Kim Kardashian attended a gala in a diamond cross necklace Princess Diana previously wore. She bought it at an auction for nearly $200,000.

But on Saturday, at the LACMA Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles, Kardashian debuted another cultural artifact — a diamond-lined cross pendant, once a favorite of Princess Diana. Kardashian bought the piece for £163,800 (around $212,000) in January 2023 ...

Kim Kardashian paid a pretty penny to snag a piece of Princess Diana’s jewelry, and now she has finally taken the prized accessory for a spin.

Princess Diana famously wore the Atallah Cross pendant to gala in 1987. Almost two years ago, Kim Kardashian purchased Princess Diana's Attallah Cross necklace at auction, and this past weekend, she wore it publicly for the first time.

Kim Kardashian has often honored celebrity fashion icons in her own actions and outfits choices, whether that’s donning Marilyn Monroe’s dress for the Met Gala or appearing on the Hulu docuseries In Vogue: The 90s (a 2024 TV schedule entry) honoring Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

Kim Kardashian paired the iconic necklace with a revealing white gown. The same piece of jewelry was worn by Princess Diana on several occasions, including the Birthright's London charity gala, where she wore it with a Catherine Walker Victorian velvet gown in royal purple color.
