Julia Fox Dresses as Blood-Soaked First Lady Jackie Kennedy After JFK Assassination for Halloween

Julia Fox dressed as a blood-soaked Jackie Kennedy on the day of her husband President John F. Kennedy’s assassination for Halloween.

The actress and model, 35, sported a pink suit and a matching pillbox hat, similar to the double-breasted wool suit the then-first lady was wearing on Nov. 22, 1963, when JFK was assassinated while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas.

Fox also wore white gloves like Kennedy, who died in 1994 at the age of 64, while carrying a black handbag and sporting a short black wig.

The Him actress wore the look while attending The Cursed Amulet’s Halloween party in New York City on Thursday, Oct. 30. She also shared photos of her costume on her Instagram Stories.

According to The New York Times, Jackie's pink suit, her shoes, handbag and stockings were reportedly "blood-covered and folded in a towel” following the fatal shooting. 

The items are preserved at the National Archives and Records Administration’s facility in College Park, Maryland. According to the Los Angeles Times, Jackie’s maid, Providencia Paredes, placed the outfit in a bag, but did not have it cleaned, following the shooting. It was sent in its bloodied condition to the National Archives sometime before July 1964.

Jackie was photographed in the outfit next to Lyndon B. Johnson in the immediate aftermath of JFK's death. Johnson, who was then vice president, became president following Kennedy's death.

"They actually had another dress laid out for her to put on and she refused," historian Steve Gillon told PEOPLE in November 2022.

"She went out in her blood-stained suit and stood next to Lyndon Johnson. Despite these horrible circumstances, she was willing to stand for a photo because she understood what it meant for the nation to have continuity in government," he said. "She understood that she had a role to play in helping the nation transition to a new president."

Jackie had worn the two-piece at least six times before the day of her husband's assassination,  according to The New York Times. The suit was reportedly an approved Chanel copy.

Fox’s Halloween look came just weeks before the 62nd anniversary of JFK’s assassination. JFK, who was 46 at the time, was fatally shot while riding in the back of an open-topped limousine alongside his wife.

In her diary, Lady Bird Johnson, wife of Lyndon B. Johnson, described how Jackie covered her husband's body with her own.

"As we ground to a halt — we were still the third car … 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," she wrote, adding, "It was Mrs. Kennedy lying over the President's body."

"Mrs. Kennedy's dress was stained with blood," Lady wrote. "One leg was almost entirely covered with it and her right glove was caked, it was caked with blood — her husband's blood."
