Kim Kardashian channeled the People's Princess' style in a daring fashion statement, wearing one of Princess Diana's very own prized jewelry pieces for a risquƩ look at a recent event.
The SKIMS founder attended the LACMA Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday (November 2), stunning in a plunging white Gucci gown with a neckline stretching down to her waist, paired with a cream cape. While the dress itself was jaw dropping enough, Kardashian's choice of jewelry is what really set it apart.
In addition to a large pearl necklace and short diamond necklaces, the Kardashians star wore a large vintage amethyst cross pendant by Garrard that once belonged to Princess Diana, per E! News. While the Princess of Wales wore the show-stopping piece with a Catherine Walker Victorian-style gown at a charity even in 1987, Kardashian shortened the length of the chain so the pendant sat over her bare chest.

According to Sotheby's, Kardashian purchased the pendant ā which includes 5.25 carats worth of square-cut amethysts and circular-cut diamondsĀ āĀ at a 2023 auction for more than double the pre-auction estimate at $197,453. Her purchase also caused a bit of a stir online at the time.
"This is a bold piece of jewelry by its size, color and style which cannot fail to make a vibrant statement, whether it be of faith or fashion āĀ or indeed both," Kristian Spofforth, head of jewelry for Sotheby's London, said at the time. "We are delighted that this piece has found a new lease of life within the hands of another globally famous name."
