Kim Kardashian made a bold entrance at the 2025 Met Gala in a head-to-toe custom Chrome Hearts outfit. She donned a black crocodile leather ensemble featuring a form-fitting corset and dramatic long coat. She topped off the look with a broad leather hat and even incorporated strands of pearls draped at her waist for a touch of opulence.
The edgy outfit was on-theme for the Met's "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" exhibition, yet Kardashian's most eye-catching accessories were the glittering diamond necklaces that cascaded around her neck.
What Necklaces Did Kim Kardashian Wear?
Kardashian's show-stopping neckwear was a layered stack of high-end diamond necklaces from famed luxury jeweler Moussaieff. She "packed on the diamonds"—wearing more than a million dollars' worth of Moussaieff diamond necklaces—to create a multi-strand statement piece on the Met Gala red carpet.
The necklaces, composed of countless brilliant white diamonds, evoked a classic rivière style but multiplied for maximum impact. In keeping with the all-diamond theme, Kardashian also wore pear-shaped diamond drop earrings and an array of diamond rings on her fingers.

Notably, one was identified as a Boucheron Vendôme Liseré pear-cut diamond ring (4.18 carats), adding an extra element of historic French haute joaillerie to her accessories. Kardashian's necklace selection had no known historical provenance (unlike some vintage jewels seen that night), but the sheer scale and sparkle of the Moussaieff diamonds ensured her look was one of the evening's most memorable.
How Much Are They Worth?
Kardashian's striking diamond necklaces from Moussaieff were among the most extravagant at the 2025 Met Gala. Some are easily identifiable on Moussaieff's website, complete with detailed specifications and indicative values:
A 57.27-carat necklace featuring pear-shaped diamonds (H-K colors, Flawless to SI1 clarity), including a central diamond of 3.30 carats (I color, VS2 clarity), set in 18ct white gold, valued typically between $750,000 and $1.5 million.
A dramatic choker necklace containing 153.11 carats of pear, oval, and circular-shaped diamonds (D-G colors, VVS1-SI1 clarity), mounted in platinum and 18ct white gold, valued between $4 million and $8 million.
A necklace with 62.61 carats of diamonds, specifically 58.85 carats of pear and oval-shaped diamonds (D-F colors, Internally Flawless to SI1 clarity), mounted in platinum, typically worth between $1.5 million and $3 million.
In addition to these confirmed pieces, Kardashian also wore other diamond necklaces whose exact details and valuations couldn't be independently verified. Collectively, her ensemble undoubtedly reached well into the multimillion-dollar range, highlighting the extraordinary opulence of her gala appearance.
Each strand featured sizable high-clarity stones; combined, the multi-necklace stack easily surpassed seven figures. The inclusion of other diamond pieces—like large drop earrings and the 4.18-carat diamond ring—only added to the worth of her jewelry ensemble.
A 4.18-carat pear-cut diamond ring from a prestigious jeweler like Boucheron typically ranges from $120,000 to $250,000, though Kardashian's Vendôme Liseré ring could be valued at the higher end or beyond, considering the luxury brand and intricate craftsmanship.

Rihanna turned heads with vintage diamond brooches, and comedian Ego Nwodim dazzled with a cascading diamond necklace paired with elegant tassel earrings. Broadway producer Jordan Roth also made a stylish statement with Boucheron jewelry.

Kourtney Kardashian Reacts to Daughter Finishing 6th Grade
Every parent feels proud when their daughter or son accomplishes anything, especially academically; even Kourtney Kardashian was no exception. A recent Instagram story shows the mom being emotional after realizing her daughter Penelope is officially 'done with 6th grade' and soon will be joining the next grade. The reality star was emotional with the thought of her 'baby girl' completing her schooling milestone and took to Instagram to share the sentiment with her followers. Kourtney Kardashian is one proud mom. Realizing that her 12-year-old daughter, Penelope, is 'done with 6th grade,' Kardashian could not hold her tears back. The socialite was happy yet emotional. She did not even hesitate to share this moment with her fans on Instagram. On June 3, the mom posted a candid picture of herself showing her emotional side. She was dressed up in comfy cheetah print pajamas and hid her face when Penelope clicked the photo. 'me crying bc my baby girl is done with 6th grade,' she captioned the post, adding, 'she's taking pics of me,' referring to her daughter. The reality star has always been open about her love for kids. Along with Penelope, Kardashian also shares sons Mason and Reign with her ex, Scott Disick. After marrying Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, the couple became parents to a son, Rocky Thirteen Barker, in November 2023. Kardashian is also a stepmom to son Landon, daughter Alabama, and his stepdaughter Atiana. They are Travis Barker's kids with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. The reality star has always been open about her parenting style and her method of raising her kids. Last month, while appearing on sister Khloe Kardashian's podcast, 'Khloé in Wonderland,' Kardashian shared her thoughts about the traditional schooling system. She said the traditional system is 'so dated,' hinting that she is open to the idea of homeschooling if that's what her kids want. The Poosh founder talked about how her children may send her videos of 'really successful people' whose kids don't go to school. So, she may start thinking, 'What's the goal here? You want to do homeschool? Let's do it!' Kardashian said, further revealing she loves being a hands-on parent. Originally reported by Parul Singh on Reality Tea.

