HHT – Not only does Kim Kardashian own the most luxurious designer pieces, she is also a collector of vintage clothes. She has an archive filled with famous items, or you could say, treasures in the fashion world.
Kim Kardashian is a reality TV star, but thanks to her unique fashion style , she is gradually being recognized by the fashion industry as one of the brightest stars in the fashion world.
Not only that, Kim Kardashian is also a vintage hunter and a respected collector , owning a repository of valuable and famous treasures, such as Princess Diana’s necklace, Marilyn Monroe’s evening gown or Jackie Kennedy’s Cartier watch.
Princess Diana’s cross pendant
Kim Kardashian has quietly purchased Princess Diana’s crucifix pendant for nearly $200,000. The pendant is made of silver and gold, with exquisite amethysts and diamonds. Princess Diana wore it to a charity gala in 1987 and has not been seen in public since her death.
The pendant first appeared in Kim’s possession in a behind-the-scenes photo shared on her Instagram Story. Kim later wore it to the Los Angeles gala with a revealing, dramatic white dress.
Jacqueline Kennedy’s Cartier watch
One of the most expensive collectibles Kim Kardashian has purchased is a vintage Jacqueline Kennedy Cartier Tank watch, which cost a whopping $379,500. The watch was a gift from John Kennedy to the First Lady, and it reportedly once belonged to Prince Stanislaw “Stas” Radizwell. The back of the watch is engraved with the words “Stas to Jackie – February 23, 1963 – 2:05 AM to 9:35 PM.”
After acquiring the precious timepiece, Kim wore it during her trip to the White House, where she met with US President Donald Trump. Although the watch was not visible to the public because it was hidden under her jacket sleeve, Kim said it gave her strength and encouragement throughout the meeting.
Elizabeth Taylor’s Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry
Kim Kardashian herself is a collector of luxury jewelry, which is not only valuable but also durable over time. In particular, she owns some of the diamond jewelry that belonged to Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor. In 2011, Kim spent $64,900 to buy three Lorraine Schwartz diamond and jade bracelets that once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor.
Marilyn Monroe’s Jean Louis evening dress
Kim had to lose nearly 7 kg to be able to fit into this iconic dress .
At the 2022 Met Gala , everyone still clearly remembers the explosive moment from Kim Kardashian’s appearance, in Marilyn Monroe’s famous Jean Louis dress.
Even though it was just a borrowed dress, perhaps not many stars are as brave and daring as Kim, to borrow and try on a design associated with a great star and an important historical anecdote. Regardless, Kim Kardashian had a worthy moment on the Met Gala red carpet thanks to this beautiful dress.
