Kim Kardashian urned heads in a skintight silver gown at the Met Gala in New York City on Monday, which had a daring slit up one side

It was another year at the Met Gala and another head-turning gown for Kim Kardashian in New York City on Monday.

However this time around, the 35-year-old roped husband Kanye West, 38, into wearing a coordinating outfit.

The couple arrived at the event in matching silver sequined Balmain designs, with Kim showing off her impressive post-baby body less than five months after welcoming son Saint.

The reality star sported a skintight long-sleeved dress which hugged her famous curves in all the right places and showed off one of her shapely legs thanks to a daring slit up one side.

Kim also sported silver T-strap sandals, a knuckleduster ring and earcrawlers.

She finished off her glamorous look by slicking her dark locks back and adding nude lipstick, pale eyebrows and smoky eye make-up.

Kim said to E! that her two-year-old daughter North West is desperate to have the gown for herself, telling her before she left, 'Mommy I need that dress.'

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star replied to the toddler: 'As soon as I get home it's all yours. You can wear it to prom.'

Meanwhile Kanye certainly went for a memorable look with pale blue contact lenses, and sported a delicately sequined jacket over a white T-shirt and ripped jeans.

'Kanye's look is more downplayed with all the denim,' Kim said of their coordinated outfits. 'He's kind of like a blingy, sexy robot.'

'I'm really excited to have a date night with my husband at the Met Gala,' Kim added.
