"I'm dressed as Jackie Kennedy in the pink suit. Not as a costume, but as a statement. When her husband was assassinated, she refused to change out of her blood-stained clothes, saying, 'I want them to see what they've done.' The image of the delicate pink suit splattered with blood is one of the most haunting juxtapositions in modern history."
"Beauty and horror. Poise and devastation. Her decision not to change clothes, even after being encouraged to, was an act of extraordinary bravery. It was performance, protest, and mourning all at once. A woman weaponizing image and grace to expose brutality. It's about trauma, power, and how femininity itself is a form of resistance. Long live Jackie O."
"Julia Fox glorifying political violence is disgusting, desperate and dangerous. I'm sure her late grandmother would agree."
Julia Fox posted an Instagram photo of herself dressed as Jacqueline Kennedy in a bloodied pink suit the former first lady wore the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Fox also wore the outfit to a Halloween party hosted by writer Julio Torres on Oct. 30. Kennedy's grandson Jack Schlossberg condemned the look on X, calling it "disgusting, desperate and dangerous." Fox defended the choice as a statement, citing Kennedy's refusal to remain in blood-stained clothes to show "what they've done" and describing the image as a juxtaposition of beauty and horror. Fox framed the act as performance, protest, mourning, and feminine resistance. The first lady's suit was not cleaned after the assassination and remains preserved.
