How Kim Kardashian Channeled Princess Diana In A Low-Cut White Gown And Cross Necklace

by

As a gamer with a soft spot for pop culture history and fashion trivia, I must admit that Kim Kardashian‘s latest sartorial choice has me utterly spellbound. The Attallah Cross necklace, once worn by the legendary Princess Diana, now graces the neck of the one and only Kim K.

Kim Kardashian frequently pays tribute to iconic celebrities in her style and choices, like wearing Marilyn Monroe’s dress at the Met Gala or featuring on the Hulu docuseries “In Vogue: The 90s” (set to air in 2024) in honor of Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Recently, she gave a nod to Princess Diana by wearing a low-cut white gown and a large cross necklace at a charity event in Los Angeles over the weekend.

As a gaming enthusiast, let me share an intriguing tidbit I stumbled upon – not just any ordinary cross pendant, mind you! Remember the iconic Attallah Cross Princess Di sported in the 80s? That’s right, the same one! The leading lady from ‘American Horror Story: Delicate’, none other than Kim Kardashian, reportedly splurged a cool $200,000 to own this piece at Sotheby’s auction back in ’23. Interestingly, she had never before donned this necklace in public until now.

At the 2024 LACMA Art + Film Gala on November 2, Kim Kardashian accessorized a long, white, low-cut dress with an ivory jacket draped over her shoulderless look, using an amethyst cross pendant suspended on a pearl necklace. This jewelry arrangement echoed the style Princess Diana wore for the Birthright charity gala in 1987, as shown below: (Note: The original text has been simplified to make it more natural and easy to read.)

In a stunning match, William and Harry’s mother elegantly embodied a masterpiece, as she gracefully wore her statement-making royal purple velvet Catherine Walker dress.

In the 1920s, the renowned jeweler Garrard created the Attallah Cross. This ornamental piece features a number of large, square-cut amethysts enclosed by approximately 5.25 carats of round-cut diamonds. Although Diana did not own this necklace, she borrowed it from Naim Attallah on multiple occasions. Interestingly, it seemed that no one else had ever been spotted wearing the piece until now.

As a devoted admirer, I’m captivated by the shared moment when the late Princess Diana and Kim Kardashian graced a charity event wearing the iconic Attallah Cross. Each woman embodied the style of their respective epochs flawlessly. Although both ensembles featured pearls, Princess Diana’s necklace was an extended tribute to ’80s fashion icons like Madonna, mirroring the era’s lasting influence on style trends.

Kim Kardashian has added another significant piece to her collection of celebrity memorabilia. Most notably, she obtained Marilyn Monroe’s dress from Ripley’s Believe It or Not for the 2022 Met Gala, but her acquisitions don’t stop there – she’s also acquired Elizabeth Taylor’s jade and diamond bracelets and Jackie Kennedy’s Cartier watch.

Apart from that, she additionally bestowed upon her brother Rob Kardashian a set of rings that once adorned Elvis Presley, while her eldest offspring, North West, possesses the authentic hat and coat donned by Michael Jackson in the “Smooth Criminal” music video.

It’s clear that the celebrity from The Kardashians family is quite fond of unique fashion accessories. Moreover, it appears she plans her public appearances carefully to display these rare items. One can’t help but ponder if and when we’ll spot the Attallah Cross again or what the next high-profile item will be that she decides to flaunt.

For now, we’re also keeping our fingers crossed for the upcoming season of The Kardashians. Although the show (which can be streamed with a Hulu subscription) has been confirmed for at least another 20 episodes, no premiere date has been announced yet. It seems like Season 6 may grace our screens in the coming year.
