The star of Sunday's Met Gala — a fundraiser for New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art's costume wing — was probably Rihanna, with her elaborate yellow dress designed by China's Guo Pei. After providing some unabashedly snarky color commentary on the Met Gala fashion choices of various celebrities, Jimmy Kimmel got down to business on Tuesday night's show: poking fun at Rihanna's gown. (Maybe he's still sore about being woken up at midnight?)

Kimmel said that although designers spend so much time making these dresses — Rihanna's took two years — they never capitalize on that by selling them to the public. Until now. "One thing about the Chinese, they know how to get products made and onto the shelf here in America," he said, setting up a faux late-nite infomercial for the "Rihanket," and also a much smaller product inspired by Kim Kardashian's dress. You won't believe all the amazing things you can do with your Rihanket! Watch below. —Peter Weber
