Kim Kardashian laughed at Hollywood again royal at the 2024 LACMA Art+Film Gala on Saturday, November 2, wearing jewelry from Princess Dianacollection.

Kardashian, 44, wore a cross for the late Diana Attallah at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, looking stunning in a white Gucci dress and cream cap. Amethyst studded with diamond Attallah cross pendant is made of pearl and silver choker and another pearl necklace layered underneath.

The jewelry was accented by a plunging neckline dress and Kardashian's cropped haircut, which she styled in a 1960s bubblegum with a single curl brushing her forehead. He moved his smoky eyes and bare lips again.

The SKIMS founder was clearly proud of her look, as she shared videos and photos of her collection on Instagram Stories.

The late Princess of Wales, who tragically died in a car crash in August 1997 aged 36, wore a thong in 1987 to Birthright's London charity gala – which aims to protect human rights during pregnancy and childbirth. At that time, he paired the piece – which was bought by a British businessman Naim Attallah – via Catherine Walker and Co. Victorian velvet royal purple gown. The Renaissance style look was one he will never forget.

Kardashian bought the Attallah cross at Sotheby's Royal and Noble auction, which opened in January 2023. The stunning piece is estimated at $98,668 to $148,002, and Kardashian ended up winning the pendant for $200,000.

According to Suthu, the necklace was one of Diana's “favorite” pieces. “Through Attallah's friendship with Princess Diana, he borrowed it several times over the years,” Sotheby's wrote on Instagram at the time of the sale. “It is understood that the cross was once worn only by the Queen and after her death, it was not seen in public until now.”

A royal scholar Valentine Lowe Wondering how the royal family would react to Kardashian's purchase of the piece, she exclusively told Us Weekly last year, “I think they're probably laughing at it. Laugh across the breakfast table and move on. [They] I certainly wouldn't be upset, I am [don’t] think.”
