Fans divided after Kim Kardashian wears $200,000 cross necklace famously worn by Princess Diana

Kim Kardashian has sparked controversy by wearing Princess Diana’s iconic Naim Attallah Cross necklace at the 2024 LACMA Art + Film Gala. After purchasing the amethyst and diamond piece for nearly $200,000 at auction in 2023, Kim’s public debut of the necklace has divided fans.

While Kim paired the cross with a bold white gown, Princess Diana originally wore it in 1987 with a more understated, elegant burgundy dress. The necklace, designed by Garrard, blends luxury with religious symbolism, but Kim’s modern styling has led to mixed reactions. Some fans see it as a respectful tribute, while others feel it’s an inappropriate use of such a historic piece.
