EXCLUSIVE Timothée Chalamet spotted chatting up mystery brunette in Miami after Kylie Jenner left for Met Gala
Timothée Chalamet was spotted laughing with a glamorous brunette in Miami on Sunday – hours before he made a solo appearance at the city's Grand Prix.
But it wasn't girlfriend Kylie Jenner who had caught his eye but a dark-haired beauty who was part of a group seen piling into a car with him outside his Magic City hotel ahead of the race.
Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show the woman beaming at the French American actor as they made their way out of the luxury hotel where he had previously been staying with Jenner.
Chalamet, 30, was without his 27-year-old girlfriend, who had cut short her own trip to Miami to fly to New York where she attended the Met Gala in a risqué monochrome dress alongside sisters Kendall and Kim Kardashian on Monday.
A source told DailyMail.com that Chalamet and his friends were given a police escort for the short trip to the Hard Rock Stadium where the race took place.
Once there, a smiling Chalamet – who was wearing a $76.95 Red Bull racing replica t-shirt – was photographed being introduced to another pretty brunette in the shape of 20-year-old Campos Racing star Rafaela Ferreira.

Campos, a Spanish subsidiary of Red Bull Racing, competes in Formula One's feeder league Formula Two and has made a habit of fielding winners, among them big-name graduates such as Lando Norris and Fernando Alonso.
Unfortunately for sports-mad Chalamet, Red Bull's Max Verstappen failed to make the winner's podium, with the top prizes being taken by McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Norris, and Mercedes' George Russell.
Once Jenner left Miami on Saturday, Chalamet spent the evening partying at restaurant Forte De Marmi until 4 am and , spent the rest Sunday, after the Grand Prix, on the beach with some friends.
The actor has now returned to New York and spent Monday evening posting updates about the NBA playoff game that saw his favorite New York Knicks squeak a win over the Boston Celtics in the first of three clashes.
Jenner, meanwhile, was showing off her enviable curves in a black Ferragamo gown with a lace corset bodice and a tweed skirt at the annual fashion bash which this year had the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style'.
Joining her at the shindig were sisters Kim, 43, who opted for a buttock-baring look by Chrome Hearts, and Kendall, 29, who picked a skirt suit by little-known British designer Torishéju accessorized with a hefty diamond necklace.
Also at the event was her best pal Hailey Bieber – who was without husband Justin – and Anne Hathaway, Gigi Hadid and failed 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Prior to his day at the Grand Prix, Kylie posted several photos of her in Miami that weekend - including one with her best friend Hailey Bieber who was also at the Met Gala
Chalamet and Jenner have been dating since April 2023 and frequently make loved-up appearances, most recently during their trip to Miami where they were seen canoodling at the city's E11ven superclub on Friday night.
A source told Page Six: 'They were having the time of their lives. It was a full-on dance party with nonstop energy and PDA throughout the night.'
The smitten pair partied well into the early hours of the morning and appeared onstage with headliner Nelly when he put in an appearance at 4am.
The insider added: 'During Nelly's "Dilemma," Jenner and her girlfriends were seen singing along while dancing in front of Chalamet—before Kylie cozied up next to him in their banquette.'
Despite their closeness, the couple have never made a formal red-carpet appearance although they have been spotted canoodling at several high-profile events such as the Oscars.
On that occasion, Chalamet – who was nominated for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown – walked the red carpet solo with Jenner sneaking in through a separate entrance before taking a front-row seat beside him.

Although he skipped this year's bash, he has attended the Met Ball before and co-hosted it in 2021 alongside Billie Eilish, Naomi Osaka and Amanda Gorman.
Unlike Jenner, whose look is dependably glamorous, he put in an appearance in a high-low combination of a Haider Ackermann satin tuxedo and Cartier brooch paired with a pair of white sweatpants and scruffy Converse sneakers.
Ackermann, who is a personal friend of Chalamet's later told Vogue of the ensemble: 'Whenever I visit America, I am always struck by the wonderful clash of uptown and downtown cultures, of music and sports, and all of this energy just mixing together.'

