Oops! Kim Kardashian and Rita Ora's red carpet flash at the Met Ball

At a gala known for its A-list turnout and breathtaking couture, Kim Kardashian and Rita Ora have both suffered embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions.

Kim, 33, demurely covered up her generous bust in a midnight blue Lanvin gown… but her thigh-high split left her crotch and navy knickers exposed for waiting photographers! What would Kanye say?

With her gloved, floral Givenchy frock universally panned last year, the reality star was keen to make a good impression in 2014. Maybe you should have been on crotch patrol, Kimmy!

Rita Ora's gold Donna Karan Atelier ensemble also gave us a free peep show on the red carpet. Another thigh-high slit, another set of colour-coordinated underwear!

Let's just hope it's the singer's crazy sandals and not her gold undies that will have everyone talking…

At least Kim's frock is better than last year's shocker! Check out the video below:
