On October 30, Fox, known for her bold fashion choices, appeared at a Halloween party in New York wearing a pink costume covered in bloodstains. This outfit resembles the one worn by Jacqueline Kennedy in 1963 during a trip to Dallas when the tragedy occurred.
Online, the costume sparked a storm of outrage and criticism, with many users deeming the act unethical and immoral towards the former first lady.
However, Julia Fox stated that her intention was not to shock the public but to express respect for Jackie Kennedy and her "incredible bravery" in the face of "unimaginable cruelty." The actress recounted that Jacqueline refused to change her clothes after the tragedy, saying, "I want them to see what they’ve done." Fox believes that this image combines beauty and horror, resilience and destruction, and serves as a symbol of resistance against cruelty.
Historical items, including the outfit worn by Jacqueline Kennedy, are preserved in the National Archives in Maryland under ideal conditions. The Kennedy family confirmed that this outfit will not be available for exhibitions until 2103.
