Julia Fox Defends Bloody Jackie Kennedy Halloween Look

Fox frames the blood‑spattered recreation as a political statement about trauma, power, femininity.

Overview

  • Fox wore a pink suit splashed with fake blood to Julio Torres’ Cursed Amulet Halloween party in New York City on Oct. 30, closely echoing Jackie Kennedy’s 1963 attire.
  • On Oct. 31, she posted on Instagram that it was “not a costume, but a statement,” citing Jackie Kennedy’s refusal to change her blood‑stained clothes after JFK’s assassination.
  • Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of JFK and Jackie Kennedy, condemned the look on X as “disgusting, desperate and dangerous.”
  • Reaction online was divided, with many calling the portrayal insensitive while others said her explanation articulated an artistic intent.
  • Coverage noted the original suit is preserved by the National Archives and kept from public display until 2103, and Fox has not issued an apology or retraction.
