JFK Grandson Criticizes Julia Fox's Bloody Jackie Kennedy Costume

Julia Fox faced significant backlash after attending a Halloween party dressed in a replica of Jackie Kennedy's iconic pink suit, stained with fake blood to evoke the day of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Jack Schlossberg, JFK and Jackie Kennedy's grandson, publicly condemned Fox's costume as "disgusting, desperate and dangerous," accusing her of glorifying political violence and expressing certainty that his late grandmother would disapprove. In response, Fox clarified on Instagram that her attire was not merely a costume but a performance art statement highlighting trauma, grief, and resilience, emphasizing Jackie Kennedy's refusal to change out of her blood-stained clothes as an act of strength and protest. Fox described her look as symbolizing "beauty and horror, poise and devastation," aiming to honor Jackie Kennedy's bravery and the power of femininity as resistance. While the costume sparked widespread controversy and debate about respect and artistic expression, Fox maintained her intent was to provoke thought about how trauma and power are processed and represented visually. The incident underscores ongoing tensions between artistic freedom and sensitivity to historical tragedy, especially within families directly affected by such events.
