Jackie-O Knows How To Serve A Look
On May 11, 1962, former First Lady Jackie Kennedy dazzled guests at a luncheon in honor of Andre Malroux, France’s Minister of State for Cultural Affairs, who was in attendance. Jackie O opted for a pale pink silk gown for the engagement, ditching the sleeves and accessorizing with elbow-length gloves as an alternative. An understated yet stunning gold clutch bag, dangling earrings, and a gold-accented clip to keep her hair in an elegant up-do complete the ensemble. There’s a reason why she sticks out so much in this photograph!

Caroline Lavinia Scott Harrison, a previous First Lady of the United States, wore this magnificent Ghormley, Robes et Manteaux gown to her husband’s inaugural ball. Harrison’s entire vision for the gown, which was made possible by the Logan Silk Company’s purchase of silk from New York, was based on her husband’s pro-American economic stance. As a result, she ordered products from home suppliers, preferring to support native firms rather than international ones. She even commissioned Indiana artist Mary Williamson to create the brocaded silk pattern on the dress, which was inspired by the leaves of a burr oak tree.
