Kim Kardashian has long moved from that stage in her career when she was just a wannabe that everyone could make fun of. Since she started dating rapper Kanye West, her current husband, she’s been slowly reinventing herself, which brought her career to new heights.

The culmination of all her efforts was her inclusion on this year’s Most Influential People list from time magazine; Kanye is also on the list, so they both showed up at last night’s Time 100 gala in NYC.

Comedienne Amy Schumer was also there, ready to prank them on the red carpet.

Amy falls at Kimye’s feet, Kanye is not impressed

For this special event, Kim wore a gorgeous and very occasion-appropriate Sophie Theallet gown, which, though still showing off her ample cleavage, managed to be classy. If you’ve been keeping an eye on the evolution of Kim’s style, you know that she favors much more revealing items than this one, including for “serious” events like charity or industry galas.

So by comparison, Kim was dressed in a very demure fashion. Kanye wore a velvet suit, a black long shirt and a ripped white tee: the man sure loves his layers, you’ve got to hand it to him.

After they posed for pictures on the red carpet, as they were walking away, Amy literally threw herself on the carpet almost at their feet, to amused reactions from fellow celebrities and the media in attendance.

The Daily Mail has photos, and you can see a video of it at the end of this post.

Kanye was not amused! For a brief second, Kim looked as if she was about to break into a smile, but she got her poker face back on very soon. Neither she nor her husband made a move to help the woman at her feet, even when they didn’t know yet that it was a prank.

Meanwhile, Laverne Cox, the transgender star of “Orange Is the New Black,” was giggling.

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to red carpet incidents

Kanye can’t be bothered with randoms falling at his feet on red carpets, so his lack of reaction is easy to understand. Kim too must have become hardened by a long series of red carpet incidents, which taught her to keep her game face on at all costs.

She was once pelted with flour at an event, and she was attacked by known prankster Vitalii Sediuk in Paris. Kim knows that the best way to react in such unexpected situation is to appear as if she’s not reacting at all, so maybe that’s why she didn’t offer to help Amy. She was waiting to see if it was a hoax or someone had really fallen at her feet.
