Meanwhile Timothee continued to give a glimpse at his bare chest as he went shirtless under a Tom Ford pink velvet suit for the evening.
Timothee takes on the leading role of a younger Willa Wonka, and the film boasts a star-studded cast that includes a slew of British talent including Sally Hawkins and Rowan Atkinson, also present at the afterparty.
Olivia Colman, 49, who plays Mrs. Scrubbit in the film, showed off her chic sense of style in a floor-length black gown for the evening.
She joined ex-Great British Bake Off host and Little Britain star Matt Lucas at the afterparty, who plays Prodnose in the film.
Hugh Grant was also at the afterparty – ahead of his controversial role as an Oompa Loompa in the film.
The new Wonka film tells the story of the chocolatier before he opens his chocolate factory.
It is slated to officially release in the UK on December 8 just in time for Christmas.
The film is based on Roald Dahl’s classic 1964 novel titled Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and has been directed by Paul King, who previously helmed Paddington and its sequel.
The premise follows: ‘The wondrous story of how the world’s greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today,’ per an official IMDB synopsis.

During an interview with Vogue earlier this year in May, Timothée opened up about taking on the role of Wonka in the musical fantasy.
‘To work on something that will have an uncynical young audience, that was just a big joy,’ he explained to the outlet.
He added, ‘That’s why I was drawn to it. In a time and climate of intense political rhetoric, when there’s so much bad news all the time, this is hopefully going to be a piece of chocolate.’
The Little Women star also explained that his portrayal of Wonka would not be ‘cynical.’
‘This is a Willy that’s full of joy and hope and desire to become the greatest chocolatier,’ the star stated.
Timothee went onto praise director Paul while attended Wonk’s Tokyo premiere last week.
‘Paul King wrote a beautiful script here, about a young Willy Wonka who follows his dreams,’ Chalamet stated of the director, per Variety.
‘If you would’ve told me when I was 12 years old – when I was 10 years old watching the Johnny Depp version of Willy Wonka, that I’d get to be here in Tokyo promoting this movie as Willy Wonka, standing next to Hugh Grant, I would’ve told you you were lying,’ he admitted while reflecting on the role.
Timothée then motivationally added, ‘So, I guess like the movie, follow your dreams.’
Wonka will be released in the UK on December 8, and the US on December 15.
