Normally if you break something you don't get an award, unless you're Kim Kardashian.

The reality star famously claimed to have broken the internet (twice) with racy nude photos of herself and now she is the proud recipient of a Webby Award celebrating her explosive cyber powers.

The 35-year-old arrived to the ceremony, held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York, in a stunning ensemble where she was honoured with the brand new Break The Internet Award, and vowed to post 'nude selfies until I die'.

Kim put her incredible figure on display in a thigh-split black Vivienne Westwood dress that perfectly showcased her killer curves.

Completing the dark haired beauty's attire were open toe high heels as she wore her raven locks in bombshell waves over her shoulders. 

The mother of two - who has over 70 million Instagram followers, 45 million Twitter followers, and a hugely successful mobile game, Kim Kardashian's Hollywood - is the first-ever recipient of the accolade at the annual Webby Awards in recognition of her 'bold and creative' use of online platforms.

When Kim was presented with the award by author, journalist and internet commentator, Kara Swisher, she made a five-word acceptance speech as she stated: 'Nude selfies until I die.'

'As the leading celebrity in terms of her online presence and understanding of how to connect with a global audience via social media, apps and online video, Kim has set the standard incredibly high. 

'She has shaped our understanding of how someone or something can draw the popular attention of Internet users everywhere. To the degree that she's created a new type of celebrity - publicising her life to the benefit of herself and her family - is due to the Internet.

'Kim's preternatural sense of being in the public eye, sees her appearing at seemingly every major cultural moment, most notably, her support of Caitlyn Jenner's sex change. 

'Likewise, with her suite of apps including the latest, Kimoji, which skyrocketed to the top of the most-downloaded list, Kim has expanded her celebrity into new territories and, safe to say, to a high degree of success as well.
