Kim Kardashian made a striking appearance on the runway at the Balenciaga Fall 2025 Couture show in Paris yesterday morning, once again commanding attention with her signature style.
The media mogul and fashion icon wore a figure-hugging, lingerie-inspired slip dress, effortlessly paired with a dramatic feathered coat draped off her shoulders.
For jewellery, she made a bold statement, donning a pair of exquisite diamond pendant earrings once owned by Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor – on special loan from renowned jeweller Lorraine Schwartz for the occasion.
Experts at UK diamond specialist Steven Stone have since examined the show-stopping earrings in detail, revealing everything there is to know about the extraordinary pieces.
“This pair of earrings come with a touch of Hollywood legend. While in Paris with her husband, film producer Mike Todd, Elizabeth Taylor spotted the original pair – though made of paste – and fell in love with them instantly. A few months later, Mike surprised her with a custom-made version, recreated entirely in diamonds. Now, decades later, the same dazzling earrings made a return to Paris, worn by Kim Kardashian for her unforgettable runway moment.
The elegant earrings feature a classic girandole design, with three dazzling circular-cut diamond drop-shaped pendants gracefully suspended from an intricate openwork plaque of diamond-set flowers and bows. Topped with a sparkling circular-cut diamond flower surmount and mounted in platinum, they embody timeless sophistication and exquisite craftsmanship.
I’d estimate their current value at approximately $650,000, representing a significant appreciation since Lorraine Schwartz acquired the earrings at auction in 2011 for $374,500.”
