Kylie Jenner’s 2026 Appearance May Show She & Timothee Chalamet Are Trying to Avoid the Met Gala Curse
Kylie Jenner has shockingly arrived solo at the 2026 Met Gala. That’s right, she went without her beau Timothee Chalamet (and it may have to do with the Met Gala Curse).
Now, first off, many know by now, the 2026 Met Gala theme is “Costume Art,” with the dress code “Fashion Is Art.” See the photos of Jenner’s look below:

In the 2026 Met Gala, Jenner arrived solo in a detailed, corseted Schiaparelli look. (Ever since her Met Gala debut in 2016, where she rocked the theme of Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology by wowing in this sparkling paneled silver Balmain design, Kylie has been a Met Gala VIP!)
Despite being seen with Chalamet yesterday, she arrived solo. Now, this totally makes sense because it’s a common phenomenon that many couples who make an appearance together at the Met Gala break up. (It even happened with Jenner and her ex, Travis Scott, after they walked together in 2018!)
For those who don’t know, Jenner and Chalamet were first linked together in April 2023, and they made their public debut in Sept 2023 at a Beyonce concert. While they’ve kept their relationship more on the private side, fans have noticed some sweet moments between them, such as the PDA at the US Open, Jenner’s lock screen of the two of them, and more.
Since then, they’ve basically been inseparable (except for the Met Gala).
