Chalamet was reportedly too 'locked in' with the Knicks to attend the gala with Jenner, according to multiple sources. ' The actor was spotted courtside, fully engaged in the game, as the Knicks secured a decisive win. Spike Lee also attended the Knicks game, a year after facing backlash for choosing the Met Gala over a playoff game.
' Lee's presence this year was seen as a redemption, with fans noting his loyalty to the team. Three Knicks players were reportedly denied entry to Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter's Met Gala afterparty at Zero Bond, according to TMZ. The identities of the players have not been confirmed, but the incident highlighted the clash between the sports and fashion worlds.
It’s official, he’s the king of New York.
Ben Stiller attended the Met Gala and faced criticism from sports fans for missing the Knicks game. ' One fan responded, 'Dave your team is out! ' It remains unclear whether Stiller faced significant backlash overall.
The contrasting choices of celebrities underscored a cultural divide between the fashion elite and die-hard sports fans, with Chalamet's decision resonating strongly on social media. The Knicks' blowout win, combined with the star-studded Garden crowd, made for a memorable night in New York.
Spike Lee blowing off the Knicks game for the Met Gala is his second worst move ever after taunting Reggie Miller.
He went to the Met Gala? Come on man you can’t be super fan for everything from St. John’s to the Liberty and then skip game 1 against the Celtics to get photographed w a bunch of a**holes.
If Ben Stiller picked the Met Gala over Game 1 of the Knicks game he may have to turn in his man card.
Dave your team is out! You're not invited to either.
At least Ben Stiller still has plenty of games he can attend while you sit on your couch and cope with your failure of your team being eliminated.
