The Closets of Late Celebs Hate to See Kim K Coming 😬
What an insult to Princess Diana. – Reddit Commenter
Sigh. Kim Kardashian is at it again, stirring up controversy by wearing the belongings of iconic stars who have passed. You’d think that with Kim Kardashian’s net worth sitting comfortably in the billionaire range, she could afford her own designer wardrobe. But no, she’s reminding us yet again why she got booed at the Tom Brady roast—people are simply over it.

Major Backlash
Right now, Kardashian is facing major backlash for wearing the late Princess Diana’s Attallah cross necklace. It’s not the first time celebrity news has called her out for sporting vintage pieces tied to iconic figures. Remember the 2022 Met Gala debacle, when she allegedly damaged Marilyn Monroe’s dress with her BBL? Well, now she’s ruffling feathers again, this time for wearing Princess Diana’s iconic cross pendant at the LACMA gala in L.A. This particular piece hadn’t been worn publicly since before Princess Diana died in 1997.

According to entertainment rumors and Variety, Kardashian snagged the Attallah cross at a Sotheby’s auction for $197,453. This marks her first foray into publicly bidding on British royal family artifacts.
But it’s not the collecting itself that’s bothering people; it’s the way she’s chosen to wear it. Many feel that pairing Diana’s deeply personal, Christian cross with a barely-there gown is disrespectful to her legacy.
One Reddit commenter summed it up perfectly, saying, “I’m always impressed by how the Kardashian clan can make things that are so expensive look so damn cheap.” Over on X (formerly Twitter), another user added, “What an insult to Princess Diana.”

More Than a Pretty Face
The reaction is predictably split. Die-hard Kim stans are here for it, but everyone else seems to find it tacky at best and offensive at worst. Here’s the thing: I’m torn when it comes to Kim. I admire her hustle and can’t stand the constant sex-shaming, yet I still don’t understand her appeal. Let’s face it, she’s likely doing this to keep her name in the headlines. So, if people really hate her antics, the best move might just be to stop talking about her altogether.
