Jack Schlossberg accused Julia Fox of glorifying political violence after she dressed up as her late grandmother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis for Halloween.
“Julia Fox’s glorification of political violence is disgusting, desperate and dangerous,” Schlossberg wrote on X Friday.
“I’m sure her late grandmother would agree,” added Vogue’s political correspondent, 32.
On Halloween Friday, Fox revealed that she was channeling the former first lady, who was covered in blood after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, in 1963. He was 46 years old.
In a photo shared to Instagram, the Uncut Gems actress was seen wearing a blood-soaked pink tweed skirt suit, a matching pillbox hat and a navy structured handbag.
The ensemble was the same look Jackie O wore the day President Kennedy was shot.
“I’m dressed up as Jackie Kennedy in a pink suit. Not as a costume, but as a statement,” Foxx explained in the post’s caption.
“When her husband was assassinated, she refused to change out of her bloody clothes, saying, ‘Look what we’ve done.’ The image of a delicate pink suit splattered with blood is one of the most haunting contrasts in modern history,” she continued.
“Beauty and fear. Calm and desolation.”
Fox, 35, said the tragedy was a moment of courage for the former first lady, who died at age 64 on May 19, 1994 after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
“Her decision not to change her clothes, even though she was encouraged to do so, was an extraordinary act of courage,” Fox wrote. “It was a performance, a protest, a memorial. Women used image and grace as weapons to expose atrocities.”
Foxx explained to fans that her costume choices were about themes of “trauma,” “power,” and “how femininity itself is a form of resistance.”
“Long live Jackie O ♥️,” she concluded.
Foxx’s Instagram followers had mixed reactions to the controversial outfit.
“Some people will do anything to get attention, and when they find the attention undesirable, they make up statements. This is classless and disgusting, and no statement can justify it…” one critic commented on her post.
“You dress like this to attract brutal attention. And wearing clothes like this in a climate of increasing political violence glorifies female perseverance, not female perseverance. And you know it,” another source claimed.
“On her part, it was an extraordinary act of positive courage. On you, it was just attention-seeking and horribly disrespectful. Try harder,” agreed another.
A supporter wrote, “I love the historical POV you’re giving with the captions,” while a defender added, “Ok, the captions helped me. Not everyone has this kind of mindset.”
Representatives for Fox did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
