JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette in New York City, and Paul Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon are seen on the set of "Love Story." Mitchell Gerber/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images; Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images/Getty Images "Love Story" follows the doomed love story of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. The show recreates several of Bessette-Kennedy's iconic looks and timeless style. The show's costume designer was replaced after initial backlash to how star Sarah Pidgeon was styled. The iconic style of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy has been often imitated but never replicated — until now. "Love Story," which is produced by Ryan Murphy for FX, chronicles the fated relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, who died in a plane crash off the coast of Martha's Vineyard in July 1999. The series has drawn praise for its striking casting — with Sarah Pidgeon bearing an uncanny resemblance to Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Paul Anthony Kelly closely capturing the look of John F. Kennedy Jr. — as well as for its thoughtful costume design, which carefully recreates and honors Bessette-Kennedy's real-life style. Here's a look at how the show recreated and paid homage to Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's style. The series recreated an early Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy look down to the leather loafers. Jenny Landy and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in New York City in 1995; Sarah Pidgeon is seen filming "Love Story" in New York City. Patrick McMullan/Patrick McMullan/Getty Images; TheStewartofNY/GC Images In this scene, before she meets John F. Kennedy Jr. for the first time, Carolyn (played by Sarah Pidgeon) wears a simple black turtleneck, flared black capri pants, and black leather loafers. In both the show and real life, Bessette-Kennedy worked as a showroom assistant for Calvin Klein before rising the ranks to become head of publicity for the fashion house. Despite marrying into American royalty, Bessette-Kennedy knew how to perfect a casual look. JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette in New York City, and Paul Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon are seen on the set of "Love Story." Mitchell Gerber/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images; Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images/Getty Images She was often seen wearing loose Levi's 517 jeans, her hair slicked back into a bun, with a simple monochromatic coat over the top. When it came to recreating the New York City icon's style, the series didn't always nail it. Early leaked images from the set were criticized online for being too modern, fast-fashion-looking, and different from Kennedy-Bessette's more upscale style. In response to the backlash, the show brought in a new costume designer, Rudy Mance, who dedicated himself to making the costumes as accurate as possible. "I get it. I'm protective of [John and Carolyn] as well. We all just wanted to be as precise and accurate as possible," Mance told Variety. Mance said he and his team studied for months throughout filming, comparing old paparazzi photos of the couple with the new looks he was creating for the show and pulling in as many archival and vintage pieces as possible to accurately recreate the look. Part of Bessette-Kennedy's enduring appeal was her dedication to a minimalist, understated style that felt polished yet effortlessly cool. Lawrence Schwartzwald/Sygma/Getty Images; Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images/Getty Images "There's so much mystery about Carolyn. My familiarity with her was through paparazzi images," lead actor Sarah Pidgeon told Vogue. Mance said that recreating Kennedy's style before she was thrust into the public eye was the most challenging. "Everybody knows what they wore from 1996 to 1999, but we were telling the story of how they met," he said, according to Glamour. Her formal looks remained simple but added a sexy edge, a balance "Love Story" tried to recreate. Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and JFK Jr. in 1998; Sarah Pidgeon in "Love Story." Steve Eichner/Penske Media/Getty Images; FX Networks Bessette-Kennedy often looked effortlessly sexy when she stepped out on red carpets, like in the strapless black Yohji Yamamoto gown photographed above. Pidgeon wears a similar dress for her meet-cute with Kelly in episode one of the series. It was delicate work for Pidgeon to strike the same balance, especially when fans reacted strongly to early images of her in the role. However, the actor told Vogue she was ultimately grateful for the public feedback about her portrayal. "The online conversations at the beginning of the process served as a reminder of how important it was to get our portrayal of Carolyn correct. She grew even more important to me," Pidgeon told Vogue. "People really, really love Carolyn, and my priority every single day on set was doing justice to her legacy." And even when they were recreating simple outfits, the "Love Story" team ensured the fit was similar to what Carolyn would have worn. Carolyn Bessette Kennedy poses for a picture at a gala in 1999; Sarah Pidgeon in "Love Story." Evan Agostini/Liaison/Getty Images; FX Networks Although Bessette-Kennedy's simple outfits could be recreated with off-brand designers — like the white blouse and floor-length black skirt by Yohji Yamamoto that she wore in 1999 — Mance was dedicated to finding archival pieces. Pidgeon was wearing true recreations of Bessette-Kennedy's looks whenever possible. He also ensured the pieces would fit Pidgeon similarly to how they fit Bessette-Kennedy, as Pidgeon told Vogue. "We found her Prada and Valentino coats, and fitted some Levi's so that they looked exactly how they fit Carolyn," Pidgeon told Vogue. By recreating the magic of Bessette-Kennedy's wardrobe, the "Love Story" team offered a window into her world. Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in 1999; Sarah Pidgeon on the set of "Love Story." Justin Ide/Getty Images; Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images/Getty Images Kennedy's clothes were always going to play a central part in her on-screen portrayal since style was so critical to her identity. However, Pidgeon said she hoped the clothes she wears offer a jumping-off point for the total woman she hopes to portray. "She is known as this minimalist fashion icon, but I learned that she was also vivacious, funny, and had a wildness about her," she told Vogue. Read the original article on Business Insider

Just When You Thought Obama's Tower Of Doom Couldn't Get Any More Ugly... Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Barack Obama’s infamous Presidential Center in Chicago, already slammed as a dystopian “prison-like” monstrosity, has just received a bizarre new update that’s ignited widespread mockery online. The addition of disjointed words from one of Obama’s speeches has been dubbed “headache-inducing,” amplifying the backlash against this $830 million behemoth that’s overrun budgets, displaced locals, and turned a public park into a narcissistic shrine. As construction drags on toward a June 2026 opening, the former president’s ego-driven tweaks have only fueled the fire, with X users unleashing savage roasts and memes comparing the structure to everything from a Soviet-era bunker to a “concrete porta potty.” The latest fiasco stems from Obama’s decision to etch excerpts from his 2015 Selma speech onto the building’s facade. But instead of inspiring awe, the disjointed lettering has sparked hilarity and disgust. They somehow managed to make the Obama presidential library even uglier. My gosh. ? pic.twitter.com/lmZnyJ4FSs February 17, 2026 One X user highlighted how the words appear chopped and unreadable, calling it a “headache-inducing” mess that perfectly encapsulates the project’s overall failure.

Locals have decried it as a “totalitarian command center dropped straight out of 1984,” with property values skyrocketing and forcing out longtime residents. Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor warned that such developments “displace the very people they say they want to improve it for,” as rents for two-bedroom apartments jumped from $800 to over $1,800 per month. The project’s DEI-focused hiring of diverse contractors has backfired spectacularly, leading to lawsuits over “racial discrimination” and claims of poor performance, proving once again that woke policies lead to broke outcomes. President Trump didn’t hold back when mocking the stalled eyesore. “He needs help,” Trump quipped, noting how the library-museum hybrid is “not too pretty” and has “run out of money” despite Obama’s insistence on DEI builders. Trump contrasted this with his own push for classical architecture, like the grand Arch near Arlington Memorial Bridge, symbolizing a return to American greatness. The center’s foundation is now scrambling with only $116 million in reserves against $230 million in remaining costs, not including staff salaries. Scheduled tours have started, but critics question who’d visit this overpriced ode to Obama’s ego amid Chicago’s economic woes. Obama’s defenders claim it’ll be an “economic catalyst” for the black community, but the reality is displacement and fiscal chaos. This project exemplifies the hypocrisy of elite liberals: preaching equity while building vast ego towers that burden the working class. In the end, as Trump restores beauty and dignity to American landmarks, Obama’s legacy crumbles under the weight of its own pretension— a fitting monument to an era of division and decline.
