Kim Kardashian makes bizarre fashion choice as she teams busty feathered gown with a baseball cap for lunch with suited and booted Kris Jenner after testifying in jewellery heist trial
But for a low-key lunch in the Paris sunshine, Kim Kardashian opted for a more unlikely fashion choice as she stepped out with her mother Kris Jenner on Tuesday.
The influencer, 44, departed her hotel in a plunging cream satin gown with a feathered trim, which was a sight to behold in itself.
The daring gown showed off Kim's ample cleavage as it boasted a plunging front, and a matching feathered neckline and skirt trim.
However, perhaps in a bid to shield herself from the warm weather, Kim chose to accessorise her look with a blue baseball cap.
Kris opted for a starkly different look as she left her hotel in a burgundy double-breasted suit, teamed with a matching tie and a striped shirt.
The pair's outing came after Kim made a tearful appearance to testify in court during the trial for a 2016 jewellery heist in Paris.
The reality star broke down in tears as she told the court she forgives the defendant, despite fearing she was going to be raped and killed during the $10 million heist.
Kim arrived at the court wearing a $3 million necklace by Samer Halimeh New York, crafted in 18K white gold and featuring 80 diamonds, culminating in a 10.13-carat pear-shaped center stone.
She added a Sloan Pave diamond ear cuff worth $8,300.
Inside the courtroom, Kardashian broke down in tears as she shared her fears that she thought she would raped that evening.
Kardashian stood in the packed courtroom across from her mother, Kris Jenner. As she entered the Voltaire Room, the star was greeted by cheers of 'wow' from the audience.
Her voice broke as she sobbed while telling the courtroom: 'I just want to be heard and understood. I appreciate the letter, those words. I forgive you. But it doesn't change the emotion and the feelings, the trauma, and my life being changed forever,' after the judge read aloud an apology note written to Kardashian in 2017.
'I came to Paris for Fashion Week, Paris was always a place that I loved so much. I used to walk around the city when I woke up in the middle of the night. I always felt very safe.' Kardashian told the court.
'It was around three in the morning. I heard stomping up the stairs when I was in bed. I kept calling out for my sister and one of my best friends, but no one answered me. And in my bedroom come in a few police officers, or what I assumed were police officers as they were in police uniforms,' she said, recalling the night of the robbery.
She told the court that the attackers arrived dressed as police officers, with the concierge in handcuffs.
Kardashian described how they tied her hands with cable ties, dragged her to the bathtub and pointed a gun at her temple.
One robber gestured toward her ring. 'Then I heard one of the gentlemen forcefully say 'Ring! Ring!' in English, with an accent, pointing'.
The suspects are accused of tying up Kardashian with zip ties and duct tape before making off with jewellery, including a $4million engagement ring given to her by her then-husband rapper Kanye West (now known as Ye), according to investigators.
'And I was still in such shock, because honestly a lot of terrorist attacks were happening in the world, and I thought it was some sort of terrorist attack, and I didn't immediately understand it was for my jewellery.
'They pulled me back in the room once they realised they had everything, and they threw me on the bed.
'I was pretty hysterical and I just looked at the concierge and told him what is going to happen to us, I have to make it home to my babies,' Kardashian said.
She said at one point she feared she was going to be raped as the robbers threw her on the bed and one of them grabbed her leg. 'But he ended up tying me up and closed my legs,' she added.
'I thought about my sister, thought she would walk in and see me shot dead and have that memory in her forever.
'I absolutely thought I was going to die.
'After a few minutes, I didn't hear anything, so I (moved over) to the sink, and it was a marble sink so I cut my ties.
'When I got downstairs, Simone (her stylist) let me know that she had called my sister Kourtney, and her and the security were on the way. We weren't sure at that point if they were going to come back. So we ran on the balcony to hide in the bushes.
'I remember calling my mom from the bushes to let her know what happened. And then I think while we were waiting for my security, we were trying to come up with a plan, if we should jump from the window, as it was just a one-storey building.'
French prosecutors say the men who orchestrated the heist - most in their 60s and 70s - were part of a seasoned criminal ring that tracked Kardashian's movements through social media.
