I remember seeing her at Greenwich train station. She was waiting for train in morning with me to take her to NYC she stood close by to me outside on the track as we waited for train to take us to NY. it was winter time and she wore a long black coat. She had no makeup but strikingly beautiful. All the men who walked by her would stare at her. She was demure and her head would be slightly down or look to the floor. I still remember that moment. Her beauty overpowered her simple black clothing.

She was tall, thin and blonde (changing her hair color took her from attractive to striking). It isn’t difficult to achieve a great look with those traits, and she knew, as Jackie did, that classic and minimal designs were most flattering on her. Nothing fussy or loud.

Of course, noisy luxury never goes out of style, especially for women like Carolyn, who was exceedingly costly for John Kennedy. She set out to capture John Kennedy, and she did. Worst decision of his life. After marrying her, John Kennedy was never happy again. Wearing clothes is not much of an accomplishment. Seems that is her legacy. John deserved better. I bet John's mother would have seen right through Carolyn. Jacqueline had first-hand experience dealing with gold diggers. Her own sister was a devout golddigger. Lee, too, knew how to wear luxury out in public.

When I lived in NYC in the late 70’s I’d see a lot of models on the streets and in the showrooms in the fashion district. They would come in with hair tied back, no makeup, jeans and a turtle neck and I was always in awe of how great they looked wearing minimally. Thats because of their height and thinness…average women could not pull it off, and the reason why CBK could. She was 5’9”, not the average woman’s height of 5’2”-5’4”. Those 5-7 inches of height makes a huge difference. Why do you suppose designers use models on the runway and not average women?

Good taste is timeless. It is never trendy. Trendy is trashy, a way to sell clothes to the less-than privileged. Black and white is always in because it is never out. The LBD is not a trend, it is a main-stay. Pearls are not trendy. They never have been. They are "class"-ic. There's an old adage of Blue-Book, Blue-Bloods: a lady's name should never appear in the newspaper, except when she gets married, and when she dies. People of privilege live quiet lives, under the radar. Rich people wear what they grew up wearing. They dress in code for one another, as part of the club, not to impress anyone. "Quiet, good taste." The "classy" Rich know who they are, they grew up together. They attended the same schools, went to the same Events. Kardashians are not klass. They are spot-on Trendy. The lower classes worship them. Trash with cash & flash.

It’s 2023 and her style would easily fit today and look amazing.

Missi Caroline was such a gold-digging class act. She could be heard all over Tri-be-ca screaming at her meal- ticket husband, the accessory, the charm on her bracelet. She provoked him, and he could be heard screaming back. They often had public arguments. He was the Crowned-Prince of America. She was a nothing, not prepared to be a something. She brought him nothing but misery. Marrying her was John Kennedy's worst mistake. She was a working girl who bragged to the girls about going after John Kennedy, to trap him. Such a shame he fell for her duplicity. I bet Jackie O would have smelled a rat. Her sister Lee was a professional gold digger, internationally recognized as such. Lee did have a classier background, as well as impeccable taste in clothes. You need to read- up on the Caroline/John marriage. It was awful. The man she set out to trap......she hated his family. She would not spend time on the weekends at the compound with her husband's family. Of course not. They would have sized her up before dinner. Much of the perfect couple's contention, is that she did not like John's family or John's lifestyle. Wha? She did not have the required decorum to at least smile when they went out. John was from a notorious political family. He ran a political magazine. He was a social animal. John had charisma, John had class. He had to put up with her "Debbie Downer" shit all the time. She was an embarrassment to him. Why in the world would she chase down a public persona, a famous kid who was known around the world, with an equally famous huge "clan" of a family, why would she set a goal to trap such a person? She was obviously dumb as a brick. Shame on John Kennedy, he could have had any girl in the world, and he chose damaged goods. At the time of his death, John Kennedy had not spoken to his sister in months. They were on the outs because his sister could not stand his wife. There was good reason why Calvin's showroom assistant didn't want to be around any Kennedys. The Kennedys didn't want her to be around any Kennedys.

They were stunningly good-looking people. So sad that they died so young.

Carolyn dressed for Calvin Klein, Inc. where she had a job Her fashion sense was garnered from the Calvin Klein showroom. Calvin's tastes were the ones you ascribe to Carolyn. He was a quiet designer of clean forms, classic cuts. That was his signature. Only Halston had a "cleaner" look, more original. ALL those secretaries and ribbon girls had great taste. That was their whole life. Why waste your life reading Tolstoy when there's a sample sale on the Lower East Side? Those girls all dressed for each other, not for men. Carolyn's wardrobe was "classic" because she couldn't afford to be trendy. Trendy is expensive. Every six months, trendy is expensive, all over. Those fashionistas all knew each other and kept each other abrest of insider sales and discounts. It might be said that Carolyn's distinction was wearing clothes. Rich people are thrifty. Pearls are a wise investment. You can wear them anytime, anywhere. They're waterproof. They go with everything. You can't go wrong on pearls. It's a wardrobe staple for wealthy women. All the other "ladies" with pearls will recognize you, whether they know you or not.

