Julia Fox caused a storm after showing up to a Halloween party dressed as a blood-soaked Jackie Kennedy. The outfit referenced the tragic day President John F Kennedy was assassinated, and many people thought it was in very poor taste.
She wore a pink suit with a matching pillbox hat, almost identical to the one Jackie Kennedy wore in Texas that day. The star also carried a black handbag, wore white gloves, and had on a short black wig to complete the look.
She arrived at the Cursed Amulet’s Halloween party in New York City on Thursday and later posted photos of her outfit online. Once the images hit Instagram, the reaction was quick and harsh, with fans calling it offensive and disrespectful.
Reports said the original pink outfit Jackie wore, along with her shoes, handbag, and stockings, were covered in blood after the shooting. The clothing was later preserved by the National Archives in Maryland.
According to reports, Jackie’s maid, Providencia Paredes, was the one who placed the clothing in a bag and chose not to have it cleaned. The outfit was sent in its stained condition to the National Archives before July 1964.
Julia Fox has not commented publicly about the backlash. Online, people continued debating whether it was simply a shocking Halloween statement or something that crossed a moral line.
