6 prized fashion items in Kim Kardashian’s memorabilia collection, from Princess Diana’s pendant and Elizabeth Taylor’s bracelets, to Elvis Presley’s gold rings and Michael Jackson’s jacket and hat
- Kardashian has an ‘obsession with auctions’ and her wardrobe is full of items worn by famous people, from Princess Diana’s amethyst pendant to Elizabeth Taylor’s jade and diamond bangle bracelets
- The reality star-turned-fashion icon gifted her brother Rob Kardashian 2 of Elvis Presley’s gold rings and her daughter North the hat that Michael Jackson wore in his music video ‘Smooth Criminal’
The reality star-turned-trendsetter, 42, famously wore Marilyn Monroe’s “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress to the Met Gala last year. Monroe wore it when she sang “Happy Birthday” to then-President John F. Kennedy in 1962 during a Madison Square Garden fundraiser.
Confessing her “obsession with auctions”, per British media, she also owns a costly celebrity’s memorabilia collection, reports British media. Most recently, on January 18, she splurged a whopping US$200,000 for a necklace of Princess Diana.
What are the other pieces in her growing “museum” wardrobe that may reappear in the upcoming Met Gala?
1. Princess Diana’s Garrard Attallah Cross
Dubbed the Attallah Cross, the necklace has a total diamond weight of around 5.25 carats and was created by the heritage luxury jeweller Garrard in the 1920s, who also crafted Diana’s engagement ring. The pendant was bought by the late businessman Naim Attallah CBE, the former group chief executive of Asprey & Garrard, who loaned it to his friend Princess Diana, per the same source.
