15 Times Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Slayed The Fashion Scene

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was most notably the First Lady of the United States from 1960 to 1963. She was also a mother, photographer, a publisher, and a renowned fashion icon until her death in 1994. The legacy she leaves behind is one of history, writing, poetry, photography, and fashion which is fitting considering her love for the arts. Her grace, elegance and poise lives on through fashion and is still recognized today.

1. When she looked flawless with her signature sunglasses and her Yves Saint Laurent coat,


Fun Fact: she is responsible for the big sunglasses trend that goes in and out of style every ten years or so.

2. When she was pretty in pastels


The perfect dress for Spring or Easter Sunday. Plus, a shift dress is always appropriate.

3. When she took the perfect selfie with her husband and sister-in-law,


You wish you dressed that stylishly in the summer. Nope, instead it's just norts and a frat tank. (Don't worry I'm guilty of that too)

4. When she wore Lilly Pulitzer and Jack Rogers,


2 Fun Facts: 1) Jackie went to school with Lilly Pulitzer so that's the prime example of why you should be nice to everyone even when you're a grumpy teen filled with angst and 2) she popularized both brands so sorority girls everywhere need to thank her.

5. When she looked perfect sailing the ocean blue in navy


Navy never looked so good.

6. When she donned her one of her famous most famous dresses, the Oleg Cassini peach dress


If anyone else wore that color, it would completely wash them out.

7. When she proved that pearls never go out of style


"Pearls are always appropriate" = literal quote from Jackie herself. And she isn't wrong.

8. When she proved that this color always looks good


This lilac/lavender color needs to make a comeback as soon as possible.

9. When she looked a straight-up goddess on her wedding day in 1953


Her off-the-shoulder dress was designed by Ann Lowe.

10. When she proved (time and time again) that she's more than just a pretty face

In the late 1970s, she worked at a publishing company and was probably the best-dressed in that office.

11. When she avoided the horrible bell-bottoms of the 70s and opted for this adorable outfit instead,


Dress like Jackie Kennedy at your next theme party – not Jackie Burkhart from That 70's Show

12. When she was the most stylish tourist to ever visit the Taj Mahal

Much better than every outfit that I wore when I was abroad.

13. When she was the only person to ever look good in a pill box hat

That hat style just worked for her, and she knew that.

14. When she wore normal clothes just like all of us would wore and she still killed it

Tell me that you don't own a shirt (or several) like this.

15. And finally, when she flawlessly and amazingly successfully sat on a camel in a gorgeous pink frock

Like, honestly, how does one do this while still looking ladylike?

Though she is remembered for a lot more than her impeccable style, her fashion trends will never go out of style and will always be relevant.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
