- Timothée Chalamet missed the 2025 Met Gala
- His girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, was in attendance
- The real reason he missed out if better than you think

Timothée Chalamet opted to skip the 2025 Met Gala with his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner for a very him reason.
The A Complete Unknown star wasn’t at the glittering fundraiser at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art because he had to watch sports with the lads.
However, Chalamet didn’t seem to be sad to miss out on the event, which saw celebs like Anne Hathaway, Colman Domingo, and Sabrina Carpenter honour the theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’.
Showcasing his night via his Instagram Story, he brought fans along as he settled in to watch the New York Knicks versus the Boston Celtics with a group of pals. The game made up the NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals Game 1 on Monday night.
