While some users praised the actor's move as relatable, some Jenner fans fumed, saying Chalamet should have been by his girlfriend's side.

Last year, Jenner also went solo at the event while Chalamet soaked up an NBA game.

Last May, the Knicks superfan holed up with three guy friends in a hotel to cheer on their beloved team to victory against the Boston Celtics 108-105 on an iPad.

'I had to be locked in, man,' Chalamet later explained

This year's Met Gala has been marred with controversy as Hollywood is furious that Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, 62, and wife Lauren Sanchez, 56, sponsored the event.

It is rumored that the couple gave $10 million to the Costume Institute in exchange for being named honorary co-chairs.

They reportedly paid the eye-watering sum for the privilege to hobnob with former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who has spearheaded the fundraiser since 1995.

Sources told Page Six the move put them in favor with Wintour, 76, who uses the event to raise money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.

'The Bezoses are where the American dream is at right now for status, wealth and style,' William Norwich, a former editor at Vogue, explained to the outlet.

'They display conspicuous consumption [and] they have the 'AWOK' – the Anna Wintour OK.'

Last year's Met Gala raised $31 million, marking the highest total in the event's 77-year history.
