WHAT HAPPENED to Jacqueline Kennedy’s pink suit after the assassination of JFK? The suit, with navy trim and matching pill box hat, is one of the most famous historical fashion moments of the 20th century and perhaps all of history and First Lady Jackie Kennedy continued to wear it for the rest of the day after her husband’s death, despite the fact that it was covered in his blood. However it has not been seen publicly since she returned to the White House in the early hours the following morning. In this American history documentary from History Calling, we go back to Dallas, Texas on the 22 November 1963 and to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Using contemporary photographs and eye-witness reports, we’ll trace what happened to the suit during that day, why Jackie opted to keep it on and look at the mystery of what became of Jackie’s hat, which was removed while she was at Parkland Hospital in the hour or so after the shooting on Dealey Plaza and which has never been traced. We’ll investigate how the suit ended up in storage at the National Archives in Maryland and why it won’t be seen again by the general public until 2103 at the earliest. Kackie Kennedy’s pink suit was just one small part of the Kennedy assassination, but it continues to intrigue historians and the public to this day, with constant copies seen in movies like 2016’s Jackie, starring Natalie Portman, on fashion catwalks, in TV shows (including The Simpsons, The Crown and Scream Queens) and even in music videos, such as one by Dua Lipa.
