Julia Fox is defending her controversial 2025 Halloween costume.
For an Oct. 30 Halloween party in New York City, Fox dressed up as Jackie Kennedy in a blood-soaked pink ensemble, re-creating what the former first lady wore the day her husband, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated.
The look elicited many strong reactions online, with some social media users calling it “disrespectful.”
On Instagram, Fox revealed why she chose the look for Halloween.
“I’m dressed as Jackie Kennedy in the pink suit. Not as a costume, but as a statement,” she said. “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.’ 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. Her decision not to change clothes, even after being encouraged to, was an act of extraordinary bravery,” Fox continued. “It was performance, protest, and mourning all at once. A 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 ♥️.”
Fox wore the outfit at the annual Cursed Amulet Halloween party in New York City.
Jack Schlossberg, Jackie Kennedy’s grandson, reacted to Fox’s costume on X on Oct. 31, writing, “Julia Fox glorifying political violence is disgusting, desperate and dangerous. I’m sure her late grandmother would agree.”
On TikTok, some users called the look “distasteful.”
“That CAN’T be ethical,” one user commented.
“This feels so wrong,” another wrote.
In the comments section of Fox’s post, some praised her explanation, while others still referred to the look as “problematic.”
According to The New York Times, Jackie Kennedy, who died in 1994, refused to change out of her blood-stained suit after her husband’s assassination on Nov. 22, 1963. She kept the outfit on when Lyndon B. Johnson, Kennedy’s vice president, was sworn in as head of state later that day.
The National Archives has kept the pink suit preserved in a climate-controlled vault outside of Washington, per The New York Times.
The suit won’t be available for public viewing until the year 2103 as to not “dishonor the memory of Mrs. Kennedy or President Kennedy, or cause any grief or suffering to members of their family,” according to a deed of the suit from when it was gifted to the National Archives.

At all.
Very.
Which pretty much sums up our postmodern post-Christian culture these days.
Just another useless celebritard.
These people are total assholes. I don’t know who this ignorant broad is or what she does for a living, but obviously being intelligent and having even a modicum of common sense is necessary.
Isn’t necessary
She didn’t write that.To sick person who arranged the costume “Go to Heck”
Disgusting slut.
“Julia Fox has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), which was diagnosed when she was 16”
She has claimed to have bipolar disorder,[ obsessive–compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, postpartum depression and that she is autistic.
Exactly!
Most are depraved!
I suspect “they” had threatened the offspring of latter generations. The Kennedy family had a lot of mental illness and drug overdose. I wonder how much was inflicted versus self-inflicted?
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
If she has to give a long and intricate defense of why her choice of costume was right, then it was the wrong choice. No one seeing it would have come up with that on their own. It is offensive and she meant it to be offensive.
It reminds me of the the rubber masks of Lincoln and JFK with bullets holes in the back of the heads that I once saw in a Halloween store. No one would choose those masks as a kind of salute to the assassinated presidents. They would choose them for the shock value and offensiveness; maybe even the “humor”. To their credit, I guess, the mask maker did not make the JFK mask with the back of the head blown away.
Ever see “The House of Yes”?

This, those teachers in Arizona with bloody Charlie Kirk shirts. Trump may be able to do some things in trade, economics, the border, etc... but this problem is beyond anyone’s capability to fix.
There is a large, violent, psychotic lunatic group out there that isn’t going anywhere and cannot be fixed.
Never heard of her, but that is really in poor taste.
All of that is disgusting and reprehensible.