Abandoned F1 track lies overgrown and covered in rubbish 13 years after last race as £255m of debt is racked up
FORMULA ONE will have two Grand Prix events in Spain next year following the announcement of the 2026 calendar. The last time the country did this was between 2008 and 2012. 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 The first was in Barcelona which remains a host for next year, while the second host - rather than Madrid - was Valencia for the European Grand Prix was the Valencia Street Circuit. Located near the port of Valencia, the F1 track record at the 3.4-mile circuit was set by Timo Glock in 2009 with a time of 1:38.683, though Fernando Alonso was the last race winner at the circuit. However, the track was far from popular with drivers for its mundane layout and eventually a lack of interest and funding saw F1 move away. The deal to bring it to F1 had allegedly been part of an election promise between former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and Valmor Sport group, led by former motorcycle racer Jorge "Aspar" Martínez and Villarreal CF's president Fernando Roig. But when Valmor went bankrupt through taking care of all the costs involved in running the races, the tracks seven-year deal was cut down to five and dug a financial hole worth £255million in debt. An estimated £87m is said to have been paid to Ecclestone, while there were also considerable costs for the construction of the circuit, television broadcasting and various invoices related to the organisation. All told, the Generalitat Valenciana had to fork out a bill of more than £85m to cover the losses. And the circuit itself has been left in a state of disrepair after being closed in 2013. Some of it was converted back to walkways for the public. But the majority of the track looks like something out of an urban jungle. One of F1's most recognisable voices reveals Leclerc and Hamilton moments that will live with him forever Weeds have overtaken the slip roads on the site, rust has taken root on old safety barriers, and access tunnels have been flooded. Buildings on the site look every hour of their age, with a repurposed 19th-century warehouse showing signs of needing a major paint job. The track itself has not fared much better, with heaps of rubbish seen lying across it while weeds and plants grow out from under the kerbs of the circuit. Pit markings and tyre burns can also be seen over what was not cleared away, while there is even still some evidence of race sponsors from never-removed hoardings to painted pavement which has faded over time. Thieves have also had their way with what was left at the site. Anything valuable that might have been left over from the days of F1 has been gutted out. There was hope for the site in 2022 when an investment group was in talks with the City Council to reclaim the space, turning it into housing and flats for residents. 8

Can you spot the fake? The AI ‘bootlegs' that have infuriated Disney
Disney and Universal have filed a lawsuit against a tech firm that creates AI-generated images of characters including Shrek and the Minions. The two media giants have mounted a claim against Midjourney accusing the company of making and distributing 'innumerable' copies of characters from their libraries without permission. In the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, the film studios said: 'By helping itself to plaintiffs' copyrighted works, and then distributing images (and soon videos) that blatantly incorporate and copy Disney's and Universal's famous characters – without investing a penny in their creation – Midjourney is the quintessential copyright free-rider and a bottomless pit of plagiarism.' They added that the alleged copyright infringement was 'calculated and wilful'. Midjourney has been contacted for comment. Midjourney is a popular generative AI software that allows users to create images from text prompts. For example, if a subscriber asks Midjourney to generate an image of Yoda in a particular setting or carrying out a certain action, the software will oblige with a high-quality and downloadable image. The quality of the images is such that they are often impossible to distinguish from the authentic, copyrighted versions. Can you spot the difference? Test your ability to spot the AI fake with our quiz. Midjourney made revenues of $300m last year through what Disney and Universal branded a 'bootlegging business model'. The Hollywood studios accuse the San Francisco-based tech company of ignoring their requests to stop infringing their copyright, or to at least adopt new technological measures to prevent the practice. They allege that Midjourney instead 'doubled down' on its actions by releasing newer versions of its AI image generation software and teasing a new video service. The lawsuit references a range of copyrighted characters including Darth Vader from Star Wars, Elsa from Frozen, Lightning McQueen from Cars, Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear, Sully from Monster's Inc, Marvel's Iron Man and Homer Simpson from The Simpsons. Disney and Universal have asked for a preliminary injunction to prevent future copyright infringement and are seeking unspecified damages from Midjourney. 'Thievery on a high scale' It comes amid a broader battle between AI companies and the creative industries over concerns the new technology is riding roughshod over copyright protections. Sir Elton John has described the actions of tech companies as 'thievery on a high scale'. While major record labels and publishers are already locked in legal battles with AI companies over copyright disputes, the lawsuit marks the first time large Hollywood studios have entered the fray. Horacio Gutierrez, Disney's chief legal and compliance officer, said: 'Our world-class IP is built on decades of financial investment, creativity and innovation – investments only made possible by the incentives embodied in copyright law that give creators the exclusive right to profit from their works. 'We are bullish on the promise of AI technology and optimistic about how it can be used responsibly as a tool to further human creativity. But piracy is piracy, and the fact that it's done by an AI company does not make it any less infringing.' Kim Harris, NBCUniversal's general counsel, said: 'We are bringing this action today to protect the hard work of all the artists whose work entertains and inspires us and the significant investment we make in our content. 'Theft is theft regardless of the technology used, and this action involves blatant infringement of our copyrights.' It is not the first time Midjourney, which was founded in 2021, has been accused of misusing copyrighted material to train its AI model. Alongside rivals including Stability AI, Midjourney is currently facing a lawsuit filed by 10 artists who accused the tech companies of copying and storing their work without permission. In a 2022 interview, Midjourney chief executive Holz said he built the company's database by performing 'a big scrape of the internet.'. Asked whether he sought consent of the artists, he responded: 'There isn't really a way to get a hundred million images and know where they're coming from.'

