Kim has made no secret of her love of the former child star who died at the age of 79 in March last year.
Last month she spent $65,000 at a Christie's auction to buy a set of three gold and jade Lorraine Schwartz bangles once owned by the late actress.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was one of the final people to interview Elizabeth in an article that was published in the March issue of US Harper's Bazaar.

Kim - who is currently divorcing her second husband, Kris Humphries, whom she married in August - said to the Oscar-winner: 'You are my idol.
'But I'm six husbands and some big jewels behind. What should I do?'
The Cat On A Hot Tin Roof actress told her: 'I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands.
'For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else.'

The couple relocated after Lamar was transferred from the LA Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks.
Upon arriving at LAX, she immediately hopped in her custom-made Rolls Royce and headed - where else - but to the nail salon.
