Jackie Kennedy
Camelot's grieving widow
Jackie Kennedy is the familiar name for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, First Lady of the United States during the Kennedy administration (1961–1963).
She became an iconic figure of elegance and style, and her composure during her husband's assassination and funeral shaped American memory of that era.
Her signature look—pillbox hat, pearls, tailored suits—influenced fashion for decades: She dressed like Jackie Kennedy for the costume party.
