Long blonde hair, an iconic red lip, and effortless styleall signatures of fashion icon Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Carolyn used fashion as her medium. She hadnt found her voice yet in front of the camera as Mrs. Kennedy, so she let her fashion speak to the world for her. With her attention to detail, strict color palette, and unique, unidentifiable looks with the brand labels deliberately removed, she was the essence of classno label would ever define her. She didnt choose to abide by the typical patrician standard expected from a woman of her position who had married into a family dynasty; instead, she did the unexpected and wore her revolutionary clothes with aplomb, confidence, and grace.
