Kim Kardashian pays tribute to 90's icon at Paris Fashion Week

Kim Kardashian made a head-turning appearance at Paris Fashion Week, reviving memories of the classical era.

Although the 44-year-old model was trolled for looking “drunk” while walking the ramp, she made a statement with her appearance.

During Balenciaga’s runway show, the Skims founder recreated the 1950s look of Elizabeth Taylor from her movie Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Notably, it was the jewellery that truly stole the spotlight.

The reality star wore 250 carats of diamonds from Lorraine Schwartz, including two layered necklaces, which was once worn by the veteran actress herself.

Reportedly, the chandelier-style studs were acquired by Schwartz in 2011 for $374,500 USD.

The entrepreneur donned a satin slip dress featuring a delicate lace trim and paired it with an oversized feather coat which draped off her shoulders.

Furthermore, she completed the look with side-swept waves styled in classic old Hollywood fashion, attracting massive attention from her fans.

Kim’s stunning appearance spellbound her admirers, and even her mother, Kris Jenner, couldn’t stop herself from praising her daughter.

The momager took to Instagram shortly after the show and wrote, “Kim’s look was a stunning tribute to Elizabeth Taylor.”

She’s “wearing Elizabeth’s personal diamond pendant earrings from Lorraine Schwartz’s private collection.”

The socialite also shared highlights of the event on her social media account.

“Walking Demna’s last Balenciaga couture show, dripping in Lorraine Schwartz jewellery and wearing Elizabeth Taylor’s own diamond earrings from her private collection,” she wrote, expressing her gratitude.
