Kim Kardashian wardrobe emergency alert!

The E! star was getting ready to tape an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this afternoon when her dress apparently became unwearable, leaving her without an outfit for her sit-down, which is scheduled to air tomorrow.

"OMG my dress for Ellen just broke!!! I have to leave in 5mins...I need help! Should I wear this???" Kim frantically wrote on Instagram after pulling on an alternative ensemble—a long, skin-tight taupe skirt that showed off every curve and a white wrap-style sweater with a plunging neckline.

Then, after a bit of consideration, she kept the cleavage-baring sweater but changed into an equally tight beige pencil skirt with ruching detail all around.

(All of which looked perfectly fine, so long as she adjusts her shirt (she was flashing a bit of bra on Instagram) before the cameras start rolling.

Kim's now-signature figure-hugging neutrals win the day again!

"Ok found my look! Thank God! I ran out of time....off to the taping #phew #thedrama #anxiety," she wrote.

Meanwhile, we also can't wait for what will surely be some probing questions from Ellen about what happened to her first dress!

This will be Kim's first appearance on Ellen since she and Kanye West welcomed baby North, so they have quite a lot to catch up on. DeGeneres and longtime love Portia di Rossi previously paid tribute to the proud parents by co-opting their "Bound 2" video look for their own holiday card.
