Kim Kardashian Wears Princess Diana’s Cross Pendant with Super Risqué Gown at LACMA Art + Film Gala
Kardashian bought the late Princess of Wales' pendant back in 2023
Kim Kardashian is going full glam on the red carpet, with a nod to royalty!
The entrepreneur, 44, stepped out to the LACMA Art+Film Gala on Nov. 2 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in a plunging white Gucci gown and cream cape, and accessorized with piece of strking historical jewelry. Kardashian's diamond-encrusted amethyst Attallah cross pendant was previously worn by Princess Diana.
The reality star bought the pendant — which has square-cut amethysts and is accented by circular-cut diamonds — in 2023 at Sotheby's annual Royal & Noble auction, paying $197,453 for the striking piece, the diamonds of which weigh in at 5.25 carats.
The late Princess of Wales most famously wore the pendant on a long pearl chain in 1987 at Birthright's London charity gala. At the time, she teamed the piece with a Catherine Walker Victorian velvet gown in royal purple. However, she wore the piece on multiple occasions.
Alongside the royal necklace, which Kardashian wore on a shorter pearl chain attached to a pearl and silver choker with another pearl necklace layered below, the SKIMS founder styled he hair in a mid-length bob with flicked out ends and one curl brushing her forehead. Her makeup for the night included a classic smokey eye and nude lip.
The gala honored artist Simone Leigh and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and the star-studded guest list included the likes of Kaia Gerber, Blake Lively, Colman Domingo, Dev Patel, Anna Wintour, Troye Sivan, Charli xcx, Cara Delevingne, Ricky Martin, Chloë Sevigny, Javier Bardem and Andrew Garfield.
The reality star has been making unforgettable fashion moves throughout the fall.
On her birthday in October, she celebrated turning 44 with a rather literal take on a “birthday suit.” She shared footage of herself in the early hours of her birthday on Oct. 21 in a nude dress.
The Diesel D-Rooney slip dress featured a curve-hugging silhouette in a nude metallic fabric. The outfit had a nude leotard-esque fitted bodice over a semi-sheer skirt.

The daring dress retails for $2,081 in Diesel’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection.
Kardashian also attended the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Gala on Oct. 19 in a striking look, which she shared on her Instagram. She wore a vintage Thierry Mugler 1998 corset bodysuit with structured areas on her hips with a loose white robe on top.
She went very Hollywood with her glam and her hair, which was styled in big waves. The social media star put some final touches with perspex heels, a Tiffany diamond choker and matching rings.
“Mugler 🤍🪽+ Tiffany’s 💎 for the Academy Museum Gala,” she captioned the post.
Earlier this fall, the SKIMS founder graced another red carpet for the Kering Foundation’s annual Caring for Women Dinner on Sept. 9 in N.Y.C.

She wore a form-fitting white Balenciaga dress with a fabric that gave the illusion of water cascading to match the wet-look style of her hair. The midi gown also featured ruching details around the waist and bodice.
Kardashian paired the look with a pair of pointed black heels. She kept her makeup very bronzed, also wearing a matte nude lipgloss. She also had white French tip nails.