Beloved TV icon stuns fans by coming out as MAGA supporter after posing with Sarah Sanders
A beloved TV icon who found fame in the 1960s sitcom The Munsters has stunned fans by coming out as a MAGA supporter. Butch Patrick, who played Eddie Munster, shared a smiling photo of himself and Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders to his Instagram overnight after the pair were introduced at a party. The actor, whose real name is Patrick Alan Lilley, says Trump 's former White House Press Secretary was 'nice' and 'surprisingly she said I looked familiar'. 'I think I'll send her a Munster goodie,' he added, before revealing: 'I like living in Arkansas. Friendly folks.' But woke keyboard critics did not take well to the photograph and quickly launched their attacks on the 71-year-old star. 'Yuck,' one fan simply wrote, as another baselessly blasted: 'Eeeewwwww you brush elbows with Nazis? That's gross Butch.' Some of Patrick's fans, however, said it was a 'great picture' and applauded him for the 'super cool' opportunity to meet his state's Republican leader. Patrick, who is rarely seen in public, is heading out on a summer tour that will see him make live appearances at drive-ins as they screen his film Munster, Go Home!. Patrick began his acting career in 1962 in the TV sitcom the McCoys before he was cast in The Munsters in 1964. Patrick was 11 years old when he began playing Eddie Munster, a young werewolf who was the son of Frankenstein monster Herman, played by Fred Gwynne, and his vampire wife, Lily, portrayed by Yvonne De Carlo. The show ran for 70 episodes from 1964 to 1966 and sent up the picture-perfect all-American family by replacing them with good-natured monsters. Eddie's pet was no family dog, he was a fire-breathing dragon. The beloved comedy fantasy show was cancelled after its second season's ratings plummeted, although it later became a cult hit and remains embedded in the public consciousness thanks to frequent re-runs. But Patrick told Fox News in a 2019 interview that the reason the show's popularity dropped was due to its rival Batman. 'I think Batman was to blame,' Patrick said. 'Batman just came along and took our ratings away.' His next hit would be the ABC children's show Lidsville which ran from 1971 to 1973. Patrick starred alongside veteran actors Billie Hayes and Charles Nelson Reilly as Mark - a boy lost in a strange land where humanoid hats walked, talked and sang. Patrick reprised the role of Eddie - who is a werewolf child - in the 1966 film Munster, Go Home and again in a 1999 episode of The Simpsons. He also appeared in a string of other shows throughout the 1960s including My Favorite Martian, I Dream Of Jeannie, My Three Sons and The Monkees. As an adult however his career was less successful, and he struggled with alcohol and drug problems before entering rehab in late 2010. In 2021, the actor testified in court in Wisconsin after a woman charged with murdering her husband claimed five other people – including Patrick – were actually behind the shooting death. The case took 15 years to come to court and Patrick maintained his innocence saying he had met the couple at the Monster Hall Raceway in 2006 but didn't know he had been accused of murder until six years after the incident. 'I was in the process of booking an event when someone says, "Have you seen the National Enquirer today?" I said, "No," and when I looked it up I noticed I was on the cover with the headline that says "Munster Murder Bombshell at Monster Hall" and that's how I found out about my... supposedly my involvement in it,' Patrick said during his testimony. Crime lab witnesses did not find any evidence of Patrick or the four other suspects inside the couples' home, nor any DNA evidence linking him to the crime. Eventually the wife, Cindy Schulz-Juedes was found guilty. She was in the process of appealing the verdict when she was killed by her cellmate in Taycheedah Correctional Institution in July 2023. Prior to this bombshell case, Patrick revealed in 2011 that he had been battling prostate cancer. This was only a year after he entered a rehab to combat his years of drug and alcohol abuse that plagued him throughout his adult years. Fortunately, his disease was caught early by a doctor in the facility he stayed in and he was able to remove the small mass shortly after. The star attributed his push to get sober as the reason he's still alive today. Patrick is one of the few surviving cast members of The Munsters, along with Pat Priest, who played his onscreen sister Marilyn and who is now retired from acting. Gwynne, who played his screen father Herman, died in 1993, while Al Lewis passed away in 2006 and Yvonne de Carlo in 2007.
