Julia Fox’s Halloween costume was inspired by former First Lady Jackie Kennedy in the aftermath of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
The actress and model, 35, wore a pink suit and matching pillbox hat reminiscent of the double-breasted outfit Jackie Kennedy famously wore on Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. She completed the look with white gloves, a short black wig, and a black handbag, all accented with red “blood” stains.
Fox debuted the costume at “The Cursed Amulet” Halloween party in New York City on Thursday, Oct. 30, and later shared photos on her Instagram Stories.

Many online critics criticized the costume choice as inappropriate. Several social media users called the outfit “tasteless,” with one commenting, “This isn’t a costume. It’s making fun of a horrific day in history.” Another wrote that it was “attention seeking in the ugliest possible way.”
Just because you CAN , doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Tacky and classless and in very poor taste

The timing of Fox’s look adds another layer of controversy, coming weeks before the 62nd anniversary of JFK’s assassination. President Kennedy, 46, was fatally shot while riding in an open motorcade with the First Lady.

Fox, known for her avant-garde and provocative fashion statements, often uses style as a form of artistic expression. From her headline-making low-rise leather looks to bold runway appearances, the “Uncut Gems” actress has built a reputation for pushing boundaries, and this Halloween costume proved no exception.
