Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's Style

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s status as a ‘90s style icon has been long cemented, but the FX show “Love Story” has brought a renewed interest into her effortless aesthetic. The core of the Calvin Klein publicist-turned-American royalty’s minimalist wardrobe is anchored in classics like denim, crisp shirting, fitted knitwear, tailored outerwear and sleek evening dresses. Mostly rooted in neutral colors (with the occasion pop of leopard print), these pair back to each other to create a versatile capsule wardrobe and signature uniform. Accessories also lean towards timeless styles, such as her favorite Manolo Blahnik pumps, plus Hermès and Prada handbags, proving once again that these are investment-worthy pieces. Her instantly recognizable acetate headbands and oval sunglasses also feel nostalgic yet very of-the-moment decades later. From the aforementioned designers that CBK actually wore to current brands that we surmise she would have frequented present-day (à la Toteme, The Row and Heirlome), shop the pieces to recreate Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s style below.
