Kim Kardashian Dazzles on French Vogue Cover, Years After Paris Robbery Trauma
PARIS – Kim Kardashian appears on the cover of Vogue France’s October issue adorned solely in diamonds, a striking image released September 19, 2025, that carries particular resonance given her harrowing 2016 robbery in Paris. The cover,photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott,showcases Kardashian in a glittering ensemble,a bold statement of resilience and reclaiming agency.
The appearance arrives as the final suspects in the 2016 heist were convicted in France earlier this year. Kardashian previously testified that she feared she would be raped and killed during the incident, where she was robbed at gunpoint in her hotel room by a group who stole jewels worth millions.The suspects were accused of tying Kardashian up with zip ties and duct tape before stealing her jewelry, including a $4 million engagement ring gifted to her by then-husband rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. Her older sister, Kourtney Kardashian, was also in Paris during the 2016 trip.
“I absolutely thought I was going to die,” Kardashian testified on may 13, shedding tears.”I thought about my sister, thought she would walk in and see me shot dead and have that memory in her forever.”
Following the verdict, Kardashian thanked French investigators and stated, “The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family. While I’ll never forget what happened, I beleive in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all. I remain committed to advocating for justice, and promoting a fair legal system.”
