Kim Kardashian glided into the Palais de Justice like a tiny, dazzling empress from a far-off land, which pretty much sums up her global position.
With her hair pinned up and dressed in a black Balenciaga dress, plus plenty of plunge and cleavage up top – because why not? – she was very Barbie Goes To Court meets Superhot Justice Vigilante.
Her mother Kris Jenner was in attendance and the two reality TV stars made their regal procession through the famous court complex in the heart of Paris.
This is the place where, just over 230 years ago, Marie Antoinette received her death sentence. Revolution was in the air back then. Today we were in for a different type of reckoning from a different kind of queen, although the end goal was much the same – heads must roll.
'It wasn't just jewellery,' Ms Kardashian, 44, complained to the jury at one point. 'Someone took away my memories.'
