And Kennedy's Chanel suit wasn't just a fashion statement; it was everything. This pic shows her and husband John F. Kennedy arriving at Dallas' airport shortly before he was shot and killed, his blood splattering on Jackie's suit.
She refused to change, famously saying, "Oh no ... I want them to see what they have done to Jack." She wore it when Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in and didn't remove it until she was back at the White House. Strong and powerful indeed.
