The first time I ever saw her was on tv. I was sitting on the couch surfing channels when I stop at a documentary all about JFK Jr. And there she was. One of the most influential 'it girls' with her long blonde hair and blue eyes, of the 90's. She was married to one of the most handsome men alive (the headline featuring the fact that the worlds most eligible bachelor had been taken had every girl sighing in sadness). She was Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her modern and modest style forever remains a legacy. Some called her a reluctant muse, the private princess, purely based on her shy behaviour and quiet life, but with paparazzi bombarding her and John, pictures of her and her outfits started a thousand trends - every woman wanted to be HER.
The secret wedding - the slip dress - the simplicity. Oh, how the world went wild.
It was obvious that her street style was daring at times - white pants, white sneakers, an oversized jacket - yet delicate - flowing dresses,
white tops, and heels, accompanied by her luscious blond locks - all accentuating her refreshing, unconventional beauty.
So, she'll forever remain an eternal style icon from her early days as a publicist for Calvin Klein, to her rise of fame following her relationship and marriage to JFK Jr, Carolyn set the movement and legacy and all that we love and admire about '90s fashion, much like her mother-in-law Jackie O, the ultimate example of classic New York style.
