Kim Kardashian turned heads at the LACMA Art+Film gala recently and with the reality star, the possibilities are endless for the head turns. It wasn't just because of what she wore but how she wore it. She wore a white custom Gucci gown with a deep plunging neckline. There was nothing new as far as the choice of silhouette was concerned. Her choice of accessories however sparked a conversation everywhere she went. She wore a historical piece of jewellery - the amethyst crucifix pendant known as the Atallah Cross Necklace, previously worn by Princess Diana. The large pendant consists of square-cut amethysts and is set in diamonds that hang from a string of pearls. Originally worn long by the Princess, Kim wore it layered to shorten the length which she further stacked with a pearl choker from Tallarico and a diamond and pearl necklace from Bulgari. Kim Kardashian also styled it with a long white trench over her arms but the glamorous outfit's focal point remained the cross pendant without a reasonable doubt.

Princess Diana wore this necklace at a charity gala in 1987 over a deep purple velvet gown. The jewellery piece continued to sparkle and startle onlookers with its statement-making beauty. It is believed to have been worn only ever by her and following her death, it has never been seen in public until now.
