Sunita Kumar Nair on why Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s ’90s style is so enduring.
Carolyn and I first met at a petrol station in Manchester in 1996. I, a classics student at the city’s university, was running in after a lecture to buy... whatever; she, recently married, was standing by her husband, John F Kennedy Jr, staring out at me from the front cover of a magazine. It was her first week as “The New Mrs Kennedy!” standing next to John wearing a black V-neck sweater, camel midi-skirt, tan boots and a black bag. The ensemble was nothing, yet everything.
Her look said, “Here I am, immaculately dressed in a masculine silhouette with my femininity intact.” There were no feminine frills, prints or over-accessorising, nor was it overt power dressing. Her mastery lay in the simplicity of her clothes: a clutch of carefully considered separates, meticulously fitted to a strict cluster of tonal hues. Stealth wealth, quiet luxury, call it what you will, she was the first to make it hers.
