A Halloween Costume That Crossed the Line

Julia Fox made a bold choice for Halloween. She dressed up as Jackie Kennedy, but not just any version of her. Fox wore the iconic pink suit that Jackie wore the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. The suit was covered in blood, making it a very controversial costume. Fox wore this outfit to a Halloween party in New York City. The costume included a pink tweed skirt set, a pillbox hat, and a structured handbag. Jackie Kennedy had worn this same outfit when she stood next to Lyndon B. Johnson as he was sworn in as the new president. She refused to change out of the blood-stained suit, showing her strength and understanding of the importance of the moment. The outfit is now kept at the National Archives. It was sent there in 1964, along with a note from Jackie’s mother. The note simply said, \"Jackie’s suit and bag worn Nov. 22, 1963. \" Many people were upset by Fox’s costume choice. When photos of her outfit were shared online, people left comments expressing their disgust. Some called it disturbing and tasteless. One person even said, \"Tragedy is not a costume. \" Fox has not yet commented on the backlash. As an actress known for her unique fashion choices, this costume might not have gotten the reaction she expected.
