Julia Fox Faces Backlash Over Shocking Halloween Look
Julia Fox is no stranger to controversy, but her Halloween costume this year has people talking for all the wrong reasons.
The HIM actress and model dressed as a blood-soaked version of Jackie Kennedy on the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
And yes, it’s exactly as unsettling as it sounds.
Wearing a pink suit, pillbox hat, white gloves, and a black handbag to mimic the late First Lady’s iconic look from November 22, 1963, Fox showed up to The Cursed Amulet’s Halloween party in New York City.
She even shared photos of the costume on her Instagram Stories, seemingly unfazed by how disturbing it might come across.
The Historical Weight Of Jackie Kennedy’s Pink Suit
For context, Jackie’s real pink suit—now preserved at the National Archives—was never cleaned after JFK’s assassination.
According to The New York Times, her maid, Providencia Paredes, placed the bloodstained clothing in a bag, per Jackie’s wishes, and sent it to the archives in its original condition.
The outfit became a haunting symbol of grief, strength, and American history.
When you realize Fox recreated that specific moment, it’s easy to understand why the internet collectively said, “Girl, no.”
Social Media Reacts To Julia Fox’s Costume
Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok users quickly lit up with criticism, calling the look “vile,” “grossly insensitive,” and “beyond tone-deaf.”
Actress Yvette Nicole Brown summed up the public sentiment perfectly, writing:
Distasteful at a level my mind can’t even fathom.
The quote ‘some people want to leave a mark so bad they don’t care if it’s a stain’ comes to mind.
To want fame this bad only ensures that you will only EVER be infamous.

My thoughts were: “The trash just keeps falling out of the garbage can. This is why y’all can’t make everyone famous.”
Julia Fox Releases Statement
Julia Fox took to her official Instagram account and released the following statement:
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 ♥️

Was this costume artistic expression gone too far or just plain offensive?
