The Met Gala is about celebrating the height of fashion, so we should have known that Kanye West would show up in ripped jeans.

The rapper and fashion designer hit the red carpet at this year’s gala -- which boasts the tech-inspired theme, “Manus x Machina” -- in torn blue jeans, a bedazzled Balmain jean jacket and pale blue contacts that made him look something like an extra from the Twilight series.

West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, went all-out with the theme in a long-sleeved silver-paneled dress, also by Balmain, which featured a super-high thigh slit.

Kardashian shared a pic of her “Midnight Met Prep” on Sunday, snapping a mirror selfie with two stylists and her husband helping put together her look.

The reality star also shared a look at the couple’s prep for last year’s Met Gala, where they both wore Roberto Cavalli.

Kim's younger sister, Kylie Jenner, made her Met Gala debut on Monday, also rocking a Balmain dress and new cropped 'do. Check out all the hottest looks from this year's event in our Met Gala gallery!