Frederick Forsyth dies aged 86
Frederick Forsyth has died at the age of 86. A statement released by his literary agent, Curtis Brown, said that he died at home after a brief illness surrounded by his family. The British author, who was one of the youngest ever RAF pilots and a former journalist, published more than 25 books. His novels, which include The Day of the Jackal, have sold over 75 million copies. Mr Forsyth's agent, Jonathan Lloyd, said: 'We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers. 'Only a few weeks ago I sat with him as we watched a new and moving documentary of his life - In My Own Words, to be released later this year on BBC1 – and was reminded of an extraordinary life, well lived.' Mr Lloyd described how the author had used 'his gift for languages in German, French and Russian' to become a foreign correspondent in Biafra. 'Appalled at what he saw and using his experience during a stint as a Secret Service agent, he wrote his first and perhaps most famous novel,' Mr Forsyth's agent continued. The novel, The Day of The Jackal, was published in 1972 and propelled Forsyth to the status of a global bestselling author. It has since been adapted into a film and more recently, a TV series starring Eddie Redmayne. Mr Lloyd said: 'He will be greatly missed by his family, his friends, all of us at Curtis Brown and of course his millions of fans around the world - though his books will of course live on forever.' The acclaimed writer was only 17-years-old when he got into the Royal Air Force and later, when he was a journalist, worked in Paris and East Berlin at the height of the Cold War. He has previously told The Telegraph that he had 'good luck to be able to turn lots of that [experience] into books' but that he had 'no lust to be 90'. He wrote in the newspaper six years ago, when he was aged 80: 'So, unless I go completely crazy, which I don't intend to do, the rest of my days should be comfortable. 'As for the future, I may survive the next decade but I've no lust to be 90. I don't know what I'd do, beyond what I'm doing nowadays, which is getting up in the morning, reading the Telegraph and the Mail and having all my prejudices reconfirmed, brewing up a cup of char and then going down the pub for lunch.' His publisher, Bill Scott-Kerr, wrote: 'Transworld's long relationship with Frederick Forsyth began in 1972 with the Corgi paperback publication of The Day of the Jackal. 'With its never-before-read ice-cool writing, iconic jacket and a protagonist for the ages, The Day of the Jackal was an instant bestseller across the world and immediately propelled Freddie into a globally successful career which would span the next fifty years across books, films and most recently television.' The popular novel remains the first and most enduring of his 16 thrillers and follows a hired assassin who targets the French president Charles de Gaulle. The TV adaptation marked the third to reach the screen, following one fronted by Edward Fox in 1973, and another that Forsyth disowns, with Bruce Willis in 1997. Mr Scott-Kerr continued: 'Having long held The Day of the Jackal as the blueprint of the modern thriller, I was honoured to become his editor for Avenger in 2002 and have remained so ever since. 'Working with Freddie has been one of the great pleasures of my professional life, perhaps never more so when he pulled back the curtain on his eventful life in his autobiography, The Outsider, one of the most entertaining and fascinating nonfiction books you could hope to read.' He added that Forsyth's journalistic background 'brought a rigour and a metronomic efficiency to his working practice and his nose for and understanding of a great story kept his novels both thrillingly contemporary and fresh'. 'It was a joy and an education to watch him at work,' he continued. 'Still read by millions across the world, Freddie's thrillers define the genre and are still the benchmark to which contemporary writers aspire. 'He leaves behind a peerless legacy which will continue to excite and entertain for years to come.' Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

'Largest Princess Diana auction' features frocks, hats and bags
NEWBRIDGE, Ireland (Reuters) - From colourful frocks and hats to handbags and shoes, items belonging to the late Princess Diana go under the hammer this month in what Julien's Auctions says is the largest collection of her fashion to go to auction. The live and online "Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection" sale will take place on June 26 at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, offering an array of fashion items Diana wore. "This is the largest Princess Diana auction because we have over 100 items from her amazing life and in mind Diana over 70 of her in 1997 to raise money for her charity," Martin Nolan, executive director and co-founder of Julien's Auctions, told Reuters on Monday. He was speaking at the Museum of Style Icons in Newbridge in Ireland during a pre-sale exhibition. Among the highlights is a 1988 silk floral dress by Bellville Sassoon, dubbed the "caring dress" because Diana wore it several times on hospital visits, with a price estimate of $200,000-$300,000. A cream silk embroidered evening gown Catherine Walker designed for Diana's 1986 Gulf tour has a similar price tag, while a Bruce Oldfield two-piece yellow floral ensemble she wore for Royal Ascot in 1987 is estimated at $100,000-$200,000. Other sale items include a Dior handbag gifted to her by former French first lady Bernadette Chirac in 1995, a sketch of Diana's 1981 wedding dress with tulle fabric cut-offs from when she married then Prince Charles in 1981 and a peach hat she wore for her honeymoon send-off. The auction also includes pieces belonging to other British royals including the late Queen Elizabeth II and the queen mother. Nolan said Julien's Auctions had previously sold a dress belonging to Diana for $1.14 million. "People do consider these items as an asset class now, because if people own these items today, chances are in years to come they will sell them for more than what they pay for (at) auction," he said. Part of the proceeds from the sale of Diana's items will go to charity Muscular Dystrophy UK. The pre-sale exhibition in Newbridge will run until June 17.
