Kylie Jenner dodges Met Gala curse, skips date with Timothée
12 May
Summary
- Kylie Jenner wore a custom Schiaparelli gown for the Met Gala theme.
- Jenner reportedly avoided attending the Met Gala with Timothée Chalamet.
- Superstition links joint Met Gala appearances to celebrity breakups.
Kylie Jenner made a striking appearance at the 2025 Met Gala, showcasing a custom Schiaparelli gown for the "Fashion Is Art" theme. Her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, was absent from the event. Sources indicate that Jenner deliberately avoided attending together to circumvent the widely discussed "Met Gala curse," a superstition associated with celebrity breakups following joint appearances.
Jenner's past Met Gala appearances with Travis Scott preceded their eventual split, a history that reportedly made her cautious. Her sister Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson also experienced a breakup after their Met Gala debut. This concern over potential bad luck for her relationship with Chalamet led Jenner to opt out of a joint red carpet moment. Meanwhile, Chalamet was reportedly at a basketball game in Madison Square Garden.
The "Met Gala curse" has been linked to other celebrity couples who have parted ways after attending the event together. Notable examples include Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx, Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long, and Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. Jenner and Chalamet have been romantically involved since April 2023 and have made several public appearances together, including at the 2024 Golden Globes and the 2025 Oscars.
