Julia Fox Defends Wearing Jackie Kennedy’s Blood-Stained Costume for Halloween
According to CinemaDrame News Agency, Julia Fox sparked controversy this Halloween by dressing up as Jackie Kennedy, the wife of John F. Kennedy. The Uncut Gems actress wore a pink suit splattered with fake blood — a recreation of the outfit Jackie wore on the day her husband was assassinated.
After facing backlash on Instagram, Fox explained:
“I wore Jackie Kennedy’s pink suit — not for shock value, but as a statement. When her husband was assassinated, she refused to change out of her blood-stained clothes. She said, ‘I want them to see what they’ve done.’ Her beautiful pink suit covered in blood remains one of the most haunting contrasts in modern history: beauty and horror, grace and despair.”
She continued:
“Her choice not to change, despite being urged to, was an act of immense bravery — a performance, a protest, and mourning all at once. A woman who turned image and elegance into a weapon against violence. It’s about trauma, power, and how femininity itself can be a form of resistance. Long live Jackie O.”
Jack Schlossberg, Jackie Kennedy’s grandson, criticized the costume on social media platform X, writing:
“It’s sick, disappointing, and dangerous that Julia Fox is glorifying political violence. I’m certain my late grandmother would agree.”
Jackie Kennedy wore the iconic pink Chanel suit on November 22, 1963, the day Lee Harvey Oswald shot her husband in Dallas.
