While you were sleeping the 2018 Met Gala took place and let me tell you, the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic imagination theme did not disappoint.

Of course we were all waiting for Kim Kardashian to make her appearance and in her gold, sequinned, Versace dress she looked like an Oscar statue come to life. Although we hear she was actually going for more of a Jesus cup type vibe (more on that here).

Seriously how did she even get that dress on? It's the fashion equivalent of cling film. Safe to say that Kim totally nailed the theme, but she might have just overshadowed herself with her afterparty dress.

Pictured leaving New York's Mercer hotel, Kimmy rocked a sexy bondage inspired dress that Pope Rihanna (please say she turned up) would seriously have blessed.

Although if the real Pope is reading this, please put down your iPad and look away now.

Damn girl, maybe we should start shopping in Soho.

Everyone's clicking on...

Teaming her mini dress with a Kardashian staple - clear heels - Kim looked sensational. Seriously I've never seen anyone look that good wearing an anklet, myself included. Also I'm pretty sure she would have had to pull some David Blaine type magic to get out her original dress and into all those straps.

With her hair slicked back in an Ariana Grande style high pony, smoky eyes (is she wearing contacts?) and a '90s inspired French manicure Kim looked ready to hit 'da club'.