But there is a certain type of non-pretty that is very exclusive, and becomes the top tier of desirability.

She was and still is my role model... since then I only invested in classic, high quality investment pieces... Love it like it is... And it evolved over the yrs - as travelling almost weekly, relocating constantly world-wide, often heading from day to night and in different cultural settings it was really the best I could do ...

I was a young girl of ten when John and Carolyn perished in 1999. It sounds utterly strange for a child, considering the level of sophistication and austerity that was prevalent in Carolyn's wardrobe; but, she was my style inspiration then. Whilst in the fourth grade, I was given the autonomy to select my own clothing at the department store for the first time. I gravitated toward all-Black ensembles, much to the dismay of my Mother and classmates...the latter of whom, inquired as to if I was "trying to be a witch?" I had already been cultivating a deep and abiding fascination with fashion. I was trying to be minimalistic and elegant as a child because of Carolyn. I chose those clothes to emulate her in the Spring of 1999. I was quite devastated that summer when their plane was announced missing. Carolyn's sartorial choices will always be thoroughly embedded within my heart and mind. 🖤

I loved the way she dressed, I would devour any photo of her in the magazines of the 90’s, even though she did not want her picture taken, I’m selfishly glad that the paparazzi did, I wanted to dress just like her. My all three of them, Rest In Peace.

Really enjoyed this video,thanks for sharing it , love her style and class 🌹

Thank for this great video. That was the good old days that we need to go back too.

She was so so beautiful!❤ I also loved her big Burkin handbags 👜 before they were so popular! I carry big bags 💼 ❤

Carolyn was so classic and stunning! Her wardrobe was perfection. ❤

I knew a girl in grammar school like Carolyn. She was very shy, bony with long limbs and very pale. Gwaky like but in a few short years turned out to be an exotic beauty. This poor couple looked like they were going to have an exciting life ahead of them but that for that awful accident. RIP Beautiful Couple.

I’d love to have her wardrobe today 2024

When she and John died, I felt like some of the light went out of the world, like when Diana died. There are people who make the world a more wonderful place because they're in it; their loss made the world darker for me.

I love her style and her beautiful blonde hair!❤

Gorgeous and timeless.

When I was younger, I thought her style was so boring. Now, I see it as timeless and elegant. Wish I had that style! That’s how I ended up on this video lol Trying to “learn” how to be classy & chic! 😂❤

I'm 55 now, and when she was with JFK I was in my mid-to-late 20's. Her image at the time to me was one of unattainability. Only a guy really good looking would not get blown out standing by her.

Ii so miss them. Yes i would wear her looks today.

👍🏻❤️😍Classic elegance personified!😍🥰😘

This was such a great video… I especially liked the designer outfits being tracked down along with a Runway shot. Thanks so much.

Timeless looks that can be worn today 👍 she was ahead of her time.

It's not my taste but I admire how well she executed her style.

Timeless and classic.

What a unique, classic, sophisticated beauty she was- full of life. They were a beautiful couple. So sad that they could have hired an experienced pilot or traveled during daytime w/ good visibility. Pilot error, death spiral for the young folks that don't know what happened. The Bessette family lost 2 of their 3 daughters. I hope all 3 are in a better place and I hope that didn't suffer when they crashed( something tells me it wasn't that instant). Tragic unnecessary loss. I miss 1999, terribly. Other than my children, I wouldn't miss a thing going back in time. I adore her style and wardrobe but I am a shorty and couldn't pull off half of what she wore. Loved flair pants( which I still wear) paired w/her belted coats. I remember the photo of her fighting w/JFK Jr. in Central Park, wearing Champion sweats and I thought" she looks great even in sweaty clothes"! Most important- her Narcissco Rodrigo wedding gown. Did you show it. A family member of mine had her gown copied of that look. Timeless Beauty💔RIP CB, LB, JFK Jr.

Thank you for posting this. I was such a fan of Carolyn's style 😊

Carolyn's style works perfectly today. /There is nothing preppy or boarding school about her wardrobe. One could wear every single piece she chose today and look terrific and au courant (except the leather...not such a good look). Simple and elegant. You could have her look with ten pieces of clothing, no need for duplicates. Okay, maybe 15 pieces.
