Julia Fox Defends Blood-Stained Jackie Kennedy Costume After Online Backlash

The actor calls the Halloween look a performance-protest referencing Jackie Kennedy’s decision to keep her stained suit in 1963.

Overview

  • Fox wore a recreation of the pink suit with exaggerated bloodstains to a Halloween party hosted by writer Julio Torres.
  • Jack Schlossberg, grandson of John F. Kennedy, condemned the look on X, calling it “repugnant, desperate and dangerous.”
  • Criticism on social platforms labeled the choice insensitive and disrespectful, with many calling it morbid or attention-seeking.
  • In posts defending the outfit, Fox said it was a statement of performance, protest and mourning, citing Jackie Kennedy’s refusal to change after the assassination.
  • The original raspberry-pink Chanel suit worn in 1963 is held by the National Archives in Maryland.
