Kim Kardashian re-creates Elizabeth Taylor's "Scorpio Evening Cape" for the second season of her Hulu series “All’s Fair.” Designed by Tiziani Roma and originally worn at Grace Kelly’s 40th birthday party in 1969, the black velvet cape features two scorpions on both front and back. Kardashian’s version includes a sparkling necklace similar to Taylor's famous diamond piece. The original cape was later auctioned for $74,500 by Christie’s in 2011.

Story summary
Kim Kardashian is set to reprise her role as Allura Grant in Season 2 of the Hulu series "All's Fair," and she has once again brought items from her personal wardrobe for her character. For this season, Kardashian recreates an iconic outfit worn by Elizabeth Taylor: a black velvet hooded cape adorned with scorpions on both the front and back. The original cape, designed by Tiziani Roma, was part of Taylor's ensemble at Grace Kelly’s 40th birthday party in 1969. Taylor accessorized it with her famous Taylor-Burton Diamond necklace, which features a 69.42-carat diamond and was later sold for $5 million to help build a hospital in Botswana.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
