On May 14 in France, a trial began against the robbers who stole $10 million worth of jewelry nearly ten years ago from American reality star Kim Kardashian 💰. But the glamorous socialite did not appear bankrupt — quite the opposite. She walked into the Palace of Justice in Paris wearing a stunning diamond necklace 💎 that complemented her luxurious look by provocative British designer John Galliano 👗.
The media couldn't stop talking about her courtroom appearance. Fashion analysts and tabloids broke down every piece of her outfit. Jewelry experts revealed that her statement necklace — crafted by Samer Halimeh New York — was made of 18k white gold and encrusted with 80 diamonds, including a central pear-shaped 10.13-carat diamond 💍. Its estimated value? A dazzling $3 million. She also wore a bracelet, a ring, and several diamond ear cuffs by Briony Raymond worth a total of $8,100 ✨.
Laura Taylor, a jewelry specialist at Lorel Diamonds, noted that Kardashian’s accessory choices seemed “highly intentional.” 👀
Fans were thrilled by her appearance — only a strong woman could confidently face her former attackers wearing such opulence. Kim emphasized that this wasn’t a show-off move, but a symbol of resilience: “Fear does not define my life,” she said 💪. However, police believe her past social media posts may have exposed her movements and made her vulnerable 🕵️♂️.
The trial is expected to last around three weeks, with one of the key questions being the fate of the stolen jewels.
To recall: The robbery took place during Paris Fashion Week in October 2016. Five armed men posing as police officers broke into her hotel room, tied her up, and stole millions in jewels, including her engagement ring from then-husband Kanye West 💔. Kardashian said her criminal justice reform work and dream of becoming a lawyer gave her the strength to tell the full story — and even forgive one of the accused, 71-year-old Aomar Ait Khedache, who apologized to her in court 🤝.
