Turban Tuesday has been preempted to bring you this special edition — Pillbox Hat Tuesday, marking the 48th anniversary of the murder of President Kennedy.
Here’s Jack and Jackie, arriving at Love Field in Dallas on that fateful day, November 22, 1963.
Jackie’s pink suit was made in 1961 by the New York dress salon, Chez Ninon. It was a copy of a Chanel pink boucle wool suit trimmed with a navy blue collar. The pillbox hat was designed by Oleg Cassini, and outsourced to be constructed by Marita at Bergdorf Goodman.
By request of Caroline Kennedy, Jackie’s Dallas outfit won’t be on public display until 2103. It is being stored by the National Archives and Records Administration in a dark, windowless, temperature-controlled bunker at the agency’s complex in Maryland. It was never washed and is still bloodstained.
No one seems to know what became of the pillbox hat. According to a Secret Service agent, it was last known to be in the hands of Jackie’s personal secretary, Mary Barelli Gallagher, who won’t discuss it.

Are you ready for the next Roaring Twenties?
President Kennedy was killed 48 years ago, November 22, 1963. Here’s Jack losing his temper over… well, just listen. It’s a side of JFK you’ve likely never heard.
Marvin Gaye… gone too soon. The most moving rendition of the National Anthem, ever.
Joni Mitchell… timeless.

Caroline Kennedy, 53, as she appeared Friday at a panel discussion of her mother Jacqueline Kennedy’s recorded interviews and her father’s legacy, as seen at George Washington University yesterday in Washington, DC.
Caroline’s son, John “Jack” Schlossberg, 18, was photographed in May at the Kennedy Library in Boston during a ceremony to announce the name of the US Navy aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy.
The photo of his grandfather behind him was taken when JFK was a Navy Lieutenant in roughly 1942, at age 26.

Joan Kennedy, who turned 75 on Sept. 9th, with her bereaved grandchildren, Max Greathouse Allen, 14, and Grace Kennedy Allen, who turned 17 three days after their mother Kara Kennedy’s death at age 51 on Sept. 16th, as seen outside the Holy Trinity Church in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.
Things change.

Jacqueline Bouvier and John Fitzgerald Kennedy were married on this day in 1953. The bride was 24, the future President was 36. The ceremony was held at St. Mary’s Church in Newport, Rhode Island. Jackie wore an ivory silk taffeta gown created by Anne Lowe, an African-American designer from Alabama — the dress required 50 yards of taffeta and took Lowe two months to make.
The dress is now on display at the Kennedy Library in Boston.
Jackie carried a bouquet of white and pink orchids with gardenias. The church was decorated with pink gladioli and white chrysanthemums.
The 800 guests at the ceremony swelled to 1,200 for the reception, held at Jackie’s stepfather’s estate, Hammersmith Farm. The receiving line took two hours.
Their first night as husband and wife was spent at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, after which they departed for a two-week honeymoon in Acapulco, where Jack caught a ten-ft. sailfish that would later decorate a wall in the White House.
They had a little over 10 years together.
