Kim Kardashian flanked by armed police as she arrives at court for Paris robbery trial

Kim Kardashian has arrived at the Palais De Justice in Paris for the trial where she will testify over the horrifying 2016 robbery that saw her being held at gunpoint before millions of dollars worth of jewellery was stolen. A group of pensioners dubbed the 'grandpa robbers' by French media are on trial in Paris charged with stealing the mum-of-four's jewels during Paris Fashion Week in 2016.

Hundreds of extra police and gendarmes were mobilised around the historic Palais de Justice in the centre of the French capital, where the 44-year-old American reality TV star and socialist was due on Tuesday afternoon. She is the lead civil party speaking on behalf of the prosecution in the trial of nine men and one woman who allegedly made up the gang behind the armed attack in 2016.

Kim looked solemn as she arrived at the building wearing a black blazer with pointed shoulder pads and a large diamond necklace. Her hair was tied into a neat bun with bangs cascading dow the sides of her face.

In the terrifying robbery, the masked gang, whose ages range from 35 to 78, bound and gagged the , 44, before stealing £7.5 million of jewellery, which was never recovered. Kim's engagement ring from her then-husband, , was among the items taken.
