Overview

  • Murphy said the initial images released were pulled from lighting and camera tests, not the series’ finalized costumes.
  • He confirmed that Sarah Pidgeon’s criticized blond look was produced by a wig used for on-set color trials.
  • A 10-member style advisory board has been assembled to reference and source authentic Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy pieces.
  • Costume designer Lou Eyrich is building a replica of Bessette-Kennedy’s Narciso Rodriguez wedding dress and has acquired original Manolo Blahnik, Prada and Birkin accessories.
  • After JFK Jr.’s nephew Jack Schlossberg challenged the family’s lack of consultation and urged profit donations, Murphy pledged to give show proceeds to the JFK Presidential Library.
