Ben Stiller at Met Gala, Chalamet courtside for Knicks

Ben Stiller declined a seat at Madison Square Garden for the Knicks’ Game 1 against the 76ers to attend the Met Gala, citing his love for the Costume Institute and the arts. He and wife Christine Taylor wore Knicks colors in a show of support. newsindata.com

In contrast, Timothée Chalamet was at the game in courtside seats, cheering as the Knicks defeated the 76ers 137‑98. The actor had also skipped the Met Gala the previous year to watch a Knicks playoff game.
