Kanye West and wife Kim Kardashian showed up to the 2016 Met Gala in matching metallic ensembles, but 'Ye being 'Ye took it a step further -- to his eyes, to be precise. The Chicago rapper rocked ice blue contact lenses to complete his look, and of course the internet promptly went crazy.

When asked what was up with the contacts, Kanye simply told E! News, "Vibes."

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit Gala, was celebrating the opening of "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" -- so in all fairness, maybe his blue eyes were paying homage to the theme?

Either way, folks on Twitter wasn't feeling it, and let the rapper know it, going as far as to suggest he pick up a copy of Toni Morrison's classic novel, The Bluest Eye.

Read some of the fans reactions below.