Two of the defendants have admitted being at the scene. One claims he didn't know who she was.
Twelve suspects were originally charged. One has died and another was excused due to illness.
The French press dubbed the group les papys braqueurs - 'the grandpa robbers' - but prosecutors insist they were no harmless retirees.
Yunice Abbas, 71, who is among the 10 suspects standing trial, many in their late 60s or 70s and dubbed 'the grandpa gang,' has told French media that he and others who took part in the robbery did not know who Kardashian was.
'It's not her, it's her diamond we targeted,' Abbas told C8 TV a few years ago. Abbas has admitted his participation in the robbery - writing a book about his role.
In interviews with French media, he said he was sorry for what he did and wanted to apologise to Kardashian.
There is no possibility of a guilty plea in such cases and Abbas is standing trial despite admitting to playing a role in the robbery.
Frank Berton, a lawyer representing 68-year-old Aomar Ait Khedache, nicknamed 'Omar the Old,' said last month he hoped the fact that Kardashian is a global star won't affect the trial.
Khedache is accused of being the gang's ringleader, which he denies.
'This trial attracts international attention because of who the plaintiff, the victim, is,' Berton said.
Kardashian jetted into the French capital on Monday, sharing a picture of her view from the plane that she captioned simply with a French flag.
While it is not known what the SKIMS founder got up to the night before her day in court, her mother Jenner took to Instagram to reveal she had spent the evening at dinner with partner Corey Gamble and Michael Coste.
The suspects in the trial are accused of tying up billionaire Kardashian with zip ties and duct tape before making off with jewels, including a $4 million engagement ring given to her by her then-husband rapper Kanye West (now known as Ye), according to investigators.
Cameras are usually not allowed in courtrooms in France, and Kardashian's testimony will not be broadcast live.

Man, 26, charged with murder after ice cream seller stabbed to death
A man has been charged with murder after an ice cream seller was stabbed to death in north-west London. Shazad Khan, 41, was pronounced dead at the scene after officers responded to reports of an altercation in Monks Park in Wembley at 6.10pm on Tuesday. Zaher Zaarour, 26, of Brent in north-west London, has been charged with murder and possession of a bladed article, the Metropolitan Police announced on Thursday. He is due to appear at Willesden Magistrates' Court on Friday. A 31-year-old woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of conspiracy to murder – but has been bailed pending further inquiries, the force said. Detective Chief Inspector Paul Waller said: 'I would like to thank the community for their help and support during this investigation. 'Residents can expect to see an increase of officers in the local area over the next coming days as the investigation continues.' Local residents said that Mr Khan was well known in the area for selling ice creams in a van. Asim Mahmood Butt, 39, who lives in nearby Tokyngton Avenue, said he was childhood friends with the victim. Speaking at the scene on Wednesday, he said: 'I got a call from one of my cousins. 'This guy, we know him – he's a famous ice cream guy. He got stabbed yesterday. 'I came here and his body was still here, and police had cordoned off the area. 'I know his brothers as well – they're all local. We all used to play cricket and football here in Monks Park. 'He started (selling) ice cream about a year ago.' Mr Butt said Mr Khan was married and had a young daughter. The ice cream van, which had been parked on the road at the time of the incident, was well known locally for having a large teddy bear, the witness added.

