Carolyn Bessette Kennedy

Happy new years my dear followers🤗. I hope your 2025 is filled with love, happiness and laughter! My page has slowed down since its early days, mainly due to many positive changes in my life that have captured my attention. But I still love this community and will continue to post with your blessings. I still love CBK and love connecting with all who also love her! Happy New Years🪩🍾

“After they were married, Carolyn occasionally came by my shop on 5th Avenue. I’d never seen her more happy. I made fun of her. ‘Carolyn, what do you do all day? Sit at home just waiting for the next party? That’s not like you’ She replied, ‘just you wait and see’” Donatella Versace, quoted in “Once Upon a Time” by Elizabeth Beller.

“Carolyn’s my absolute best friend in the world. I’ve never had a better relationship with anybody. That stuff in the press is bullshit.” JFK Jr., quoted in “Once Upon a Time” by Elizabeth Beller

Merry Christmas to all that celebrate🪩🎄

“But the world knew Jackie was synonymous with taste and elegance. In February 1996, Carolyn went from light brunette with highlights to the cornflower blonde hair she was known for, courtesy of colorist Brad Johns, started plucking her eyebrows ultra thin and lost weight from her already willowy 5-foot-10 frame. “All of it” wasn’t the real Carolyn, longtime friend MJ Bettenhausen told Beller, but “eventually she would have centered. She was always fit and had a beautiful figure, but she became so thin and pale…I think she felt she had to fit in, to be what she thought people expected a Kennedy to be.” E News

As Terenzio recalls, “Carolyn said, ‘I actually think this is hysterical.’ She thought Lee was a badass. She thought it was genius.” “Carolyn was like, ‘You know what that was, don’t you honey? That was like, ‘F— you for not inviting me to your wedding.’ That was like, ‘How dare you,’ ” Terenzio says, explaining, “Because I’m sure Lee, who was all about appearances, was embarrassed that she wasn’t invited to John’s wedding. But in the end, Carolyn got a big kick out of Lee.” @people

“This was a time,” says Matt Berman, the creative director of George and a close friend of the couple’s. “George had to be figured out; his cousin’s dying. Maybe Carolyn has to decide how she wants to live her life. Does she want to work? Does she want to have kids? Does she want to lead charities?” “Here you are in the middle of a shift like that, and that’s when the accident happened.”

“We were running around Central Park West and we started walking, which was unusual because the guy just wanted to run forever. He said he was completely enchanted by this woman, Carolyn Bessette. And I was like, “What about Daryl?” because they were still together, and he is like, “I think we’re going to break up.... I met her at Calvin Klein.” Town and Country

“The items for auction include 2 black wool coats with starting bids each of $15,000 and a faux leopard print coat with a starting bid of $20,000. “Super creepy if you ask me,” Schlossberg wrote on his Instagram Stories alongside a photo of the segment playing on a TV screen. “Have me on to discuss real issues w @savannahguthrie.” Schlossberg tagged both Today and anchor Guthrie in a second post which read: “I think you should interview young people (me) instead of a dress you found somewhere to make $$ of someone’s death.” People.com

“Carolyn’s colleagues began imitating her clothes and manner. Assistant designer Jessica Wade remembered that “every woman who worked there was following [Carolyn’s] style in one way or another. I remember thinking a lot about wearing no mascara” because Carolyn didn’t. They had contests to see who could show up with the dirtiest head of hair. Once she wore a long midi Calvin skirt with Chucks on her feet and only a fitted black leather jacket as a shirt. Soon, Chucks, midi skirts, and jackets as shirts made appearances all over the office.” Via Once Upon a Time

“If Carolyn ran out to the drugstore, she would bring back a lipstick or a vial of Abdul Kareem Egyptian Musk Oil, which she would buy from street vendors and share with the other girls. “Here, try this. This shade will look beautiful on you.” “Try this oil. Doesn’t it smell like clean, first love?” This was Carolyn’s signature scent. One can’t help but wonder, in a fragrance version of Charles Foster Kane’s Rosebud, if her father had brought this musk oil back from his work in Egypt.” Via Once Upon a Time
