Kim Kardashian and Kanye West arrive at The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit Gala, celebrating the opening of "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" on May 2, 2016 in New York.

Kanye West was feeling blue at Monday night's Met Gala. That is, the rapper, wore a pair of blue contacts on the red carpet, where he matched Kim Kardashian's silver metallic Balmain gown.

When asked what led him to opt for the light contact lenses, he simply told E!, "Vibes." 

This isn't the rapper's first time wearing colored contacts in public; he went for the eerie look while performing "Wolves" on SNL's anniversary special last February.

Though Yeezy may have been feeling his new blue eyes, the social media sphere wasn't quite on the same page as the Balmain-clad rapper.
