Many compared this to Kardashian’s appearance at the 2022 Met Gala in Marilyn Monroe’s gown, suggesting she’s more focused on attention than respect for iconic pieces.
Support from Fans
On the other side, fans defended Kim’s choice, noting that her ownership grants her the freedom to style it as she pleases. They appreciated her fusion of vintage jewelry with modern fashion, believing her platform helps keep these historic pieces relevant to younger generations.
Fashion World’s Perspective
Fashion experts remain divided. Kristian Spofforth of Sotheby’s called the Naim Attallah Cross “a bold piece,” emphasizing its flexibility as both a spiritual and fashion statement. Many agree Kardashian’s bold style can bridge past and present, sparking renewed interest in vintage jewelry.
