Remember when Kim Kardashian wore Marilyn Monroe to the Met Gala and everyone lost their minds?
Well, get ready for another controversy involving Kim and the blonde Elton John compared to a candle in the wind!
Well, Kim is once again following in the fashion footsteps of the departed icon, and people are once again losing their minds.
This time, it was Princess Diana who Kim imitated.
And based on the reaction on Twitter, you’d think it was Kim and not Prince Charles and the British tabloid media that made Diana’s life miserable!
Sotherby recently auctioned off a famous amethyst cross necklace once owned by Princess Di.
The seller said it was an “iconic” piece, which was “only worn by the princess, and after her death … it was never seen in public again until now.”
Kim snapped up the item for $197,453, an amount Sotheby’s described as “pre-auction double.”
It is evident from the amount of money he bought that Kim is a big admirer of Princess Di.
But on Twitter and elsewhere, haters took her purchase of Diana’s jewelry as a sign of disrespect.
“He’s really trying to break the ghost of a good woman,” another person said, according to Page Six.
“Think about kim k’s dedication to latching on to the fashion legacies of the dead,” another added.
“Diana has been taken advantage of ENOUGH and for Kimberly to buy something that should be in a museum is pretty hurtful and not in a good way,” said a third.
“This necklace should go to one of diana’s grandchildren,” another user suggested.
It’s not a bad idea – but hey, Kim only lives about an hour away from Harry and Meghan!
Maybe he can swing by and drop it at Lilibet’s next birthday!`
“He’s going to ruin it the way he ruined Marilyn’s dress,” wrote another critic.
Well, there are rumors that Marilyn’s dress suffered a little damage on the night of the Met Gala – and frankly, it’s because the fabric is 60 years old that it lives most of its life behind glass in the Orlando Ripley’s museum. can.
But if that’s the case, it’s probably less Kim’s fault than the people who loaned him money.
As for Diana’s necklace – well, it might be a bit sturdier than the dress, and we’re sure Kim will treat it with care.
But if something happens – well, it’s Kim’s now, and after all, it’s just a necklace, not a horcrux containing a piece of Diana’s soul.
Perhaps the haters can take solace in the fact that Kim isn’t buying it, some other rich fashion freaks will be.
