Kim Kardashian swerves awkward run-in as Blac Chyna seizes on Oscars invitation

Kim Kardashian will be crying into her many fridges this morning after her old enemy Blac Chyna managed to snag an invitation to the Oscars.

Kim and husband Kanye West were relegated to guests at the glittering Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, which is traditionally where winners of the golden trophies mingle after the main event.

But Chyna, who shares daughter Dream with Kim's brother Rob Kardashian, managed to get herself into the actual Academy Awards as a plus-one to music producer Christopher Trujillo.

Christopher - better known as Tito JustMusic - has worked with Ariana Grande, Fifth Harmony and Mariah Carey, as well as Cheryl Cole on her 2012 album A Million Lights.

And he picked model and businesswoman Chyna to escort him on the red carpet outside the iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where she posed for pictures in her black velvet floor-length gown.

Chyna - real name Angela White - opted for the eye-popping number, which featured a daring high-thigh split, plunging neckline and a three-metre train which cascaded behind her as she slowly made her way past the photographers.

She and Kim have had a very public rollercoaster relationship over the last few years, which preceded Chyna and Rob's short-lived romance.

Chyna was even a guest at Kim and Kanye's wedding in Italy in May 2014, joining her then-boyfriend Tyga - who later dated Kim's baby sister Kylie Jenner- for the lavish nuptials.

But the pair fell out when Chyna and Rob announced their relationship, which turned into a full-blown family feud when the couple got engaged. The Kardashian klan didn't bother publicly acknowledging their news until a month later.
