Kim Kardashian teams her feathered gown with a baseball cap

She rarely puts a foot wrong in the fashion stakes.

Kim Kardashian chose a less expected fashion statement for a casual lunch in the Paris sun, accompanied by her mother Kris Jenner.

The influencer, 44, departed her hotel in a plunging cream satin gown with a feathered trim, which was a sight to behold in itself.

The daring gown showed off Kim’s ample cleavage as it boasted a plunging front, and a matching feathered neckline and skirt trim. 

However, perhaps in a bid to shield herself from the warm weather, Kim chose to accessorise her look with a blue baseball cap.

Kris opted for a starkly different look as she left her hotel in a burgundy double-breasted suit, teamed with a matching tie and a striped shirt.

The pair’s outing came after Kim made a tearful appearance to testify in court during the trial for a 2016 jewellery heist in Paris. 

Despite her harrowing experience during the $10 million robbery where she feared for her life, the reality star was seen breaking down in tears at court as she expressed forgiveness towards the defendant.

During her court appearance, Kim was wearing a $3 million necklace designed by Samer Halimeh New York. The exquisite necklace is made of 18K white gold and adorned with 80 diamonds, with a stunning 10.13-carat pear-shaped center stone.

She added a Sloan Pave diamond ear cuff worth $8,300. 

Inside the courtroom, Kardashian broke down in tears as she shared her fears that she thought she would raped that evening.

Kardashian stood in the packed courtroom across from her mother, Kris Jenner. As she entered the Voltaire Room, the star was greeted by cheers of ‘wow’ from the audience.

Her voice broke as she sobbed while telling the courtroom: ‘I just want to be heard and understood. I appreciate the letter, those words. I forgive you. But it doesn’t change the emotion and the feelings, the trauma, and my life being changed forever,’ after the judge read aloud an apology note written to Kardashian in 2017.

‘I came to Paris for Fashion Week, Paris was always a place that I loved so much. I used to walk around the city when I woke up in the middle of the night. I always felt very safe.’ Kardashian told the court.

‘It was around three in the morning. I heard stomping up the stairs when I was in bed. I kept calling out for my sister and one of my best friends, but no one answered me. And in my bedroom come in a few police officers, or what I assumed were police officers as they were in police uniforms,’ she said, recalling the night of the robbery.

She told the court that the attackers arrived dressed as police officers, with the concierge in handcuffs.

Kardashian described how they tied her hands with cable ties, dragged her to the bathtub and pointed a gun at her temple.

One robber gestured toward her ring. ‘Then I heard one of the gentlemen forcefully say ‘Ring! Ring!’ in English, with an accent, pointing’.

The suspects are accused of tying up Kardashian with zip ties and duct tape before making off with jewellery, including a $4million engagement ring given to her by her then-husband rapper Kanye West (now known as Ye), according to investigators. 

‘And I was still in such shock, because honestly a lot of terrorist attacks were happening in the world, and I thought it was some sort of terrorist attack, and I didn’t immediately understand it was for my jewellery. 

‘They pulled me back in the room once they realised they had everything, and they threw me on the bed. 

‘I was pretty hysterical and I just looked at the concierge and told him what is going to happen to us, I have to make it home to my babies,’ Kardashian said.

She said at one point she feared she was going to be raped as the robbers threw her on the bed and one of them grabbed her leg. ‘But he ended up tying me up and closed my legs,’ she added.

‘I thought about my sister, thought she would walk in and see me shot dead and have that memory in her forever.

‘I absolutely thought I was going to die.

‘After a few minutes, I didn’t hear anything, so I (moved over) to the sink, and it was a marble sink so I cut my ties.

‘When I got downstairs, Simone (her stylist) let me know that she had called my sister Kourtney, and her and the security were on the way. We weren’t sure at that point if they were going to come back. So we ran on the balcony to hide in the bushes.

‘I remember calling my mom from the bushes to let her know what happened. And then I think while we were waiting for my security, we were trying to come up with a plan, if we should jump from the window, as it was just a one-storey building.’

French prosecutors say the men who orchestrated the heist – most in their 60s and 70s – were part of a seasoned criminal ring that tracked Kardashian’s movements through social media.

Two of the defendants have admitted being at the scene. One claims he didn’t know who she was.

Twelve suspects were originally charged. One has died and another was excused due to illness.

The French press dubbed the group les papys braqueurs – ‘the grandpa robbers’ – but prosecutors insist they were no harmless retirees.

Yunice Abbas, 71, who is among the 10 suspects standing trial, many in their late 60s or 70s and dubbed ‘the grandpa gang,’ has told French media that he and others who took part in the robbery did not know who Kardashian was.

‘It’s not her, it’s her diamond we targeted,’ Abbas told C8 TV a few years ago. Abbas has admitted his participation in the robbery – writing a book about his role. 

In interviews with French media, he said he was sorry for what he did and wanted to apologise to Kardashian.

There is no possibility of a guilty plea in such cases and Abbas is standing trial despite admitting to playing a role in the robbery.

Frank Berton, a lawyer representing 68-year-old Aomar Ait Khedache, nicknamed ‘Omar the Old,’ said last month he hoped the fact that Kardashian is a global star won’t affect the trial. 

Khedache is accused of being the gang’s ringleader, which he denies.

‘This trial attracts international attention because of who the plaintiff, the victim, is,’ Berton said.

Kardashian jetted into the French capital on Monday, sharing a picture of her view from the plane that she captioned simply with a French flag. 

While it is not known what the SKIMS founder got up to the night before her day in court, her mother Jenner took to Instagram to reveal she had spent the evening at dinner with partner Corey Gamble and Michael Coste. 

The suspects in the trial are accused of tying up billionaire Kardashian with zip ties and duct tape before making off with jewels, including a $4 million engagement ring given to her by her then-husband rapper Kanye West (now known as Ye), according to investigators. 

Cameras are usually not allowed in courtrooms in France, and Kardashian’s testimony will not be broadcast live.
