GLAM ON THE STAND

Kim Kardashian Shows Up to Jewelry Heist Trial Dripping in 80 Diamonds

Kim Kardashian wore a $3 million diamond necklace while testifying about the 2016 heist in which she was robbed of $9 million in jewelry.

Kim Kardashian showed up to a Paris courtroom looking more Met Gala than legal drama—wearing a $3 million diamond necklace as she took the stand in the trial over her 2016 robbery. The reality TV star wore an all-black suit with the Samer Halimeh New York necklace, which has 80 diamonds set in 18-karat white gold, according to Page Six. More diamonds adorned her earrings and anklet, along with a shimmering $8,100 ear cuff. Kardashian testified Tuesday against ten people accused of robbing her at gunpoint in a luxury apartment she was renting for Paris Fashion Week in Oct. 2016. The “grandpa robbers”—as they’ve been dubbed for being mostly in their 60s and 70s—allegedly tied Kardashian up, gagged her, and robbed her of $9 million worth of jewelry, including a $4 million, 20-carat diamond engagement ring that her then-fiancé Kanye West had given her. After the heist she vowed to wear less expensive jewelry so as she wouldn’t appear to be a target for theives. At the trial Tuesday, Kardashian said she thought she “would be dead on the bed, shot dead” during the robbery. She had flown across the pond Monday and was accompanied to the trial by her mother Kris Jenner.
