Met Gala Theme 2016: Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Cause A Stir, Win 'Best-Dressed Couple' [VIDEO]
Celebrity power couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West didn’t have to say much to get lots of attention at the 2016 Met Gala Monday night. All they had to do was show up wearing what they wore.
Kardashian went for a look that is definitely interesting to say the least. While it showed off her post baby weight loss (after she gave birth to her and West’s second child Saint West late last year), it also got her lots of attention on social media as she strutted the red carpet of the huge fundraising event with a silver, sequins, metallic piece.
One fan compared it to a silver Iota.
“I just can’t help it,” they wrote as they added a photo.

Another pointed out how similar her dress looked to her youngest sister, Kylie Jenner’s and her mother, Kris Jenner’s wardrobe choices for the evening.

One even joked that they would be heading to the grocery store to pick up aluminum foil in hopes of mimicking her look.

As for West, he caught eyes as he revealed his own new eye color: an icy blue hue. One fan said that West’s new decision cost him his career.
Kanye West is done. He's finished. When a black man wears coloured contacts it's over. RIP black Kanye West pic.twitter.com/rC0OEHUR6J — Lippy Lickshot (@DonDadaLipz) May 3, 2016
Another laughed at the thought of seeing West trying to put in the contacts.
I just imagined Kanye West putting contacts in his eyes and laughed for 3 minutes https://t.co/zUXbe38HXC

One compared him to a teddy bear, but not the friendly kind, while another called him a “wolf.”
Kanye West looks like a poorly-dressed teddy bear with creepy-ass gray eyes — Roberto (@FunkyFreedom) May 3, 2016
@kanyewest if you wanna pretend you're a wolf, at least do research & know wolves don't have blue eyes. Only the lower percentage do #js

Another threatened the rapper that it better not be permanent.
If Kanye West get some type of surgery to change the colors on his eyes, I am going to fight him — Mr.Jackson2u (@_iSpeakDaTruth) May 3, 2016
Still, Kardashian was definitely enjoying her husband’s look.

And so were a few others as they snagged the Best Dressed for the evening. West spoke out about it via Twitter and possibly explained why they went for those looks.
