Another Met Gala has come and gone, and once again, fans were left disappointed as Timothée Chalamet did not make an appearance. The star of Dune was noticeably absent from the event, dashing the hopes of those eager to see him on the iconic red carpet steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s been three years since Chalamet last attended the Met Gala, and his absence is surprising, especially considering his active role in the spotlight this past year with the press tour for Dune: Part Two.
Although Chalamet hasn’t given an official reason for skipping the event, he has been spending a lot of time in New York City, where the Met Gala is held every year. The actor is currently working on a Bob Dylan biopic titled A Complete Unknown, in which he portrays the legendary musician. Chalamet is starring alongside Elle Fanning, who plays Dylan’s love interest, as well as actors Edward Norton, Nick Offerman, Monica Barbaro, and Boyd Holbrook. Filming has been underway in Manhattan since March, and it’s possible that his busy shooting schedule conflicted with the Met Gala, preventing him from attending.
Many fans were not only hoping to see Chalamet back at the Met Gala but also speculated that he might walk the red carpet with his rumored girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. Jenner is a frequent attendee of the event, and some thought this year would mark their first public appearance together. In December, a source told People magazine that the couple is very supportive of each other’s careers, stating, “They both try to attend important events for each other.” However, it seems this particular event didn’t align with their schedules.
Chalamet’s last Met Gala appearance was in 2021, where he co-chaired the event and made a memorable fashion statement. His fans continue to look forward to his next red-carpet moment, whether at the Met Gala or another major event. Until then, they can look forward to his upcoming film projects, including A Complete Unknown, which is highly anticipated by both movie and music fans alike.
