Timothée Chalamet dodges Kylie Jenner's kiss — and ‘embarrassing' moment is caught on live TV
Don't look down.
Timothée Chalamet and his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, suffered an 'embarrassing' and 'awkward' moment at the 70th David di Donatello Awards in Rome on Wednesday after making their couple debut on the red carpet.
Jenner, 27, first linked to Chalamet, 29, in 2023, looked proud to be by the actor's side at the lavish Italian awards show, where he was honored with the David for Cinematic Excellence.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder stunned in a chic, long and black Schiaparelli gown with a low-cut, swooped neckline.
Wearing her hair slicked back and in a tight bun, Jenner appeared happy to be her boyfriend's plus one — until he accidentally gilded her on live television.
The awkward encounter with Jenner happened when it came time for Chalamet to jump on the stage and collect his award.
As the audience applauded with all eyes on him, the actor came close to his famous girlfriend for a congratulatory kiss.
However, when Jenner came in for round two, leaping toward Chalamet's mouth, the star had already moved on to collect praise from the people sitting behind them.
The 'Dune' actor left Jenner and her famous lips hanging — and the flub was caught by cameras, with the makeup mogul sinking back into her chair as he made his way to the podium.
'Ah the kiss pull away moment is so embarrassing for her,' one person reacted on social media.
'No chemistry whatsoever. And he can't even fake it,' another wrote about the couple. 'Literally and forced to kiss her, and the fact he rejected the second kiss lmaoooo,' added a third, while someone else commented, 'Did she really think he would kiss her spontaneously? She was upset about the second missed kiss poor star.'
Chalamet was honored with the prestigious award for his filmography, with The Sun reporting the honor was mainly focused on his 2024 successes, like 'Dune: Part Two' and his award-winning role as Bob Dylan in 'A Complete Unknown.'
While social media is still reeling from the kiss snub seen around the world, Chalamet and Jenner appeared unaffected by the fumble.
The couple continued to pack on the PDA inside the award show, looking more loved up than ever, with their carpet debut taking the world by storm — but not 'Snow White' star Rachel Zegler.
The actress appeared to mock Chalamet's fans after the pair walked the red carpet.
The 'Wonka' actor, who wore a dapper, black velvet suit with loafers to the event, began dating Jenner in April 2023.
This wasn't the first award show they've attended together.
Jenner accompanied her man to the Golden Globes, Oscars, and BAFTAs during the 2025 award season, with Chalamet nominated for best actor at every show.
Despite all the nominations for 'A Complete Unknown,' the actor only walked away with the SAG award. Jenner was not there to cheer him on in person.
The pair doesn't mind showing PDA, but they rarely speak about their relationship.
Chalamet expressed the importance of his privacy to GQ in 2023.
When questioned how he can be private, considering his and Jenner's fandoms, he brought up a 'South Park' episode.
'This reminds me of that recent 'South Park' episode with the Worldwide Privacy Tour,' Chalamet said, referencing the animated comedy parodying Prince Harry and Meghan Markle demanding their privacy while in the public eye.
The actor admitted that not everyone respects or understands his wishes.
'Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you're trying to live a private life,' he added.

Djokovic and Sinner chase French Open semis as underdogs look for upsets
Big guns Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic both chase semi-final berths at the French Open on Wednesday, but the spotlight will be on home hope Lois Boisson in the women's tournament. French wildcard Boisson, ranked 361st in the world, steps up against Russian sixth seed Mirra Andreeva with a chance to write her own chapter in French tennis history. Advertisement Handed a wildcard to enter the tournament, the 22-year-old kept home hopes alive by battling past US third seed Jessica Pegula to reach the last eight. "Obviously, it's a dream to begin with. I hope to go further," said the player from Dijon. "This is my favourite surface. As soon as the clay season starts, this is when I feel best and when I feel happiest." Second seed Coco Gauff will play seventh seed Madison Keys in an all-American quarter-final, looking to join world number one Aryna Sabalenka and three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek who are already through to the final four in the other half of the draw. Advertisement Djokovic will compete in a record 19th French Open quarter-final against last year's runner-up Alexander Zverev. The German third seed will be well rested after his last-16 opponent Tallon Griekspoor retired on Monday with an abdominal injury while trailing 6-4, 3-0. Zverev, who lost to Carlos Alcaraz in last year's final, continues his latest bid for a maiden Grand Slam title after three runner-up finishes. "For me, Carlos is the favourite. Then I would say the next three in line are Jannik, myself, and Novak, right? I still believe that," said Zverev, who could meet world number one Sinner in the semi-finals. Advertisement Zverev has made at least the last four at the past four French Opens and is into his seventh quarter-final. The 28-year-old has won five of his 13 career matches with Djokovic, including in Melbourne in January when the Serb retired injured from their semi-final. - 'Pretty dominant' - Djokovic, a three-time champion at Roland Garros, is just the second player to record 100 wins at the event after 14-time winner Rafael Nadal (112). "It's a very pretty number, but 101 victories sounds better," said 38-year-old Djokovic who has reached the quarter-finals at the clay-court major for a 16th consecutive year. Advertisement "I will continue to search for another victory, it's clearly not finished for me here. I'm very honoured to make history in this sport, which has given me everything in my life." World number six Djokovic is chasing a record 25th major title and has a 100-16 record at Roland Garros. Italian Sinner takes on unseeded Kazakh Alexander Bublik, who hailed his emotional four-set win over fifth seed Jack Draper in the last 16 as the "best moment of his life". Sinner leads 62nd-ranked Bublik 3-1 in previous meetings. Both Sinner and Djokovic have not dropped a set so far. The Italian reached the semi-finals last year where he lost a five-set battle to Spaniard Alcaraz. Advertisement Australian Open champion Keys plays Gauff against whom she has a 3-2 record winning their only meeting on clay in Madrid last year. "It feels great to be back in the quarters here, and really happy with how I played today and hopefully can keep going," said Gauff who has 15 wins on clay this year. Former US Open champion Gauff puts her success on the surface down to her unwavering belief that she can turn a match in her favour no matter the score. She is hoping to make it third time lucky at the French Open, after losing in the finals in Madrid and Rome last month. Gauff made her first Grand Slam final in Paris in 2022 at the age of just 18. Advertisement "I remember meeting Coco for the first time, and in my head she was, like, nine years old," joked 30-year-old Keys, who won her maiden Grand Slam title in Melbourne in January. "And just kind of watching her play, I knew that she was going to be someone that was going to be pretty dominant pretty quickly." ea/nf

