The look mirrored the outfit the former first lady wore when her husband, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated.

"The image of the delicate pink suit splattered with blood is one of the most haunting juxtapositions in modern history," she added. "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" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Julia Fox (@juliafox) Mindy Kaling Mindy Kaling thanked Kate Hudson "for inventing yellow" in her 2025 Halloween Instagram post, where she dressed up as Hudson's character from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
