Inspired by JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette: timeless style icons

Director Ryan Murphy's new series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette revives one of the most iconic couples of the 1990s. In the lead roles, we see John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, with New York City as an unmistakable third character. The result is a visual trip full of nostalgia, minimalism and effortless elegance.

Carolyn's style in particular continues to fascinate: understated, chic and just that bit of nonchalance that makes it irresistible. At the same time, John's laid-back, preppy wardrobe also proves that real style seems effortless. No wonder their minimalist 90s aesthetic is popping up everywhere again today. With these items, you can effortlessly bring that iconic look to your own wardrobe.

Messy Classy

Carolyn Bessette's style oozes quiet luxury: minimalist, classic clothes combined with a casual look. It is precisely this contrast that makes the look interesting. Slightly tousled hair and a subtle no-make-up make-up look make a classic outfit look less formal and more effortless.

A look that is both timeless and casually cool, just that perfect balance between classic and funky that made him a style icon of the 90s.
