Kim Kardashian has long been considered fashion royalty here in the U.S., and now the reality TV star is cementing her status as queen with an iconic accessory.

Attending the 2024 LACMA Art+Film Gala at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday, November 2, Kardashian wore a cross pendant previously worn by Princess Diana herself.

To complement her diamond-encrusted amethyst Attalla cross pendant, Kardashian chose a revealing plunging white Gucci gown paired with a cream cape. The simple yet elegant Old Hollywood gown highlighted the already prominent pendant and gave Kardashian a gothic look worthy of the Met Gala red carpet.

It was at Sotheby's Royal and Noble Auction in 2023 that Kardashian purchased the late Princess of Wales' pendant. Priced at a whopping $197,453, the necklace, with square-cut amethysts and circular-cut diamonds, weighed 5.25 carats, according to People.

Royal fans will no doubt recall that Princess Diana wore this crucifix pendant, then dangling from a long pearl chain, when she attended Birthright's London Charity Gala in 1987.

Kardashian apparently paid homage to the pendant by matching it with a short pearl chain and a pearl and silver choker.

In 1987, the then Princess of Wales wore a purple velvet gown by Catherine Walker to match this pendant. Princess Diana is known to have had a longstanding friendship with the jeweler Asprey & Garrard, who created the pendant, and in 1981 she chose a memorable sapphire and diamond engagement ring from the same jeweler.

After Princess Diana's untimely death in 1997, the cross was given to the Attallah family.

This is not the first time Kardashian has stepped into the spotlight wearing a piece of fashion history.

In 2022, Kardashian infamously decided to wear the iconic 1962 dress that Marilyn Monroe wore when singing “Happy Birthday” to President Kennedy.

The reality star made headlines when she revealed to Vogue magazine that she had to lose 16 pounds in a few weeks to wear the famous dress.

“I tried it on and it didn't fit, so I looked at the dress and said, 'Give me three weeks. ' But it was a challenge, it was like a rollercoaster ride. I made up my mind. I decided I was going to wear this dress."

”I was determined.

Kardashian continued that in order to lose weight, she took some drastic and definitely unhealthy measures.

“I wore a sauna suit twice a day, ran on the treadmill, cut out sugar and carbs completely, and ate only vegetables and protein clean. I didn't starve, but I was very strict.”
