Jackie Kennedy’s grandson Jack Schlossberg has thoughts about Julia Fox paying homage to his late grandmother with a gory Halloween costume.
“Julia Fox glorifying political violence is disgusting, desperate and dangerous,” Schlossberg, 32, wrote via X on Friday, October 31. “I’m sure her late grandmother would agree.”
Jack is the only son of Caroline Kennedy and her husband, Edwin Schlossberg, who also share two daughters. Caroline’s parents were Jackie and former president John F. Kennedy.
Fox, 35, had paid what she claimed was a tribute to Jackie with her 2025 Halloween costume, dressing in a pink tweed suit that was covered in fake blood. Her outfit was reminiscent of the ensemble that Jackie wore when John was assassinated in 1963. (Jackie later died in May 1994.)
Fox’s costume soon sparked backlash, with some social media users arguing that the actress was glorifying John’s death, though she later defended her outfit choice.
“I’m dressed as Jackie Kennedy in the pink suit. Not as a costume, but as a statement,” Fox wrote via Instagram on Friday. “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.”
She continued, “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.”
As for Jack, he has tirelessly worked to uphold his late grandparents’ legacy through the years.
“I’ve always felt super lucky that there’s this massive historical record about my family that I can learn from. A lot of people don’t get to have that kind of relationship with their ancestors,” Jack told Vogue in a July 2024 interview. “I’m so lucky for it, and so I try to learn as much as I can from them. I think my grandpa’s speeches are the coolest things ever. His administration actually did so much that’s still with us today, and he inspired a whole generation of people to enter public service — and still does.”
Jack further called John, who died at age 46 and never met his grandchildren, his “hero.”
“The first thing I ever got really nerdy about was him, his speeches and his administration,” Jack told the outlet. “It’s a blueprint for how progressivism can work in America and how America can lead the world in a positive, optimistic, science-driven way. As I’ve grown up, I’ve become more involved in the official obligations that come with being part of my family.”
Jack also revealed that his family’s legacy is to “try to stay positive about government” despite the partisanship and divisive political climate.
“I try to stay positive, and for some reason, these days, that’s a unique perspective,” he said. “To me, if you’re going to talk about stuff, it’s a responsibility to try to make it a little bit better.”
