Kim Kardashian finally wears Princess Diana cross she bought for $200K

Kim Kardashian was one of the many stars to shine at the 2024 LACMA Art + Film Gala on Saturday in Los Angeles. 

On this night the always fashionable reality star, 44, came decked out in a plunging white gown that she accessorized with an antique amethyst piece once worn by the late royal Princess Diana at a 1987 charity event.

Her striking white number showcased her ample cleavage, with the large jewelry piece providing some contrast. 

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum also donned a pearl choker that resembles another jewelry piece of Diana’s, according to WWD.

The multi-media superstar would add an ivory coat to the ensemble, which she wore off-the-shoulder.

Kim Kardashian, 44, had every reason to feel like princess when she stepped out to the 2024 LACMA Art + Film Gala on Saturday wearing the Attallah Cross pendant, an antique amethyst piece once famously worn by the late Princess Diana at a charity event in 1987

Rounding out her overall look for the event, Kardashian had her dark tresses in a sleek bob with a part off to the left, while her makeup consisted of winged eyeliner, brown eyeshadow and a nude lip.

The mother of four purchased the Attallah Cross at a Sotheby’s auction just last year for $197,453, which is double of the pre-auction estimate.

Named for its previous owner, Naim Attallah, the Palestinian-British businessman lent the amethyst and diamond piece to Diana throughout the 1980s.

Diana, Princess Of Wales, is pictured wearing the pendant on a string of pearls when she attended the 1987 Birthright charity gala, where she donned a purple velvet Catherine Walker gown.

The Attallah Cross was originally made by Garrand in the 1920s, and features square-cut amethysts surrounded by 5.25 carats of circular-cut diamonds.

As for Kardashian’s chunky pearl choker that resembled another piece of Diana’s, the eleven-strand necklace was also adorned with rubies and diamonds.

Featuring 900 pearls, the late Princess Of Wales wore it at several events, including film and theater premieres over the years.

Princess Diana (born Diana Frances Spencer), whose activism and glamour helped make her an international icon with seemingly enduring popularity, was just 36 when she was died in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris, France while her driver was fleeing the paparazzi on August 31, 1997.

Notables from the art, film, fashion, and entertainment industries gathered for the LACMA for 13th annual Art+Film Gala, which was sponsored by Gucci.

It supports the museum’s curatorial programming, exhibitions, acquisitions and more programs that explore the intersection of art and film.

This year’s event honored Elvis writer and director Baz Luhrmann and sculptor Simone Leigh, while LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio served as co-chair of the event for the 13th consecutive year. 

Proceeds from the annual Art+Film Gala go toward underwriting LACMA’s initiative to make film more central to the museum’s curatorial programming, while also funding LACMA’s broader mission. This includes exhibitions, acquisitions, and educational programming, in addition to screenings that explore the intersection of art and film.
