Julia Fox has never been one to shy away from controversy but this time, fans say she’s gone too far, Daily Mail reports.
According to the report by Daily Mail, the Uncut Gems star Julia Fox sparked outrage after stepping out at The Cursed Amulet’s Halloween party in New York City on Thursday night dressed as former First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis — recreating the look she wore on the day of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas, Texas.
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.
If that wasn’t shocking enough, the 34-year-old Julia Fox added a gruesome twist: fake blood splattered across her pink suit and pillbox hat.
As history remembers, the First Lady famously refused to change out of the bloodstained suit — a chilling image that’s since become one of the most unforgettable symbols of 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
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 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.’
