Kim Kardashian West flew solo on the Met Gala red carpet this year, but husband Kanye West wasn’t far from her mind.

The reality star made sure to take a break from the star-studded evening to respond to West on Twitter after he shared a photo of her in the night’s sultry outfit: a custom chainmail Versace dress in gold featuring crosses embroidered on the bodice and hip. Kardashian West completed with look with a smokey eye (with extreme lashes!) and her hair in a sleek half up-do.

The 40-year-old rapper made sure to let everyone know exactly what he thought of the ensemble with a series of fire emojis.

Kardashian West retweeted the post with a reply excusing him for his absence: “Love you babe wish you were here with meeeeee but you’re only finishing up 5 albums.” The reality star added a heart, flame and crying laughing emoji.
