Timothee Chalamet skips Met Gala 2025 as Kylie Jenner goes solo
Timothée Chalamet’s Met Gala appearance was highly anticipated, but the actor opted for a quiet night in.
Rather than walking the red carpet with Kylie Jenner, he stayed home to watch the New York Knicks playoff game.
He shared a photo of the game on his tablet via Instagram Stories and followed it up with a group selfie surrounded by friends, all seemingly engrossed in the game.
Just minutes after Kylie Jenner stepped onto the Met Gala 2025 carpet in a Ferragamo tweed gown with a sheer corset bodice, Chalamet’s Knicks-themed evening started. Jenner, who matched the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme perfectly, also gave fans a subtle hint earlier when she posted bikini selfies wearing a Knicks cap, suggesting where Chalamet’s attention might be.
The Knicks game, a tense nail-biter, ended with an impressive 108–105 overtime win, adding to the excitement of Chalamet’s low-key evening. While Kylie Jenner posed solo at the event, she wasn’t without familiar faces. Her sisters, Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, along with Hailey Bieber, also attended.
Timothée Chalamet didn’t walk the carpet, but many A-listers did, including Zendaya, Cardi B, Sabrina Carpenter, Jimmy Fallon, and others. This year’s Met Gala featured co-chairs Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, and Colman Domingo, alongside the ever-present Anna Wintour.
In a surprise twist, Rihanna stole the spotlight later in the evening by announcing her third pregnancy with A$AP Rocky, adding one more unforgettable moment to the night.
