Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner shared a kiss in the stands at the World Cup final on Sunday, as Spain and Argentina battled it out at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Hollywood couple were spotted holding hands throughout the tense match, with the 28-year-old make-up mogul wearing a plunging black long sleeve top and black jeans, while the 30-year-old Dune star opted for a blue and white jersey top with black trousers.
They were far from the only famous faces in the crowd. Tom Cruise, David and Victoria Beckham, and Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field were among the A-listers watching the game. The Beckhams looked stylish – David in a navy suit, Victoria in a white vest top and white jeans – and were seen smiling and laughing with their good pal Cruise.
“Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner kissed at the World Cup final as fans slammed the closing ceremony as 'worst ever'.”
Other celebrities included Ellie Goulding, who was with her boyfriend Beau Minniear – he was seen with a disposable camera – and Anya Taylor-Joy, who wore a satin one-shoulder beige midi dress, chatting with her husband Malcolm McRae.
But the star-studded atmosphere could not rescue the tournament’s closing ceremony. Fans flooded social media to brutally criticise the event, which featured performances by Robbie Williams, Post Malone and IShowSpeed, as well as appearances by Nicole Scherzinger and Tom Cruise. Justin Bieber, Shakira and Madonna had earlier performed during the half-time show.
One fan wrote: “The worst closing ceremony ever. Even the fans look bored.” Another said: “I’m crying what a terrible ugly closing ceremony.” A third added: “That closing ceremony was so underwhelming.” A fourth noted: “A completely forgettable closing ceremony is finally and thankfully over.” And a fifth comically claimed: “The cr…” – before being cut off.
The backlash leaves a sour note on what should have been a celebration of football’s biggest night. Whether the drama on the pitch – with Spain and Argentina still locked in a tense final – can erase the memory of the ceremony remains to be seen.
