Julia Fox, known for her penchant for stirring the pot, has landed in hot water once again. This time, her choice of Halloween costume has left many fans unsettled.
Attending The Cursed Amulet’s Halloween bash in New York City, the Uncut Gems actress opted for a bold and controversial look. Fox dressed as former First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis, replicating the iconic attire Jackie wore on the tragic day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
The ensemble was unmistakably a nod to the historical outfit—a double-breasted pink suit that Jackie donned during the ill-fated 1963 presidential motorcade, where JFK was shot and killed beside her.
What really turned heads was Fox’s macabre twist on the outfit: she adorned the pink suit and pillbox hat with fake bloodstains.
In a moment etched in history, Jackie Kennedy famously elected to remain in her blood-stained suit, reportedly telling aides, “No. Let them see what they’ve done to Jack.”
This haunting image has since become one of the most enduring symbols of an American tragedy.
Fans had that moment in mind as they scrolled through online photos of Julia grinning and posing confidently in the costume, seemingly unfazed by the controversy.

If that wasn’t shocking enough, the 34-year-old added a gruesome twist: fake blood splattered across her pink suit and pillbox hat
The outfit was instantly recognizable — the same double-breasted pink ensemble Jackie wore during the 1963 presidential motorcade when JFK was fatally shot beside her; (Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Jacqueline Kennedy, and President John F. Kennedy at a breakfast in Ft. Worth, Texas, on the morning the president was assassinated, November 22, 1963)
And they didn’t hold back.
‘So tasteless. Tragedy is not a costume,’ one critic wrote, while another added, ‘Too disrespectful to me.’
‘This is NOT okay. Sorry to the Onassis and Kennedy families for having to see and relive this,’ another chimed in.
‘Wow. I gasped. So inappropriate,’ one user said, while another echoed, ‘This is very disrespectful and crass.’
Yet another posted, ‘How disrespectful and distasteful, but what else can you expect from this person.’
The controversial grandson of JFK, Jack Schlossberg, lambasted Fox on X, writing: ‘Julia Fox glorifying political violence is disgusting, desperate and dangerous. I’m sure her late grandmother would agree.’
Fox later doubled down on her look, writing on Instagram: ‘I’m dressed as Jackie Kennedy in the pink suit. Not as a costume, but as a statement. 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. 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
The outrage centers around one of the most famous garments in U.S. history.
Jackie’s pink Chanel-inspired suit — designed by Oleg Cassini — was never cleaned after the assassination and remains stained with JFK’s blood.
Jackie’s maid, Providencia Paredes, reportedly placed the suit in a bag when the First Lady returned to the White House after the tragedy.

It’s now preserved by the National Archives in Maryland, locked away from public view until 2103.
The tragic story behind the iconic suit was revisited in the 2023 documentary JFK: One Day in America, where Clint Hill — the Secret Service agent assigned to Jackie — recalled the horrifying moments that followed the gunfire in Dallas.
‘I jumped to the rear bumper. Mrs. Kennedy was screaming, ‘I love Jack.’ I wasn’t fast enough,’ he said.
Jackie’s pink suit became soaked in her husband’s blood as she cradled his body in the backseat of the car.
Former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson later described the harrowing scene in her diary, as cited by PBS: ‘As we ground to a halt — we were still the third car — Secret Service men began to pull, lead, guide, and hustle us out.
‘I cast one last look over my shoulder and saw in the president’s car a bundle of pink, just like a drift of blossoms, lying in the back seat. It was Mrs. Kennedy lying over the president’s body.’
At Parkland Memorial Hospital, Jackie was offered clean clothes but refused to change, choosing only to wash her face.
‘One second later, I thought, “Why did I wash the blood off [my face]?’ I should have left it there; let them see what they’ve done,’ Jackie later told Life magazine.

This isn’t the first time Fox has stirred up headlines with her wild wardrobe choices.
From her infamous condom dress to the bra-and-panty set crafted entirely from dried leaves she found on the streets of New York, the star has made a name for herself as fashion’s fearless provocateur.
As she once declared on TikTok, ‘Anything can be clothes.’
And when critics have told her to tone it down, Fox told The Cut she’s never been one to play it safe.
‘F*** that narrative if I want to pop out and wear crazy s*** — which is what I want to wear.’
