Kim Kardashian was one of the many stars to shine at the 2024 LACMA Art + Film Gala on Saturday in Los Angeles.
On this night the always fashionable reality star, 44, came decked out in a plunging white gown that she accessorized with an antique amethyst piece once worn by the late royal Princess Diana at a 1987 charity event.

Rounding out her overall look for the event, Kardashian had her dark tresses in a sleek bob with a part off to the left, while her makeup consisted of winged eyeliner, brown eyeshadow and a nude lip.
The mother of four purchased the Attallah Cross at a Sotheby’s auction just last year for $197,453, which is double of the pre-auction estimate.
Named for its previous owner, Naim Attallah, the Palestinian-British businessman lent the amethyst and diamond piece to Diana throughout the 1980s.
Diana, Princess Of Wales, is pictured wearing the pendant on a string of pearls when she attended the 1987 Birthright charity gala, where she donned a purple velvet Catherine Walker gown.
The Attallah Cross was originally made by Garrand in the 1920s, and features square-cut amethysts surrounded by 5.25 carats of circular-cut diamonds.
As for Kardashian’s chunky pearl choker that resembled another piece of Diana’s, the eleven-strand necklace was also adorned with rubies and diamonds.
Featuring 900 pearls, the late Princess Of Wales wore it at several events, including film and theater premieres over the years.
Princess Diana (born Diana Frances Spencer), whose activism and glamour helped make her an international icon with seemingly enduring popularity, was just 36 when she was died in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris, France while her driver was fleeing the paparazzi on August 31, 1997.
