She wore a white ball gown by Chanel, the same design that Claudia Schiffer wore for the Fall 1992 collection. The choice of accessories – especially the diamond necklace – has an interesting history.

The Legendary White Diamond is over 100 carats and is an homage to the iconic Tiffany Yellow Diamond. The original 128.54-carat yellow Tiffany diamond was found in 1977 in the Kimberley diamond mines of South Africa and has since become one of Tiffany's most famous items.
