of event."
