J.F.K and Jackie Kennedy

celebrity couples

It was 1961, and the newly-elected Kennedy’s had charmed the world. With Jackie’s breathy-sexy voice, social power, and killer sense of style, she brought chicinto the White House for the first time (Michelle has her to thank for the Vogue covers and designer attention). Meanwhile, JFK’s youthful energy, Bostonian-Irish “chahhm,” and dashing good looks made him the first pinup president. Perfection! And then came 1963, when he was fatally shot in a Dallas motorcade. The vision of JFK falling into his wife’s arms — and she, so stunned in a bloodied pink Chanel suit — was burned into America’s consciousness forever. Jackie became our beloved Widowed Queen, a national treasure. Until, of course, she married super-gnarly oil tycoon, Ari Onassis, six years later – but that’s a different post.
