Kim Kardashian Drips In Diamonds: Did Kanye Buy Her A New Ring?


Kim Kardashian is typically known for wearing her monochromatic beige and black looks on and off the red carpet. This time around, she decided to slip into some diamonds for the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. Now that’s something you don’t see every day from the reality star.

Like most celebrities, Kim Kardashian was in the French Riviera to attend some of the parties and red carpet events. Since she doesn’t act or have any other noticeable talents, she had to make her red carpet debut in something that’s a departure from her usual style. Kardashian decided to wear head-to-toe diamonds to the De Grisogono Party at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.

On Tuesday, May 17, the starlet slipped into a slinky silver Lan Yu gown complete with chains and a nude underlay. Kim opted for a bold look to go with her sparkling red carpet style. She wore her signature raven tresses slicked back in an elegant bun. Before hitting the red carpet, Kim brought mom Kris Jenner to go jewelry shopping.

But what was noticeable was the diamonds on her hands, not on her dress. The famous Kardashian sister took to Snapchat to show off her $36 million-plus worth of diamond rings during her shopping trip.

In the first clip, she’s seen holding a huge frosted diamond that’s as big as her hand. In the clip, she said that the diamond, which was gifted to her, was “160 carats polished, and 404 carats rough.”

She even shared one Snap that read, “I wish.”

Well, it looks like she got her wish.

In another clip, Kardashian-West was seen wearing three huge diamond rocks on her right hand, explaining the price tag on each one. The pink one, the smallest, was priced at $28 million. Then she revealed that the yellow square-cut retails for $5 million, and the white heart-shaped one in the center costs a meager $3 million.

According to People, Kim was gifted with $36 million worth of diamonds. That’s not even counting the other rock she was seen wearing in the previous clip.

Did Kanye West specially purchase those diamonds for his wife? Check out the photos and videos below and let us know what you think.

Kim Kardashian obviously has an affinity for diamonds. Last month, she took to Instagram and Snapchat to share some naughty photos of herself from a friend’s wedding. In the series of photos, Kim also showed off her latest sparkly gift from hubby Kanye.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star previously revealed that she loves wearing Lorraine Schwartz’s diamond chokers. She posted on her website and app that she wanted one as her push present after giving birth to her son Saint West back in December.

“Do you guys believe in a push present? I never did, but all of my friends do!!! We have the funniest e-mail chains discussing it. One friend got a special diamond ring she always wanted, and another friend got a new car. I like the idea of a push present—after nine months of pregnancy it’s a sweet and well-deserved thank you. We women go through an entire pregnancy carrying a baby…of course it only makes sense that we get something amazing to show how amazing we are! LOL! This pregnancy, I would love a Lorraine Schwartz diamond choker, like the ones I’ve worn before to the Art + Film Gala. Too much? LOL!”

Well, she received that diamond choker, which reportedly costs $1 million. She wasn’t shy about showing off the expensive gift. Kim was obviously happy with the gift and showed it off in all of her cleavage-baring glory, of course. In some of the racy photos, Kim is photographed suggestively eating ice cream and cotton candy and licking her husband’s face.

Some of the photos are simply too hot for the Inquisitr, however, here are the SFW ones.

Then went Kanye proposed to Kim on her 33rd birthday, he gave her a 15-carat diamond engagement ring that cost well over $3 million. Whatever Kim wants, Kim gets. What are your thoughts on her Cannes red carpet look? Sound off below in the comments section.
