Jacqueline Kennedy (later Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis) or "Jackie" as she was often known, was a style icon for the ages. Her engagement to then-Senator John F. Kennedy Jr. first made the public aware of her. When she became First Lady in 1960, millions fell in love with her classic-but-modern style, and she had an enormous impact on '60s fashion trends.
Jackie's style inspiration was Audrey Hepburn, which makes sense when you consider her focus on clean lines, classic shapes, and small, delicate jewelry. She wore a wealth of iconic designers, including Oleg Cassini, Chanel, Christian Dior, Halston, and Givenchy, as well as accessories from Cartier, Gucci, and Tiffany & Co. Over the years, she moved beyond the pillbox hats, dresses, and big bouffants: she embraced patterns, pants, textures, and of course, enormous sunglasses that became integral part of her signature style. Below, we look back at a few of Jackie Kennedy's best outfits ever.
