American actress Julia Fox has ignited a firestorm of criticism after unveiling her highly controversial Halloween costume choice - a blood-spattered recreation of Jackie Kennedy's iconic pink suit from the moments following President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
The Uncut Gems star took to social media to share images of her provocative ensemble, which featured the distinctive pink Chanel-style suit complete with simulated blood stains and brain matter, meticulously recreating the tragic scene from November 22, 1963.
Defending the Indefensible?
Fox didn't shy away from defending her controversial choice when confronted by shocked followers. "It's Halloween, guys. Relax," she fired back at critics in now-viral comments. The actress argued that her costume was meant as "artistic expression" rather than disrespect, though this justification did little to quell the growing outrage.
Public Backlash Reaches Fever Pitch
Social media platforms exploded with condemnation from historians, Kennedy family supporters, and everyday users alike. Many expressed horror at what they perceived as trivialising one of America's most traumatic historical moments.
"This isn't edgy - it's exploiting real trauma and tragedy for attention," wrote one Twitter user, capturing the sentiment of thousands who joined the conversation.
Historical preservation groups were particularly vocal, noting that the costume crosses ethical boundaries by turning a national tragedy into Halloween entertainment.
Not Her First Controversy
This isn't the first time Fox has courted controversy with her fashion choices. The actress and model has built a reputation for pushing boundaries, though many argue this latest stunt represents a new low in celebrity Halloween costumes.
As the debate continues to rage online, one thing remains clear: the line between artistic expression and historical sensitivity has never been more hotly contested in the world of celebrity fashion.
