Former first lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis has long been immortalized in books and museums and as a fashion icon. Her classic elegance served as inspiration for fashion designers, first lady successors and women across the globe.
The late widow of President John F. Kennedy will be portrayed by actress Natalie Portman in the feature film “Jackie.” A photo published by Deadline is already turning heads and building up anticipation for the movie.
In the photo, the Academy Award-winning actress is wearing a red suit, a classic multi-string pearl necklace and Kennedy’s trademark bouffant hairstyle.
Kennedy wore a similar look in an iconic photo take at the White House in late 1961.
The film — directed by Pablo Larrain, Peter Sarsgaard, who will star as Robert Kennedy, and Greta Gerwig — will follow Jackie’s life in the days after her husband assassination in 1963.
