‘Disgrace’: Users Slam Kim Kardashian for Wearing Princess Diana’s Cross Necklace & Plunging Neckline Gown at Gala — Pics

Kim Kardashian’s latest red carpet look has set the internet ablaze — not because of the dress she wore, but mainly due to the iconic royal jewelry draped around her neck. Fans are divided, with many questioning if she has crossed a line.

Kim Kardashian’s recent choice to wear one of Princess Diana’s iconic necklaces has sparked a storm of online criticism.

The “Kardashians” star made an appearance at the LACMA Art+Film Gala on Saturday, Nov. 2, donning the late royal’s renowned vintage Garrard cross pendant. Her princess moment, however, didn’t resonate with all. The necklace, a stunning piece Diana once paired with an elegant gown, was reimagined by Kim.

She paired the pendant with a low-cut white gown, transforming it into a bold accessory. Completing her look with a layered pearl choker and short necklaces, Kim gave the heirloom a distinctly modern twist.

To complete her ensemble, Kim added an ivory coat to the outfit, giving her look an effortless touch of elegance. She styled her dark hair in a sleek bob parted to the left. Her makeup featured winged eyeliner, brown eyeshadow, and a nude lip, perfectly rounding out her chic, contemporary style for the event.

Comments continued to roll in. “Diana was the classiest lady in the world. Kim, unfortunately, no words for you. So disrespectful,” read one post.

Others argued that Kim’s take diminished the original significance of the necklace. One user implored, “Can we please 𝘚𝘛𝘖𝘗 giving Kim Kardashian access to iconic pieces of fashion and jewelry worn by icons.”

Reactions poured in, with some fans split over Kim’s daring ensemble and the choice of accessory. “Wearing a cross dressed like that 😵‍💫,” one person remarked. Another chimed in with, “Why the cross? That’s sacrilege!” Even Princess Diana was brought into the conversation, as one dramatic comment stated, “Diana is rolling in her grave.”

“She looks amazing ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥and love the hair,” gushed one admirer, while another praised the cut, saying, “Love the short hair. It’s very flattering in [sic] her.”

Kim Kardashian’s attempt to pay tribute to Princess Diana may not have landed as she’d hoped. Public reaction to her styling of the late princess’s iconic necklace has many fans longing for the understated elegance Diana once brought to the piece.

This event, held by jeweler Garrard in support of the human rights charity Birthright, marked a time when Diana was beginning to make bold choices both in her personal life and her fashion.

Once part of the late Naim Attallah’s collection, the necklace holds an estimated value of £80,000 to £120,000 ($97,000 to $145,000). Yet for many fans, its worth goes beyond the price tag — it’s a symbol of Diana’s, poise, and elegance.
