Overview
- Initial camera test stills of Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Kelly drew criticism for showing Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s hair as ashy platinum and John F. Kennedy Jr.’s accessories as inauthentic
- Murphy explained those images were provisional lighting and color tests, not representations of final wigs, coats or bags
- A dedicated 10-member style advisory board has been enlisted to guide costume accuracy and source original 1990s pieces
- Production has incorporated vintage items once owned by Bessette-Kennedy, including Prada boots and Calvin Klein designs, to anchor the series in period detail
- Paul Kelly was photographed on set in JFK Jr.’s navy suit and bike look, while Murphy’s profit pledge aims to support the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library
