Kim Kardashian West put her money where her mouth is when she chose to wear her own SKIMS shapewear line to the FGI Night of Stars Gala last night, where she was accompanied by her husband Kanye West.

Taking to Instagram prior to the star-studded event, she revealed that it was a “necessity” that she wore it beneath her figure-hugging metallic dress.

Kim and Kanye both stepped out for the gala in support of their friend, designer Rick Owens and his wife Michelle Lamy. Kim's one-shouldered purple dress in dual shades was fittingly designed by Owens for the night and she paired the look with transparent heels.

Kanye West - who never likes to hit the red carpet in anything too formal - chose a more comfortable-looking head to toe denim ensemble. In a rare moment of levity for the rapper, at one point he jumped in front of Kim and Owens to upstage them for a photograph with a grin.

West announced that he would be dropping his new album Jesus Is King at midnight that evening after much delay, though the album now appears to be delayed.

He addressed the delay on Instagram, revealing that they were still doing minor tweaks to three songs and thanked fans for being “loyal & patient”. He added, “We not going to sleep until this album is out!”

Yesterday, he also revealed that he had tried to ban premarital sex amongst his team working on the record, saying in a Zane Lowe interview, "There were times where I was asking people not to have premarital sex while they were working on the album... I thought if we could all focus and fast - families who pray together stay together."

Kim revealed on Instagram stories that she had had a busy day too, visiting an Ulta Beauty store to promote her KKW Beauty range with her longtime make-up artist Mario Lopez. She also revealed that she was seated at a table for the event with Lamy and Owens and showed a photo of herself with Kanye walking into Cipriani Wall Street where the gala was held.

They weren’t the only notable stars in attendance, as model Iman was honoured with an award as well. The iconic supermodel attended with transgender activist and actress Laverne Cox, who arrived in full vintage Hollywood glamour with elbow length gloves, a diamond necklace and metallic dress.
