\n\tJulia Fox<\/a> has received criticism for attending a Halloween party dressed as former First Lady Jackie Kennedy<\/a> Onassis on the day of her husband, President John F. Kennedy<\/a>\u2018s assassination. The \u201cUncut Gems\u201d and \u201cHim\u201d actress appeared at the New York City gathering on Oct. 30, donned in a replica of the First Lady\u2019s infamous pink suit splattered with fake blood stains. In an Instagram post made the following morning, she posited, \u201cI\u2019m dressed as Jackie Kennedy in the pink suit. Not as a costume, but as a statement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOnassis was wearing the pink outfit on Nov. 22, 1963, riding beside her husband in a Dallas parade when he was shot. Images of Onassis crawling over the car with her husband\u2019s blood soaking into her elegant attire have become harrowing relics of history. More notoriously, Onassis refused to change out of her clothes when standing next to Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson during his swearing-in ceremony on Air Force One. She reportedly stated, \u201cNo, let them see what they\u2019ve done to Jack.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn her post, Fox says, \u201cThe 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.\u201d She praises the First Lady\u2019s decision to stay in the same clothes as \u201can act of extraordinary bravery. It was performance, protest, and mourning all at once. A woman weaponizing image and grace to expose brutality. It\u2019s about trauma, power, and how femininity itself is a form of resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNot everyone saw Fox\u2019s outfit as a tasteful tribute, though. She received backlash for the controversial costume from many critics online, including Kennedy and Onassis\u2019 grandson, Jack Schlossberg<\/a>. Schlossberg wrote on Twitter, \u201cJulia Fox glorifying political violence is disgusting, desperate and dangerous. I\u2019m sure her late grandmother would agree.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe real pink suit resides in the National Archives outside of Washington, D.C. It is being kept from public display until the year 2103, a century after it, along with Onassis\u2019 other personal effects from the day of her husband\u2019s death, were donated to the Archives. Onassis passed away in 1994.<\/p>\n
