Grade-A provocateur Julia Fox has once again stirred up controversy with her Halloween costume, which many have deemed “disgusting and tasteless.” However, Fox has since defended her outfit choice, revealing a powerful message behind it.
The 35-year-old actress donned a replica of Jacqueline Kennedy’s blood-stained pink Chanel suit, famously worn on the day of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963. Jackie continued to wear the suit as she accompanied her husband’s body back to Washington, D.C. after the tragic event.
Fox went all out to embody Jackie Kennedy, complete with the same bouffant bob, pillbox pink hat, and white gloves that the former first lady wore on that fateful day. She attended the Wonderland Halloween party on October 30, where she confidently posed on the red carpet and even helped judge a costume contest.
Other celebrities at the event included Demi Lovato, who dressed as her Poot meme, Blackpink’s Lisa as Jibaro covered in gold, and Keke Palmer as a Snoop Dogg look-alike.
After images and videos of her costume went viral, Fox took to Instagram to explain her controversial choice. She clarified that the outfit was not meant as a costume but as a statement, citing Jackie Kennedy’s refusal to change out of her blood-stained clothes as an act of bravery and protest.
Despite Fox’s explanation, some fans were still deeply offended by her costume, calling it disrespectful and attention-seeking. However, others praised her for shedding light on the bravery and power behind Jackie Kennedy’s actions.
Since her high-profile relationship with Kanye West in early 2022, Fox has capitalized on her newfound fame through bold fashion choices and candid insights into her life. Despite facing criticism, she remains unapologetic about her choices and continues to push boundaries in the entertainment industry.
