Paris was the venue for Kim's court appearance as she took the stand to testify for a 2016 armed robbery trial. Dressed head-to-toe in black for the courtroom, she accessorized with attention-grabbing diamond earrings, a lavish diamond necklace, and a matching ring. According to "Page Six," the necklace itself was estimated to be worth approximately 1.5 million US dollars and featured no less than 80 diamonds.
Flashback to 2016
The high-stakes case involves stolen jewelry worth a whopping ten million US dollars. On October 3, 2016, a gang of armed men, later kitted the "Opa-Raiders," broke into Kardashian's room at the Hôtel de Pourtalès during her visit to Paris with sister Kourtney Kardashian (46) for the city's fashion week.
News outlets like "NBC News" reported on Kardashian's emotional testimony. She confessed to fearing for her life as two armed men invaded her room, tying her up. Fears ranged from being raped and left for dead on her bed to her sister Kourtney also becoming a victim.
Kris Jenner was present in Paris, serving as a source of support for Kim throughout her court hearings at the Palais de Justice. The verdict is penciled in for May 23, as per CNN.
