No one is more comfortable on a red carpet than Diddy. 

How do we know this? Well, Sean "Diddy" Combs decided to take a break while walking the 2017 Met Gala red carpet, letting girlfriend Cassie pose for photos solo while he lounged on the infamous steps at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Costume Institute on Monday night. 

Hey, sometimes you just need to take a break, right? And the rapper-entrepreneur's outfit was perfect for a bit of lounging, with a longer jacket...complete crystals.

Diddy was quick to share a post of his mid-carpet break on Instagram, simply captioning the pic with the #METGALA hashtag. 

This year's fundraising benefit is honoring Rei Kawakubo, the founder of Comme des Garçons.
