Kris Jenner Revives Elizabeth Taylor’s Famous Cape for ‘All’s Fair’ Premiere
Red carpets at prestigious European festivals have long served as the ultimate arena for high fashion, where couture storytelling often eclipses ordinary movie star style. High-profile television launches have increasingly leaned into vintage aesthetics to command attention, bridging classic Hollywood glamour with modern prestige drama. For the premiere festivities surrounding the upcoming second season of the legal drama ‘All’s Fair’, the atmosphere in Rome demanded nothing less than a theatrical sartorial showcase.
Created by Ryan Murphy, ‘All’s Fair’ quickly became one of the most buzzed-about legal dramas on streaming, following fierce attorney Allura Grant navigating cutthroat industry circles. With Kim Kardashian leading a powerhouse ensemble alongside stars like Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, and Niecy Nash-Betts, the series has consistently blurred the lines between narrative courtroom conflict and real-world celebrity luxury. That heightened sense of drama naturally carried over into the promotional tour for the sophomore chapter as the ensemble arrived in Italy for the 21st Rome Film Festival.
Turning heads alongside the star-studded cast, executive producer and reality television icon Kris Jenner made a grand entrance in a piece of Hollywood history: the legendary velvet evening cloak originally worn by Elizabeth Taylor. Stepping onto the carpet, Jenner sported the dramatic black garment draped over a sleek white gown, accessorizing the archival look with white opera gloves and sparkling diamond accents. As reported by Us Weekly, Jenner attended the screening wearing the very same statement piece that once belonged to the Oscar-winning screen legend.
The striking garment carries an extensive lineage that dates back more than five decades in pop culture and royal folklore. As detailed by HOLA!, the hooded cloak was crafted by Roman fashion house Tiziani Roma and features a rich ivory silk lining alongside two intricate silver embroidered scorpions across the chest. Taylor famously debuted the design in 1969 when she attended Princess Grace of Monaco’s 40th birthday celebration, the fabled “Scorpio Ball,” accompanied by Richard Burton.
Beyond making a bold red-carpet appearance, Jenner’s choice of attire directly ties into the fictional world of the upcoming streaming season. Taking to social media following the Italian premiere, Kardashian revealed that her mother purchased the treasured historical relic at auction and graciously permitted it to enter the television production. Kardashian explained, “Fun fact about the cape my mom is wearing. It belonged to Elizabeth Taylor, and my mom now owns it and graciously let me wear it in ‘All’s Fair‘.”
Kardashian also shared how show creator Ryan Murphy was immediately inspired by the garment’s rich backstory to build an entire storyline around the piece. “After Ryan heard the story of Elizabeth Taylor wearing it to Grace Kelly’s Scorpion Ball, naturally, he made sure to write an episode about Allura Grant throwing her own Scorpion Ball,” Kardashian noted, adding that she felt like the “luckiest girl” to borrow it. When the legal drama returns to screens, viewers will get to watch the archival heirloom transition from 1960s high society straight into the series’ lavish fictional courtroom battles.
Showcasing legendary celebrity artifacts has become an unmistakable motif for the family, previously documented across various episodes of ‘The Kardashians’. While donning museum-grade vintage couture regularly sparks vibrant debates across social media, Jenner proved once again that historical fashion remains an unparalleled promotional device. As fans await the return of ‘All’s Fair’, the dramatic Scorpio cloak stands as proof that Golden Age Hollywood glamour never truly goes out of style.
