Julia Fox Defends Her Bloody Jackie Kennedy Costume

Julia Fox is defending her controversial 2025 Halloween costume.

 For a Halloween party in New York City on October 30, Fox dressed as Jackie Kennedy in a blood-stained pink outfit, the same one the former First Lady wore on the day her husband, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated.

The look received a lot of backlash online, with some social media users calling it "disrespectful."

On Instagram, Fox explained why she choose this 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.”
