On Monday evening everyone who is anyone stepped out in New York City for the biggest night in the fashion calendar: the Met Gala. The theme this year was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology – resulting in a dazzling selection of metallic outfits on the red carpet.One couple who got it so, so right was Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, who were officially named the Best-Dressed Couple of the evening by Vogue magazine, which is a big deal considering US editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has been the event chairperson since 1995.

Taking to Twitter after receiving the accolade, Kanye excitedly wrote: "I'm really excited to get our first best dressed at the met. This Gala is like the Grammys of style!"Thank you to Olivier [Rousteing, Balmain creative director] for making four dresses for Kim to choose from which we chopped 2 in half. And thank you for turning my personal jean jacket into a couture piece."
