Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the style icon known for her 90s minimalist aesthetic, died with her husband John F Kennedy Jr. in a plane crash in 1999. Her style was so timeless that today, everyone on TikTok wants to dress like her. But the woman is a cypher; she was endlessly photographed by paparazzi but no recording of her voice exists. Why are we still fascinated by Carolyn Bessette and JFK Jr? Glynnis MacNichol, author of I’m Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself, joins us to discuss the couple’s legacy and the role they play in our cultural imagination.
