While you slept, the stars were out at the TIME 100 Gala toasting those who made the magazine's annual "Most Influential People" list. Among those being honored at the event was Kanye West, who showed up rocking a dope fit by Haider Ackermann. Of course he had his wife Kim Kardashian at his side, but she almost went down after an incident with a clumsy paparazzi on the red carpet.

During the Gala, Kanye took to the stage to perform and had a group of shirtless models flank the stage, styled like African warriors with khaki pants and chalky mud all over their bodies. One of the models shared a photo on Instagram saying that their job was to stand their and be stoic, but that it was hard not to dance during the performance.
