Kim Kardashian first appeared in public wearing a piece of jewelry once worn by Lady Diana. The reality TV star and businesswoman attended the Lacma Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles on November 2 in a white Gucci dress with a large neckline, almost similar to one of Marilyn Monroe's iconic outfits. Her outfit was accompanied by a long white coat and a cross-shaped pendant, called the Attalah crucifix, connected to a white pearl necklace by Bulgari.

This crucifix, made of amethysts, gold, diamonds and silver, was loaned in 1987 to the late Princess of Wales by British businessman Naim Attallah for a charity gala in London. The mother of Princes William and Harry then wore it with a black and mauve dress by designer Catherine Walker.

Last week, the 44-year-old star briefly appeared wearing the necklace on social media via a photo of Maison Margiela director Alexis Roche during fittings. In the photo, taken by the magazine Hello !the ex-wife of rapper Kanye West wears the necklace with a long dark purple dress, created by John Galliano for Maison Margiela. However, it seems that she chose a style with a much lower neckline to reveal her precious acquisition.
This purchase was Kim Kardashian's first in connection with the British royal family. However, this was not the first luxury relic acquired by the star of the reality TV saga Les Kardashian because of his historical connection with one of his idols. The founder of Skims shapewear already has a large collection of belongings that belonged to other big stars, such as an Elizabeth Taylor bracelet and a watch from former first lady Jackie Kennedy. The daughter of OJ Simpson's late lawyer, Robert Kardashian, also likes to borrow not without creating a monumental buzz, as when she wore to the Met Gala in 2022 the famous dress all in sequins and transparency worn by Marilyn Monroe for the birthday by John F. Kennedy in 1962.
