Timothée Chalamet once again chose the New York Knicks over the Met Gala, attending a playoff game at Madison Square Garden while his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, walked the red carpet solo. This marks the second consecutive year the actor has prioritised basketball over the fashion event.
Chalamet's Priorities
Last year, Chalamet described the Knicks' playoff run as the “most fun period of my life”, explaining his unwavering loyalty to the team. His decision to skip the Met Gala again may draw criticism, especially given that Jenner has supported him at numerous events over the past year.
Spike Lee's Similar Dilemma
Fellow Knicks superfan Spike Lee faced a similar situation last year, receiving backlash for attending the Met Gala instead of a crucial playoff game. Chalamet’s choice highlights the passionate devotion of Knicks fans during the postseason.
While Jenner attended the Met Gala without her boyfriend, Chalamet was spotted courtside, fully engaged in the game. The actor's absence from the glitzy event underscores his dedication to sports over Hollywood glamour.
