The Kardashians star, Kim Kardashian often makes bold moves that can be hit or miss with fans. But recently, Kim’s fashion choice made it hard not to compare her to a timeless icon, Princess Diana. However, Kim is getting backlash from fans for “disrespecting” Princess Di with her fashion statement.

Kim Kardashian’s Fame Is Starkly Different From Princess Diana

Oftentimes, when people refer to the legendary Princess Diana of Wales, they mention characteristics such as her beauty, her style, her grace, and her charitable heart. However, those don’t seem to be the first things that come to mind when people discuss The Kardashians star, Kim Kardashian. While Kim has built an empire with the Kardashian-Jenner family, she doesn’t usually have the same “warm” feeling that Princess Di gave off as the notable “People’s Princess.” Many people adored her for her charm and heartfelt care.

However, both are strong advocates for people they believe need assistance. Likewise, Kim Kardashian aspires to be a tough businesswoman but adored by fans. Furthermore, she loves to show off her flare for fashion, both old and new looks. But after her latest look, some fans think she is slighting the image of Princess Di.

Kim Kardashian Criticized For ‘Disrespecting’ Iconic Princess Diana

On Reddit, The Kardashians viewers were quick to jump on one of Kim Kardashian’s latest moves. After seeing the star’s fashion choice, one user draws a comparison between Kim and Princess Dianna. However, many people were very critical of her saying she was “disrespectful.” First, a user says, “Is it the actual necklace?” If yes she is doing too much and being disrespectful.” Then, they continue, “In her shein looking dress? Girl you represent everything Queen Diana probably hated.”

  • “Yes it’s the actual necklace but it actually never really belonged to Diana! It was loaned to her on several occasions then kim bought it when it went up for sale.”
  • However, someone else adds, “Kim bought this at Sotheby’s auction in London on January 18, 2023. The amethyst and diamond cross was sold to her for £163,800 (approximately $200,000 USD) – so what that means guys is – that’s Kim’s necklace and she can wear it however she wants.”
  • So tired of the ‘plastics’. There is no natural beauty left in this women and with the personality issues – nasty. She will always be remembered for something – but will never be an icon. Maybe someone we use to explain what VHS tapes are to the younger generation or some 2050 version of ‘What Not to Wear’.”
  • “Kim is out here desecrating the fashion of iconic women who came before her.”

  • “What on earth is going with her hair 😳.”
  • “Are you talking about the forehead curl? Because yeah, I totally agree!”
  • Another person thought she looked like an internet logo and someone else added, “Or a cartoon character or something. It’s ridiculous.”
  • “Princess Diana in her vampire era ❤️.”

Other People Remember Another Famous Look

While some people were appalled at how Kim Kardashian chose to sport the famous necklace Princess Diana wore. However, other people felt she should be able to wear it how she wanted. But some people remembered how disgraceful they thought it was that Kim wore another icon’s dress, Marylin Monroe.

  • “Id rather her wear a necklace that ruin an entire marilyn monroe dress.
  • “The issue I see is that she is using these women’s legacy for her own benefit. She clearly doesn’t honor them – cause nothing about this seems like she is honoring them.”
  • “Lady Di was a princess and respected by the entire world. She was an angel on Earth. The Kardashians are grifters who will use anything at their disposal to keep their names in pop culture, even if it means taking literal pieces of history (eg Marylin Monroe’s JFK dress) to achieve it. By taking these relics of past pop culture, and history, and putting them on her body while attending high-profile events, she is forever connecting herself to history. From this point on, when people in the future talk about Marylin’s JFK dress, or Princess Diana’s cross necklace, they will also include ‘also worn by Kim Kardashian at X event in 2024.’ It’s genius. Evil genius.”

Some People Think Princess Di Would Like Kim Kardashian

But other Kardashians fans think that Princess Diana would like Kim Kardashian.

  • “I think Di would’ve liked her tbh. She was such a sweet soul.”
  • “I agree entirely, Di loved attention and risk taking, she loved tricking paps as well. I think she would have loved another woman who thrived in the lime light with her.”
  • Others didn’t think the necklace was a good fit for either woman, “There used to be a magazine that would ask who wore it better and the answer here is neither.”
  • “Meh that cross is huge it needs to hang lower I would have done an open back, with a high neck so it doesn’t look so costumey. In my opinion , neither wore the right outfit with it. Kim , as usual over sexes her outfit and I hate that giant clown collar on Diana.”