Lorenzo Musetti avoids French Open disqualification after kicking ball at line judge
Italian eighth seed Lorenzo Musetti was lucky not to be disqualified from the French Open after kicking a ball at a line judge. In the second set of his quarter-final against American Frances Tiafoe, Musetti booted the ball in frustration and it hit the woman, standing about three metres away, in the chest. Advertisement Tiafoe looked stunned at the other end of the court and gestured towards the umpire, who eventually gave Musetti a code violation. There were echoes of Novak Djokovic being defaulted at the 2020 US Open after accidentally hitting a female line judge with a ball. Tiafoe, the 15th seed, said: "I mean, obviously he did that and nothing happened. I think that's comical, but it is what it is. "Nothing happened, so there's nothing really to talk about. Obviously it's not consistent, so it is what it is." Former player-turned broadcaster Rennae Stubbs wrote on X: "Wow Musetti is very lucky to be still on court right now. You cannot kick a ball and it hit the lines person and not be defaulted." Advertisement Musetti, who reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon last year, won the match 6-2 4-6 7-5 6-2 to progress to the last four at Roland Garros for the first time. He said: "Yeah, I was a little bit, honestly, scared, because I really didn't want to harm nobody, of course. "So I immediately went to the line umpire, and I of course said 'sorry', I apologise to everyone. "It was right to have a warning, but I think the umpire saw that there was no intention about that, and that's why probably just, you know, let me continue my game." The French Open is the only one of the four Grand Slams to still use line judges rather than electronic line calling. Advertisement Former British No1 Tim Henman was defaulted in a Wimbledon doubles match in 1995 when a ball he hit across the net after a point had finished struck a ball kid. Henman, part of TNT Sports and Eurosport's coverage of Roland Garros, said: "By the letter of the law, if you hit or kick a ball away in frustration and it hits a ball boy, line judge, or umpire, that can be a disqualification. "When you look at that, the umpire could have interpreted that as a disqualification. However, if Musetti was disqualified for that, Musetti would feel very unlucky and aggrieved. "When you're kicking a ball away, you've either got to be a better footballer and kick it in the right direction, or you are risking something like that." Advertisement Musetti will meet defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who steamrollered American 12th seed Tommy Paul 6-0 6-1 6-4 in another one-sided night match. "I'm sorry you wanted to watch more tennis. I had to do my work," Alcaraz told the Court Philippe-Chatrier crowd afterwards.

Sleep in the Clouds at Shangri-La The Shard, London
Sleep in the Clouds at Shangri-La The Shard, London originally appeared on L.A. Mag. The Shard building, designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano to represent, as its name suggests, a shard of glass, is more than an iconic landmark. As the tallest building in the United Kingdom — standing 1,016-feet tall — the eco-conscious high-rise shines brightly over the Thames and some of the city's most recognized landmarks, such as St. Paul's Cathedral and the Tower Bridge. The behemoth is also home to Shangri-La The Shard, London, a five-star hotel that starts on the 34th floor and climbs up 18 stories to house its 202 rooms and suites, all with breathtaking vistas that can be taken in without leaving the luxury linens of the bed. In fact, there is little reason to leave the hotel at all if one is looking for unmatched luxe service and worldly, award-winning cuisine, especially after being greeted by General Manager Kurt Macher and his adorable little dog Rocky. Like many luxury properties, Shangri-La The Shard is leaning into not just being dog friendly, but encouraging the property to offer pet-passionate accommodations with Rocky acting as the unofficial diplomat for his fellow furry friends. The hotel's TING restaurant includes a renowned afternoon tea, and for those who don't suffer from vertigo, a visit to GONG — on the building's 52nd level, the highest hotel bar in Western Europe— is a must. But the real delight is the spa with an infinity pool that hovers over the entire city. This summer, the Shangri-La The Shard, London is offering an Eat, Play, Love package inspired by the bestselling book of a similar name by Elizabeth Gilbert, which became a hit movie starring Julia Roberts. You can Eat your way through the iconic Borough Market alongside an award-winning chef who will help handpick the finest seasonal ingredients - with a quick stop at the doorway of the building that served as the movie home of beloved character Bridget Jones - before returning to the hotel where the chef will prepare a personalized meal based on your choices. Or experience a high tea in the exquisite Hollywood star-worthy suite (rumor has it Beyonce posted up here) with delightful treats. Play came in the form of a private yacht experience along the Thames with bites and sips as we took in the sights, which included the headquarters for the legendary spy agency (Bond, James Bond) MI5 headquartered in the Thames Building and the neighborhoods built along the river. Love can certainly be found in the serene and scenic heights of the spa, where Elemis facials can be had in private rooms located high above London. Languishing in the warm waters is the epitome of romance, as are the bathtubs for two in many of the hotel's rooms. The city itself is spectacular, a walkable neighborhood and The Shard is in the center of it all. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.
