First Lady Jackie Kennedy wore this pink suit to Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. While it may or may not be an actual Chanel, Jackie’s suit was one of President Kennedy’s favorites. On the way home from Dallas, Mrs. Kennedy refused to change clothes, reportedly saying, “I want them to see what they have done to Jack.” After the assassination, the suit was later given to Jackie’s mother, Janet Auchincloss. The suit was later given to the National Archives in Maryland, never cleaned. In 2003, Caroline Kennedy deeded her mother’s suit to the Smithsonian on the condition that the suit never be shown in public for at least one hundred years, in 2103. Even then, the Kennedy family will still hold the right to keep the suit, which holds tragic memories for many, kept safely away in a temperature controlled room. The only mystery revolving around the suit is that Jackie’s pillbox hat was never found. Jackie was photographed on other occasions wearing the same suit prior to Dallas, or wearing one very similar to it.

“There’d been the biggest motorcade from the airport. Hot. Wild. Like Mexico and Vienna. The sun was so strong in our faces. I couldn’t put on sunglasses…Then we saw this tunnel ahead, I thought it would be cool in the tunnel, I thought if you were on the left the sun wouldn’t get into your eyes…”

— Jackie Kennedy recalls November 22, 1963 in the “Camelot” interview with Theodore H. White for Life Magazine, November 29, 1963.