DWP launches independent review into Post Office staff prosecutions
The Department for Work and Pensions is launching an independent review into its handling of prosecutions against Post Office staff. There were around 100 prosecutions by the DWP between 2001 and 2006, during the Horizon IT scandal. The decision to review the work on the cases comes after it was revealed the Post Office investigation team shared information with the DWP. The investigation will look at the period of time covered by the Post Office (Horizon System) Offences Act 2024, from 1996 to 2018. This was the legislation that effectively gave a blanket exoneration to Post Office staff convicted in that time, but it did not include DWP-related convictions. It was uncovered that the DWP and Post Office had conducted joint investigations during the scandal by Sky News last May. Responding to the findings at the time, lawyer and then-chair of the Justice Select Committee, Sir Robert Neill KC said the DWP convictions need to be 'looked at'. "I think that's the area they need to look at if we are saying their approach was tainted from the beginning - in the way the investigators adopted things - then joint operations I suspect would be just as tainted arguably as something where it has been the Post Office on its own." A DWP spokesperson said: 'We have committed to commissioning an independent assurance review where Post Office members of staff were prosecuted by the Department for welfare-related fraud. 'These cases involved complex investigations and were backed by evidence including filmed surveillance, stolen benefit books and witness statements – to date, no documentation has been identified showing that Horizon data was essential to these prosecutions.' Lawyer Neil Hudgell, who represented several victims of the Post Office scandal, said the review was 'wholly inadequate', adding that the DWP "should not be marking its own homework.' "Any involvement in the process of appointing reviewers undermines all confidence in the independence of the process," he said. The Horizon IT scandal saw approximately 1,000 individuals wrongfully prosecuted and convicted. Around £1 billion has been paid to victims so far according to the Department for Business and Trade, after a legal act which came into effect on 25 January 2024 authorised automatic compensation. The inquiry into the scandal is still ongoing, having published the first volume of its final report in July.

Love Island girls Meg, Helena and Shakira suffer HUGE financial blow as major fashion brand refusing to sign them up
THE stars of Love Island this series will not be landing a deal from one of the major fashion brands. In the past, a number of popular contestants have cashed in with their own edits and collections for Pretty Little Thing, but this year the retailer will not be working with an islander. 5 5 5 An insider said: 'It's a huge blow for the islanders this year, but PLT just aren't interested. 'They have had a huge rebrand recently and while there's no doubt they have made millions off the likes of Molly-Mae in the past, they will be doing things differently." Molly famously ended up as creative director for PLT after impressing bosses so much. Gemma Owen also signed a hefty deal with them off the back of her series and Ella Thomas, Grace Jackson and Uma Jammeh all worked with them too. Throughout this series, which was won by Toni and Cach, viewers made numerous references to the girls trying to land a deal - in particular Meg and Helena. But their fallout with Shakira and her gang, made people question what deals they would get. One person remarked: 'I wonder if Irish Meg will keep distance from the mean girls now she has seen what the public think of them. That PLT deal won't sign itself sis.' Another said: 'Meg just watched her PLT deal blow up in front of her. Dejon you bad boy.' While a third added: 'Helena is OBSESSED with Shakira omfg, somebody tell Helena she ain't getting that PLT deal from Shakira no matter how hard she tries I beg'. Molly-Mae had long had an affiliation with the brand having secured a big-money deal with the Manchester based retailer following her exit from Love Island. Molly Mae cruelly mum-shamed after quitting £5m PLT job to concentrate on baby Bambi However, she shocked fans when she announced that she would be stepping down from her reported £5million-a-year role as Creative Director in order to focus on motherhood. In June 2023, Molly confirmed that she had quit her mega-money fashion job. She was paid a reported £400,000 per month. In March of this year returning CEO Umar Kamani threw his 'A Legacy in Progress' Party at the Caviar Kaspia in Paris. A string of A-list stars attended, including supermodel Naomi Campbell, actress and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, actor Ed Westwick, boxing champion Anthony Joshua, socialite Cindy Bruna, and fashion influencer Leonie Hanne all graced the event. A Legacy in Progress marked a pivotal moment in PrettyLittleThing's ongoing transformation. He said at the time: 'People talk about the old PLT. This PLT is going to be far better.' 5 LOVE ISLAND VOTING PERCENTAGES TONI and Cach won the Love Island 2025 final - yet what were the exact voting percentages? Las Vegas waitress Toni Laites and professional dancer Cach Mercer went head-to-head with OG islanders Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley in a nail-biting finale. However, Toni and Cach were triumphant and won the summer series after surviving a love triangle just two weeks before the final. A results table shared on Love Island's Instagram account this afternoon showed Toni and Cach were the runaway winners on the night, taking over a third of the votes, with 33.5% of viewers backing them for the crown. However, Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, and Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose. Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, but managed to secure an impressive 18.3% of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty.
