Kim Kardashian has been spotted wearing a stunning amethyst necklace that once belonged to the beloved Princess Diana. The iconic piece has been seen on the reality TV star, who is known for her impeccable sense of style, on multiple occasions, paying homage to the late Princess of Wales.
At the recent LACMA Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles, Kim turned heads in a gorgeous plunging white Gucci gown, accessorized with a dazzling cross necklace adorned with diamonds and amethysts. The pendant, which dates back to the 1920s, was designed by luxury jewelry brand Garrard, and was a favorite of Princess Diana's, who wore it to various events and galas.
Kim's look was a modern take on the classic necklace, as she paired it with a sleek white gown, while Diana opted for a more traditional approach with a long velvet purple and navy dress, complete with a large ruff around her neck. Both ladies looked absolutely stunning, proving that the iconic necklace is truly timeless.
Interestingly, Kim actually purchased the necklace in 2023 at a Sotheby's auction in London. The cross, called the Attallah Cross, boasts a total diamond weight of 5.25 carats and was notably worn by Princess Diana in October 1987. Kim's representative bought the necklace for £163,800, which was more than double its pre-auction estimate.
The Attallah Cross was first purchased by businessman Naim Attallah in the 1980s, who was a close friend of Princess Diana's. He often lent her the necklace for special occasions, making it a significant piece in her jewelry collection. And now, it has found a new home with Kim Kardashian, who is known for her love of iconic fashion items.
This isn't the first time the reality star has made headlines for owning a piece of fashion history. Back in 2022, she received heavy criticism for wearing Marilyn Monroe's famous nude-colored dress to the Met Gala. The star even shed 16 pounds to fit into the dress, which was loaned to her by Ripley's Believe It Or Not. However, she only wore it for a few minutes on the red carpet, before changing into a replica to avoid any damage to the original.
In an interview on The Kardashians, Kim opened up about the effort she put into wearing the iconic dress, saying, "All of this, the weight loss, the hair dyeing, leaving the hotel in a robe, changing on the red carpet, it's all for maybe 10 minutes of my life. That's it." It's clear that for Kim, owning a piece of fashion history is worth the extra effort.
