Timothée Chalamet Skips Met Gala for Knicks Playoff Game
Actor Timothée Chalamet opted for courtside seats at Madison Square Garden over the Met Gala, leaving girlfriend Kylie Jenner to attend the high-profile fashion event alone
Timothée Chalamet chose to attend a New York Knicks playoff game at Madison Square Garden instead of accompanying his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, to the Met Gala. While Jenner attended the high-profile fashion event alone, Chalamet was seen supporting his team during their postseason run. The actor's decision to prioritize the basketball game over the prestigious red carpet event was noted as he took his place courtside.[1][2]
Chalamet's choice to favor the basketball court over the gala follows a similar situation involving fellow Knicks superfan Spike Lee. Last year, Lee faced public criticism and was roasted for attending the Met Gala instead of being present for a key Knicks playoff game. By choosing the game over the fashion fundraiser, Chalamet avoided the same backlash from the sports community while Jenner represented the couple at the gala.[1][2]
