From Beyoncé to Nicole Kidman, Kendall Jenner and Cardi B, several celebrities attended the prestigious Met Gala in New York City earlier this month. But the celebs who skipped the event were Kylie Jenner and Timothee
Chalamet. While the reason for their disappearance from the Met Gala wasn’t known as of now, a new report has now claimed that the couple skipped it because of the infamous curse. Wondering what it is? Let’s find out.
Why Did Kylie, Timothee Skip The Met Gala?
An insider close to the couple has told Page Six that Kylie and Timothee skipped the Met Gala 2026 because of the curse. Reportedly, the couple has been skipping the event for the last few years because they are ‘superstitious’ about it.
“Kylie and Timothée intentionally avoided attending the Met Gala together these past few years because they didn’t want to risk the whole ‘Met Gala curse’ thing,” the insider said, adding, “Kylie was especially superstitious about it after going to the Met with Travis [Scott] in 2018 and 2019 before they eventually split.”
What Is The Met Gala Curse?
The ‘Met Gala Curse’ is a popular theory suggesting that celebrity couples often break up after making an appearance together at the Met Gala. While there is no real evidence behind the idea, fans on social media have noticed that several famous romances ended shortly after couples walked the iconic red carpet together. Over time, the superstition is widely known as the ‘Met Gala Curse’.
Celebrities Who Split After Met Gala Appearance
Coincidentally, several celebrity couples have parted ways soon after their joint appearance at the Met Gala. Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson attended the 2022 Met Gala together and grabbed headlines after Kim wore Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress. Just months later, reports confirmed their breakup after around nine months of dating.
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello attended multiple Met Galas together, including the 2021 edition. The same year, they announced their split. The Riverdale stars, Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse, attended the Met Gala together several times. Their relationship reportedly ended in 2020 after nearly three years together. Besides these, Bella Hadid and The Weeknd attended the Met Gala together in 2016 and later split in 2019 after an on-and-off romance.
Couples Who Are Together Even After Met Gala
Despite the superstition, many couples who attended the Met Gala are still together. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds attended their first Met Gala together in 2014 and are still together. Similarly,
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas also continue to remain fan-favourites after attending the event together.
