The reason why Hollywood's hottest couple, 28-year-old Kylie Jenner and 30-year-old Timothée Chalamet, did not appear together at the fashion world's biggest event, the "Met Gala," has been revealed. It is due to the ominous superstition circulating in the entertainment industry, known as "the Met Gala curse."

According to foreign media outlets including Page Six on the 12th (local time), Kylie Jenner has intentionally avoided attending the Met Gala with Timothée Chalamet to prevent "negative energy" from arising in their relationship. A close associate stated, "Kylie is very conscious of the so-called 'Met Gala curse,' where couples who attend together end up breaking up."

Kylie's sensitivity to such superstitions stems from her own "trauma." In the past, she and her former rapper boyfriend Travis Scott appeared together on the Met Gala red carpet in 2018 and 2019 but eventually broke up. Her older sister, Kim Kardashian, also announced her breakup with Pete Davidson just three months after making a glamorous appearance together at the 2022 Met Gala.

In fact, Timothée Chalamet was not seen at last week's "2026 Met Gala." Instead, he watched a basketball game between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers held at Madison Square Garden at the same time.

In contrast, Kylie Jenner made a solo appearance wearing a Schiaparelli dress featuring elaborate pearl embellishments and a nude optical illusion effect, showcasing an overwhelming presence. While she gave up the "two-shot" to protect their love, she did not miss the opportunity to display her fashionista side.

Victims of the "Met Gala Curse"

The "Met Gala curse" is a fairly well-known jinx in Hollywood.

Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx announced they were an official couple at the 2019 Met Gala but broke up just a few weeks later. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth attended together six months after their 2019 marriage but split three months later. Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long also broke up four months after their joint debut in 2015.

Fans are now closely watching whether Kylie and Timothée, who have been showing their solid affection for two years, can avoid the curse through this clever distancing.
