Wow, wow, wow. Can you even imagine getting this for a Christmas present? Kim Kardashian revealed on Instagram Stories last night that she and Kanye West gave their daughter North Michael Jackson's iconic black velvet jacket with diamonds at the shoulder and chest and a burgundy armband on the right arm.

Kardashian explained,
Jackson first wore the jacket when he attended "Happy Birthday, Elizabeth Taylor: A Celebration of Life" with Taylor in 1997. According to E!, "The jacket had sold for a winning bid of $65,625 at Julien's Auctions' Icons And Idols: Rock N' Roll event in New York in October."
Here are a few screenshots from Kardashian's story—she added pictures of Jackson and Taylor inside the jacket, presumably so we/North could see the comparison:
