At his final couture show before departing the Spanish brand, Demna paid tribute to his muse Elizabeth Taylor, cosplayed by Kim Kardashian in one-of-a-kind pieces by Lorraine Schwarz worth approximately $50 million in exquisite gemstones.

“[Elizabeth] knew every piece she owned,” Schwartz tells Bazaar. “She told her story through her jewels.” Schwartz loaned Balenciaga the Mike Todd earrings from her personal collection as an ode to Taylor, but she also designed new pieces inspired by her dear friend, including a choker featuring 134 carats of pear and oval-shaped diamonds, and a necklace with 32 carats of diamonds and a 30 carat oval-shaped diamond drop—the later designed after a necklace Taylor famously owned.

The pieces spoke to Taylor’s genuine love of jewels, which Schwartz says would bring a “twinkle” to her eye. “She would be calling me the next morning to say, ‘Lorraine, I want them—either who’s going to buy them for me, or I’m going to buy them for myself!” Schwartz said.
