Julia Fox Defends Bloody Jackie Kennedy Halloween Costume as JFK Grandson Denounces It

She calls the recreation a statement on trauma, power, femininity, protest.

Overview

  • Fox wore a pink skirt suit splattered with fake blood to Julio Torres’ The Cursed Amulet Halloween party in New York City on Oct. 30, completing the look with a pillbox hat, white gloves and a handbag.
  • In an Oct. 31 Instagram post, she wrote she was dressed as Jackie Kennedy “not as a costume, but as a statement,” citing the former first lady’s decision to keep on her blood-stained suit to “let them see what they’ve done.”
  • Jack Schlossberg, grandson of John and Jackie Kennedy, condemned the look on X, calling it “disgusting, desperate and dangerous.”
  • Reactions across social platforms ranged from calling the portrayal disrespectful to praising Fox’s explanation as deliberate commentary, with images and video continuing to circulate widely.
  • Outlets noted the original pink suit remains preserved at the National Archives and is restricted from public display until 2103, and no institutional actions have resulted from Fox’s appearance.
