Oh, and we're told it's valued at $40,000. The gold matched her hair whic she had dyed blond and contrasted with her black, off the shoulder dress.

Besides earning the spotlight at the Olympics, she also took gold in the SuperPipe at the X Games in Aspen.
After the awards ceremony she attended the official awards after-party at L.A. Live ... and like she does on the half-pipe, Kim didn't even hesitate when Young Gerald asked her to rap Cardi B's verse on his hit, "No Limit." She knew all the words -- even the x-rated ones.
Needless to say, she would have won another gold medal for her rapping stint. Naturally, she crushed it.
