JFK and Jackie Kennedy’s grandson condemns Julia Fox’s Halloween outfit as “dangerous statement”

JFK’s grandson criticised Julia Fox’s Jackie Kennedy-inspired Halloween look as “disgusting” and “dangerous”

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy, has criticised actress Julia Fox over her Halloween costume inspired by the former First Lady on the day of the president’s assassination.

Fox, 35, unveiled the look on Thursday, appearing in a pink suit stained with fake blood to recreate Jackie Kennedy’s appearance following the 1963 shooting in Dallas. The costume quickly went viral online, drawing both condemnation and debate.

Schlossberg reacted on Friday, writing on social media, “Julia Fox glorifying political violence is disgusting, desperate and dangerous. I’m sure her late grandmother would agree.”

In response to the criticism, Fox defended her outfit in an Instagram post, explaining it was intended as “a statement” rather than a costume. “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,’” Fox wrote.

“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 continued, “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. A woman weaponising image and grace to expose brutality. It’s about trauma, power, and how femininity itself is a form of resistance.”

Fox concluded her post with “Long live Jackie O,” adding a heart emoji.

Historians have also noted that Jackie Kennedy’s decision to remain in her bloodstained suit symbolised strength and continuity during a national tragedy.

The moment remains one of the most recognised in American history, though Fox’s interpretation has reignited debate over where artistic expression meets insensitivity.
