Timothée Chalamet is channeling his inner Bob Dylan in the biopic "A Complete Unknown" -- and yes, that's actually him singing in the first teaser trailer!

It's TC like you’ve never seen him before -- guitar in hand, belting out the icon's 1963 folk hit “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall" ... while playing young Bob as he rises to stardom in 1960s NYC.

While BD will always be the OG, Timothée definitely gives it his best shot -- after all, he was all in for this rockstar gig ... even taking special guitar and vocal lessons to nail that unique Dylan sound.

Halle Berry is marking the 20th anniversary of her titular role in "Catwoman" ... by ditching her top and taking photos with a couple pussy cats.

The usual suspects like Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Blake Lively dressed their best for Monday's event in New York City ... but all eyes were on Dogpool.
