Jackie Kennedy had a huge influence on 60’s fashion. As the First Lady, she had all eyes on her, which turned her into a fashion icon. She wore and popularized many of the styles back then, such as structured pieces and the pillbox hat. Today Jackie still remains a top fashion icon and inspiration.

Jacqueline Kennedy wears her pink Chanel suit, still stained with the blood of her husband, as Lyndon Johnson takes the oath of office in Air Force One.

According to Lady Bird Johnson, who was also present:

“Her hair [was] falling in her face but [she was] very composed … I looked at her. Mrs. Kennedy’s dress was stained with blood. One leg was almost entirely covered with it and her right glove was caked, it was caked with blood – her husband’s blood. Somehow that was one of the most poignant sights – that immaculate woman, exquisitely dressed, and caked in blood.”
