Kardashian Celebrates Birthday Before Visiting Rome

Kardashian’s appearance in Italy follows her 46th birthday earlier in the week, according to Page Six. Before arriving in Europe, she celebrated with a romantic getaway to the Philippines with boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, followed by an intimate birthday dinner in archival Paco Rabanne looks. In Rome, she made a dramatic entrance at the Bulgari store, wearing a white halter-neck maxi dress with a deep V-neckline designed by Christian Cowan, paired with white leather Christian Louboutin Exagona platforms featuring 160mm stiletto heels and a 60mm front platform. Later in the day, Kardashian swapped the white gown for a sheer naked dress from Erdem’s collection.

Hulu Series Premiere Features Diamond Necklace

Season 2 of the Hulu series, created by Ryan Murphy, is scheduled to premiere on November 4. Promotional teasers for the show feature Kardashian wearing a $2.7 million diamond necklace modeled after Elizabeth Taylor’s famous Taylor-Burton Diamond.

The Scorpio Cape Connection

Kris Jenner’s style choices drew historical fashion parallels during the European trip, as she recently wore Elizabeth Taylor’s original black velvet Scorpio evening cape. The garment was first worn by Taylor to Princess Grace’s Scorpio Ball in Monte Carlo on November 15, 1969. Christie’s auction records indicate the cape may have been designed by Karl Lagerfeld during his time freelancing for Tiziani. The piece sold at a Christie’s auction in 2011 for $74,500 as part of Taylor’s personal collection. Whether Jenner wore that exact garment or a recreation remains unconfirmed, though the choice aligns with her upcoming November 5 birthday and shared Scorpio zodiac sign.
