'Makes you look evil': Julia Fox slammed for blood-stained Jackie Kennedy Halloween costume

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Actress Julia Fox sparked online backlash when she attended ‘The Cursed Amulet’s Halloween party dressed as former First Lady Jackie Kennedy in a blood-stained pink suit. 

The outfit closely mirrored the one Kennedy wore on the day former President John F Kennedy was killed. At the Thursday, October 30 event, Fox wore a pink wool suit marked with red stains, a pillbox hat, white gloves, a black handbag, and a short black wig, referencing Kennedy’s iconic look on November 22, 1963. 

Jackie Kennedy’s grandson Jack Schlossberg criticizes Julia Fox’s Halloween costume

Julia Fox’s Halloween costume as Jackie Kennedy has raised eyebrows online, as she recreated the outfit Jackie wore after her husband, JFK, was shot. Notably, Jackie was wearing the Chanel suit on November 22, 1963, the day Lee Harvey Oswald fatally shot JFK while he was riding in a motorcade in Dallas.

Jackie Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, took to X to criticize Fox, writing, “Julia Fox glorifying political violence is disgusting, desperate, and dangerous. I’m sure her late grandmother would agree.”

Social media users did not mince words in expressing their scathing reactions, with many declaring the costume offensive.

One commenter said, "Julia Fox's Halloween costume saw her dress as a blood-soaked Jackie Kennedy 😱🩸 This isn’t bold. It’s sick. It’s the rotted culture the Left celebrates! Zero class, zero reverence, zero soul 😡" 

Another frustrated commenter said, "Julia Fox turning one of America's most traumatic moments into a Halloween costume shows how disconnected celebrities are from basic human decency. Absolutely wild." 

One more commenter said, "This was such poor taste and unfortunately she got the attention she wanted"

A comment read, "Julia Fox is gross for this costume. I will never celebrate women making light of another woman's tragedy.."

A social media user slammed, "Julia Fox can try to spin this anyway she wants,but this is the most disrespectful tasteless thing I have seen."

An enraged user tweeted, "Hey, @Juliafox This only makes you look like an awful, evil, classless person. Shameful."

Julia Fox defends wearing blood stained Jackie O Halloween costume

Following the backlash, Julia Fox addressed the controversy on Instagram, defending her Jackie Kennedy Halloween costume. The host of the canceled show 'OMG Fashun', who wore the pink suit with bloodstains, explained her reasoning behind it.

She wrote on Instagram, “I’m dressed as Jackie Kennedy in the pink suit.” She elaborated, “Not as a costume, but as a statement. When her husband was assassinated, she refused to change out of her blood-stained clothes, saying, ‘I want them to see what they’ve done.’”

She continued, “The image of the delicate pink suit splattered with blood is one of the most haunting juxtapositions in modern history. Beauty and horror. Poise and devastation.” She added, “Her decision not to change clothes, even after being encouraged to, was an act of extraordinary bravery. It was performance, protest, and mourning all at once.”

Before concluding her post, she wrote, “Woman weaponizing image and grace to expose brutality. It’s about trauma, power, and how femininity itself is a form of resistance. Long live Jackie O.”

It is worth noting that the National Archives in Maryland preserved Jackie’s blood-stained pink Chanel-style suit without washing it. Julia Fox wore her look just weeks before the 62nd anniversary of JFK’s death.
