Former First lady of United States of America, Socialite, book editor
Jacqueline Lee "Jackie" Kennedy Onassis (née Bouvier, July 28, 1929 – May 19, 1994) was an American socialite, writer, photographer, book editor and first lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963, as the wife of President John F. Kennedy. When her husband was inaugurated, she was the third-youngest first lady of the United States at age 31. During her time as the first lady of America, she endeared the American public with her fashion sense, devotion to her family, emphasis on arts and culture, and dedication to the historic preservation of the White House.
After the assassination and funeral of her husband in 1963, Kennedy and her children largely withdrew from public view. In 1968, she married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, which caused controversy. Following Onassis's death in 1975, she had a career as a book editor in New York City. She died in 1994 and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery alongside President Kennedy.
During her lifetime, she was regarded as an international fashion icon. Even after her death, she ranks as one of the most popular and recognizable first ladies in American history, and in 1999, she was listed as one of Gallup's Most-Admired Men and Women of the 20th century.

1949
Year of France: Jackie Bouvier went to France in a study-abroad program of her university.
I loved it more than any year of my life. Being away from home gave me a chance to look at myself with a jaundiced eye. I learned not to be ashamed of a real hunger for knowledge, something I had always tried to hide, and I came home glad to start in here again but with a love for Europe that I am afraid will never leave me.

The Jackie Look: Branding a Presidency Through Fashion What unspoken messages do First Ladies send with fashion? And how did the unforgettable Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy break the mold to present her husband's candidacy and presidency as progressive and modern? Sandy McLendon, design historian and editor of jetsetmodern.com, and former contributor and senior editor at Modernism Magazine, takes a visual tour through Jackie's strategic choices: hiring Hollywood costume designer Oleg Cassini; embracing the slim sheath dress and fuss-free pillbox hat (contrasted with Mamie Eisenhower's lacy, girlish selections); and selecting—down to the detail—trim, elegant gowns suitable for superpower diplomacy. McLendon unpacks the elements of "The Jackie Look" so desired by millions of women of the time, and influential to pop culture then and now. |

Des millions de gens restent encore fascinés par tous les détails de sa vie et de sa personnalité. Comme Première Dame, elle a fait entrer la beauté, l’intelligence et le bon goût à la Maison Blanche. Puis son courage durant l’assassinat du Président lui ont valu l’admiration du monde entier.
