Julia Fox<\/a> isn\u2019t apologizing for dressing up as a blood-splattered Jackie Kennedy<\/a> for Halloween.<\/p>\n The Him<\/a><\/em> star and model attended Julio Torres\u2019 Cursed Amulet Halloween party in New York City on Thursday in a replica of the pink suit Jackie wore on November 22, 1963, the day the late first lady\u2019s husband, President John F. Kennedy<\/a>, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. In Fox\u2019s costume, the jacket and skirt of the suit are stained with fake blood.<\/p>\n Amid widespread criticism, Fox defended her choice of costume \u2014 or \u201cstatement,\u201d as she put it. \u201cI\u2019m dressed as Jackie Kennedy in the pink suit. Not as a costume, but as a statement,\u201d she wrote on Instagram<\/a> on Friday. \u201cWhen her husband was assassinated, she refused to change out of her blood-stained clothes, saying, \u2018I want them to see what they\u2019ve done.\u2019 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.\u201d<\/p>\n She went on: \u201cHer 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\u2019s about trauma, power, and how femininity itself is a form of resistance. Long live Jackie O.\u201d<\/p>\n But that defiant Instagram statement likely won\u2019t placate her critics, whose ranks include Jack Schlossberg, son of Caroline Kennedy and grandson of Jackie and John F. Kennedy.<\/p>\n \u201cJulia Fox glorifying political violence is disgusting, desperate, and dangerous,\u201d he wrote on X<\/a> on Friday. \u201cI\u2019m sure her late grandmother would agree.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a> \u2018American Love Story\u2019 Pic Shows JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Related<\/p>\n Another high-profile critic was Community<\/a><\/em> star Yvette Nicole Brown<\/a>. \u201cDistasteful at a level my mind can\u2019t even fathom,\u201d Brown wrote<\/a> in an Instagram comment on a video of Fox\u2019s appearance at Thursday\u2019s party. \u201cThe quote \u2018some people want to leave a mark so bad they don\u2019t care if it\u2019s a stain\u2019 comes to mind. To want fame this bad only continues to ensure that you will only ever<\/em> be infamous.\u201d<\/p>\n Fashion expert Lawrence Zarian also commented<\/a> on the post writing, \u201cWhy<\/em> would anyone do<\/em> this? Awful!\u201d<\/p>\n Other Instagram commenters concurred. \u201cNot OK!<\/em>\u201d one wrote<\/a>. \u201cHe was murdered in public. A national tragedy! Left his wife a widow [and] his children fatherless [and] this lady is making light of it?! Where has our decency gone?!\u201d<\/p>\n And someone else opined<\/a>, \u201cI think we can all agree that this is wildly inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n Read the latest entertainment news on TV Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\u2018American Love Story\u2019 Pic Shows JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette<\/a><\/h3>\n
