Take a look back at the fascinating true story of the blood-soaked pink suit that former First Lady Jackie Kennedy was wearing when her husband, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated – which has still never been washed, despite being covered in gore, and now sits in a temperature-controlled windowless room in a secret location.
Jackie wore the two-piece set on the fateful day in November 1963 when her husband was brutally killed a mere inches from her while they were riding in the back of an open-topped limo in Dallas, Texas, together.
During the horrific shooting and its aftermath, JFK’s blood splattered across the outfit, but his mourning widow refused to take it off afterwards – and it’s been said that she insisted on continuing to wear it because she wanted his killers to ‘see what they had done.’
The entire world was devastated by JFK’s shock passing and quickly became engulfed in the events that transpired on that devastating day, so it comes as no surprise that the ensemble is now a major part of history.
