"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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.
