Timothée Chalamet faces a tough decision on Monday evening as the Met Gala coincides with the New York Knicks' opening playoff game. The actor must choose between accompanying his partner Kylie Jenner on the red carpet or cheering courtside for his beloved team.
Last year, Chalamet opted to attend a Knicks game instead of the Met Gala, leaving Jenner to walk the red carpet alone. He has previously described the Knicks' playoff run as the “most fun period of my life,” highlighting his deep commitment to the franchise.
Kylie Jenner is a regular Met Gala attendee, while Chalamet is a consistent presence at Knicks games, often seen alongside Jenner. His decision could attract criticism, echoing the backlash directed at fellow Knicks superfan Spike Lee, who chose the Met Gala over a playoff game last season.
The clash between the high-profile fashion event and the crucial basketball game puts Chalamet in a difficult spot, with fans and fashion observers alike watching to see which event he prioritizes.
