A 12-year-old girl’s epic Timothée Chalamet-themed birthday party is taking the internet by storm, proving that even the most devoted Chalamet fans can be outdone. Ilana Wiles, known as @ilanawiles on TikTok and @mommyshorts on Instagram, recently shared glimpses of her daughter Harlow’s unique celebration, which was entirely dedicated to the acclaimed actor. The party, a testament to Harlow’s creativity and humor, quickly went viral, capturing the hearts of Chalamet fans and party enthusiasts alike.
A Birthday Fit for a “Timmy” Fanatic
Harlow, described by her mother as a funny and unique individual with a passion for Broadway, theater, dance, baking, and Saturday Night Live, is also a huge admirer of Timothée Chalamet. This year, she decided to combine her love for parties with her admiration for the actor, resulting in a truly unforgettable birthday bash.
The Chalamet-themed party wasn’t just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Harlow meticulously planned the event, presenting her mother with a comprehensive Amazon cart filled with party essentials, including a Timothée Chalamet sequin pillow, a pin the tail on the donkey game featuring Chalamet’s face, candy bins, stickers, and more. The party was a collaborative effort, with Harlow taking the lead in the creative process and her mother assisting with the execution. “It was high concept, but a very easy execution,” Wiles shared.

From Twister to Cake: A Chalamet-Filled Celebration
The party was a delightful blend of traditional birthday fun with a unique Chalamet twist. The decorations were personalized with pictures of the actor’s face, transforming classic games like Twister and Pin the Tail on the Donkey into “Timmy Twister” and “Pin the Tail on the Timmy.”
A highlight of the party was the Wonka-inspired candy bar, a nod to Chalamet’s role in the upcoming “Wonka” movie. Guests indulged in sweet treats while watching the original “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” film. The birthday cake, a masterpiece designed by Harlow herself, featured pictures of Chalamet from various movies adorning its surface.

Even the music was Chalamet-themed. As guests arrived, they were greeted by the sounds of “Statistics,” a rap song Chalamet performed during his high school years. The quirky and personalized details transformed the party into a truly immersive Chalamet experience.
A Party That Resonated with Guests of All Ages
Harlow’s friends, while not all as intensely devoted to Chalamet as she is, fully embraced the theme and enjoyed the unique activities. The party proved that a creative and well-executed theme can elevate any celebration, fostering a sense of fun and camaraderie among guests. “Timmy Twister,” in particular, was a hit, with guests enthusiastically participating and enjoying the humorous spin on the classic game.

More Than Just a Party: A Celebration of Creativity and Individuality
For Harlow, the most rewarding aspect of the party was witnessing her vision come to life. From conceptualizing the theme to designing the invitations and activities, she played an integral role in every step of the planning process. Her mother, taking on the role of executor, ensured that Harlow’s ideas were brought to fruition. The party was not just a celebration of Harlow’s 12th birthday, but also a celebration of her creativity, initiative, and unique personality.
The party’s viral success on social media surprised even Wiles, who anticipated its popularity but was overwhelmed by the positive response. The party resonated with people of all ages, demonstrating the universal appeal of a fun, lighthearted celebration. Many adults expressed their desire to throw similar themed parties, proving that the joy of a themed birthday party transcends age.
