In fashion world, "white tie" is the highest form of dress code. In fact, it's even above black tie (the standard tux-and-gown situation). The 2016 Met Gala had a very specific — if difficult to interpret — dress code of "tech white tie," where guests were encouraged to wear their very finest...just with a futuristic spin. True to form, Kanye West decided to forsake the dress code and do things his own way.
That meant wearing ripped jeans and a T-shirt and what can only be Harry Styles's favorite Saint Laurent boots, artfully accompanied by a bejeweled denim jacket. The clothes were designed by Balmain (as was Kim's insane dress, at left). To top it all off, Kanye popped in a pair of silver contacts, which definitely lent the look a Tron vibe that we're not mad at.
The 2016 Met Gala is basically fashion prom — the biggest night of the year for our industry. Kanye wearing jeans is a true moment, for all the right reasons. Just don't try this at your own formal event...or at least not until you've dropped a masterpiece like The Life of Pablo
