Kim Kardashian has made a striking statement ahead of the upcoming trial of the men accused of robbing her in Paris, sharing Instagram posts featuring diamond-studded anklets during a recent trip to Maui.
The display marks a rare return to showcasing flashy jewelry, nearly a decade after Kardashian was the victim of a high-profile armed robbery in Paris in 2016.
In that incident, she was bound, gagged, and robbed at gunpoint of nearly $10 million worth of jewelry—including her $4 million engagement ring from Kanye West—shortly after posting photos of it online. The trauma led her to significantly scale back her public display of luxury items.
In the new photos, Kardashian sports four diamond-encrusted anklets, a notable departure from her usual, more cautious approach.
The posts are being interpreted as a symbolic act of defiance, especially with the trial of the so-called “Grandpa Robbers” now underway in France. Kardashian is expected to testify in Paris next month.
While she has occasionally worn high-value pieces for special events—such as at a 2024 wedding in India, where she also momentarily lost a large diamond, and when she donned Princess Diana’s amethyst cross pendant—these moments have been infrequent. Her latest Instagram posts stand out not just for their opulence, but for the timing and tone.
The message seems clear: nearly 10 years after the robbery meant to silence her, Kardashian is reclaiming her confidence and refusing to be intimidated.
