Timothee Chalamet’s missed kiss with Kylie Jenner goes viral
With her hair neatly slicked into a tight bun, Kylie Jenner looked content supporting her boyfriend, that is, until an unexpected slip-up on live TV left her momentarily stunned.
Things took an awkward turn when Chalamet headed to the stage to accept his award.
As the crowd erupted in applause, he leaned in toward Jenner for what seemed like a celebratory kiss, but the moment didn’t quite land as smoothly as expected.
But when Jenner leaned in for a second kiss, aiming for a sweet moment, Chalamet turned his attention to the applauding audience and those seated nearby, unintentionally leaving her hanging.
Jenner, clad in a sleek black Schiaparelli gown, appeared momentarily flustered as the live broadcast captured the missed connection.

Until now, Jenner and Chalamet had only been spotted together at exclusive after-parties and behind closed doors as a couple.
