Unmasking Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy: Did FX Nail the True Essence or Just Spin Another Hollywood Tale?
In a Variety interview, Ryan Murphy responded to the negative comments, saying, “Carolyn Bessette is clearly a religious figure and it’s a religion of her own. It’s very interesting that people become so inflammatory,” and noting that the costumes from the photos were used for camera testing and are not necessarily representative of the outfits that will be worn in the finished episodes.
Murphy also said that he has a 10-person “style advisory board” that has been helping him and the show’s costume designer, Lou Eyrich, source costumes and ensure their accuracy. Murphy revealed to Variety that his team has bought some of Bessette-Kennedy’s actual clothing, and said, “We have multiple pairs of Manolo black heels and sandals from 1992 to 1999. We have the Manolo boots she wore in black and brown. We have her Prada tall boots. We have her Prada bags. We have the Birkin No. 40 that we have taken to a specialist to scruff it up so it looks identical to the one she would wear half-open on the subway.”
