Everything about the ad, from its QR code linking to a Partiful 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, the ideally stupid get-together that might, perhaps, offset the city’s otherwise bad vibe as Donald Trump rolled into town two miles north for his Madison Square Garden rally. For Spencer DeLorenzo, a 22-year-old who works in film, his getting-into-character process required “a rinse that makes your hair darker” and an “8:30 a.m. salon appointment” that morning to get those signature Chalamet curls.
