Cross Pendants Are Back And How: 5 Celebrities Who Aced The New Trend
Some trends never go out of style, the timeless cross pendant being one of them. The cross pendants made a comeback in late 2024 and the trend has been on the rise ever since. Whether styled for a casual day out or a glamorous evening look, cross pendants are proving their versatility as a bold statement piece.
From ‘Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’ fame Shalini Passi to everyone’s favourite Kim Kardashian, here are celebs who are ace-ing the cross-pendant look and showing everyone how to style it right.
Who Wore The Cross Pendant First?
The dramatic cross pendant was first worn by Princess Diana in 1987. The Garrard crucifix pendant previously belonged to Ramsay Attallah's father Naim Attallah, the publisher and former managing director of Asprey. According to Ramsay, his father was a friend of Diana’s and he loaned her this particular piece to wear on a number of occasions.
However, it was not seen after her death, until last year.
