Jack Schlossberg is disappointed with how Julia Fox chose to celebrate Halloween.
The 32-year-old grandson of President John F. Kennedy criticized Fox, 35, after she attended a party on Oct. 30 wearing a blood-splattered costume of former first lady Jackie Kennedy in the aftermath of her husband’s assassination.
Fox donned a replica of the famous pink Chanel suit Jackie wore on Nov. 22, 1963 — the day Lee Harvey Oswald fatally shot JFK while he and his wife were riding in a motorcade through Dallas.
“Julia Fox glorifying political violence is disgusting, desperate and dangerous,” Schlossberg reacted in a Friday, Oct. 31, post on X. “I’m sure her late grandmother would agree.”

Schlossberg’s remark was posted one minute before Fox shared more context about her costume choice in a lengthy Instagram post.
“I’m dressed as Jackie Kennedy in the pink suit. Not as a costume, but as a statement,” Fox wrote.
“When her husband was assassinated, she refused to change out of her blood-stained clothes, saying, ‘I want them to see what they’ve done.’ The image of the delicate pink suit splattered with blood is one of the most haunting juxtapositions in modern history,” she continued. “Beauty and horror. Poise and devastation.”
“Her decision not to change clothes, even after being encouraged to, was an act of extraordinary bravery,” Fox said. “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. Long live Jackie O ♥️”
As Fox noted, Jackie did stay in the suit following her husband’s assassination, even after she was presented another option to wear. The former first lady was photographed in the outfit next to incoming President Lyndon B. Johnson right after JFK’s death.
“They actually had another dress laid out for her to put on and she refused,” historian Steve Gillon told PEOPLE in November 2022.
“She went out in her blood-stained suit and stood next to Lyndon Johnson. Despite these horrible circumstances, she was willing to stand for a photo because she understood what it meant for the nation to have continuity in government,” Gillon said.
The dress was never cleaned after the president’s death, and was eventually sent to the National Archives — still bloody— around July 1964. The dress remains there this day.

Schlossberg recently defended his late grandmother in response to President Donald Trump‘s plan to demolish parts of the historic Rose Garden beside the West Wing and the namesake Jacqueline Kennedy Garden beside the East Wing.
After Trump altered the Kennedy-era gardens as part of his plans to create a new patio space and $300 million ballroom, Schlossberg spoke out on Instagram.
“My grandmother saw America in full color — Trump sees black and white,” he said. “Where she planted flowers, he poured concrete.”
“She brought life to the White House, because our landmarks should inspire and grow with our country,” he continued. “Her Rose Garden is gone, but the spirit of the Kennedy White House lives on — in the young at heart, the strong in spirit, and in a new generation answering the call to service.”
He concluded, “A year from now, we’ll get our last chance to stop Trump. History is watching. We need leaders with courage, conviction and who actually care.”
