Kim Kardashian Criticized for Wearing Diana's Necklace

Kim Kardashian faced significant backlash for wearing the Attallah Cross, a necklace once owned by Princess Diana, at the 2024 LACMA Art + Film Gala. Critics labeled her choice as 'vulgar' and 'tone deaf', arguing that she misrepresented the piece's historical significance with her revealing white gown and additional extravagant jewelry. Kardashian purchased the necklace for nearly $200,000 at a Sotheby’s auction in 2023 and became the second woman ever to wear it, following its association with Diana in the 1980s. While some praised her bold fashion statement, many commenters expressed disdain, suggesting a lack of respect for the piece's legacy. The cross, originally created in the 1920s, features amethysts and diamonds, and was a notable accessory for Diana at various high-profile events. This incident echoes prior controversies surrounding Kardashian's fashion choices, similar to her wearing Marilyn Monroe's dress at the 2023 Met Gala.
