The reason why she is considered an style icon is because she gravitated to capsule pieces that didn't go out of style. Even bold prints like animal or florals can be capsule
I don't feel like she was a style icon, she just had the money to buy what was in style at the time, and she looked pretty in them. She worked for Calvin Klein, who has always been a minimalist, she just followed his, and the 90's aesthetic. Just look at other women in the 90's, Jennifer Anniston, etc., all the same.
I think you’re missing that her wardrobe isn’t what was in style in the 90s (I was there for it) and was not what the vast majority wore. She chose a few basic (to her) pieces that were classics in the 30s, the 60s, (I love old movies) the 90s, and the same today and why you can wear the same thing she wore in the 90s today and it looks so high end and classic. Natural fiber goes a long way towards that classic wardrobe - wool, silk and linen, cotton - and it’s what I see when I look at her pictures.
I think It is afwul wrong to put Jennifer Aniston in the same category as Carolyn Bessette, as much as I like Aniston, it is just not fair to compare it with Carolyn.
@@zapacila2955 I think it was Jennifer Aniston as Rachael Green in the late 90's a la Ralph Lauren years, also when Reese Witherspoon played Rachael's sister on friends, it was all tailored solid colors, quiet luxury, very common for the time.
@@missylearned9821it was so bold of her to be this minimalist and date the most sought after bachelor from one of the most famous families in the world. At least that’s what I remember as a child. Yeah 90ies minimalism was everywhere but she was the poster child for it. Like Kate moss was for boho in the 2000s. There’s always this one girl who embodies the spirit of an era and I think Carolyn was just that.
There are articles online about Lauren Bisette. She was so accomplished. Spoke fluent Mandarin, earned an MBA, worked in China and Manhattan at Morgan Stanley. She was very well liked by her colleagues. She achieved a great deal of success at a young age, and was considered exceptionally beautiful.
Do people who pay $15,000 for one single jacket understand that there are seniors trying to live off social security, with benefits less than $20,000 for the entire year?
As someone who lived through this era, I don’t recall her being considered a fashion icon. Looking at the photos in this video, she has a very Minimalist Urban look, but it wasn’t a look she pioneered, but shared with many others of her time. While known as the wife of JFK Jr, I would say she really wasn’t that famous in her own rite; they were only married for 3 years at the time of the tragic plain crash. But to collectors of 90s memorabilia or items connected to the Kennedys, could have some value. But this segment feels like an overhyped Sotheby’s advertisement.
It's sad she's dead, but it's not like she was Princess Diana or Marilyn Monroe. She really wasn't that iconic to warrant collectors paying top dollar for her clothes.
Oh please. They were not royalty. Give us all a break. The father Joe, was a bootlegger during the prohibition and bribed the unions to vote for JFK. Really Jackie was the only one w style
It is so funny they said that if Carolyn favored something, she bought it in every color- It reminds me of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, when ever she found a shoe or dress or blouse she would always say: I love it ill take it in every color! It is so sad that Jackie never got to meet Carolyn- I'm sure they would have gotten along famously
Carolyn was consistently in the pages of Vogue, Elle, and Harpers Bazaar when I was a fashion-obsessed teenager and young adult in the mid-to-late '90s. She possessed a casual, understated elegance that will never go out of style. 🤍
If I bought them and walked down street I doubt anyone would check them out....defo not think they were thousands. I guess it's more for people who were into her at the time. Never heard of her
People were hailing Carolyn a style icon since before her tragic Death. There is a massive online fan base for her clothing choices and style. Carolyn wore the timeless, minimalistic look in a profoundly idyllic way.
I wouldn't say she was the style icon of her style at all. Media was always taking her pics because she was w JFK jr. She bought the same stuff everyone else.was. I was there in the 90s and never thought she was some big fashion girl. Any tall thin person with JFK would have the same things said. She didn't create the clothes she bought tbem.
So sad she never was on time ever, Not for her wedding, not for the plane, that should have taken off hours before dark. If she hadn'tt been so self-absorbed and rude 3 people might not be dead.
If jfk jr decided to be smart he wouldn’t have taken 2 out of 3 sisters from the family blame the real issue just cause he’s the “American prince” you all decide he’s so innocent he was a grown man
@@jackiechristian-di6sy late or not the weather was reportedly bad that night HE should’ve known better to not fly plus she didn’t even want to go so your blaming a victim? He killed her and her sister
This is so ghoulish. John Kennedy killed Carolyn and her sister. The divers had to scrape clumps of her scalp off the controls of the aircraft. Can we not let her rest in peace?

Her fashion game was on point!
Her style is still so relevent and classy. RIP ❤
It’s a little icky to sell her clothes
agree, I think it is the way she died that makes this all macabre
THANK YOU. I said that and was called 'sick' and 'bizarre'. I can't imagine wearing a murder victim's clothes.
They need to be on display at the kennedy library
Then you pay for them put them there
YES
It would be more valuable as a friend to keep them! Priceless!

Kim K is already bidding...
She'd never fit this style. Its too classy for her.
Nice try for that woman to be any cool. And how sad for a garment that special to end up in her hands.
Looks like her sister is completely forgotten. We don't know anything about her.

Wow i didnt know all that about her
Do people who pay $15,000 for one single jacket understand that there are seniors trying to live off social security, with benefits less than $20,000 for the entire year?
That would be social security's fault not Sothebys or the fashion industry.
@mwv1217 No one's blaming them, just hoping they can see the inequities.
@@DarqJestor the only fingers to point are at Social security
@mwv1217 Understanding doesn't require blame.
@DarqJestor you're comparing apples to oranges here.
The only thing I can say about the leopard coat. Meow!!!
Right?!
I absolutely loved her style. I wanted her wedding gown and gloves.

The Kennedy's were considered American royalty.
She married the most eligible bachelor in America JFK Jr. was royalty 😊
Oh please. They were not royalty. Give us all a break. The father Joe, was a bootlegger during the prohibition and bribed the unions to vote for JFK. Really Jackie was the only one w style
she was iconic for marrying him and coming from a middle class family
If she was alive today she'd be on the cast of the Real Housewives
Now watch people claim she's haunting them, since they are wearing her clothes.
Fashion Icon might be an over statement !!!!
Look out for Kim Kardashian’s bids!
its not like any of these extra small pieces would fit her

Her style is classic it all can be worn today in 2025🎉
These pieces should be at the MET not for sale
Who will benefit from the sale ?
She wasn't what I'd call beautiful but stylish. Probably what made him notice her to start with.
I thought she was beautiful. She was also minimalist with makeup. She had a natural beauty. Big smile.
This is disgusting. Now wr know why the press has neen pushing her on us. She wasnt a fashion icon. So pathetic.
They just look like regular clothes to me...
If I bought them and walked down street I doubt anyone would check them out....defo not think they were thousands. I guess it's more for people who were into her at the time. Never heard of her
I guess if you say it enough it becomes fact
She wore classic pieces yes--but save yourself a cool $65,000 on that middle coat. You could get that same style at any Macy's or Nordstrom's today.
Should be on display quite sad to think they could be sold to anyone
Oh yeah I remember that one from 25 years ago today.
Sorry she was hardly a style icon.
People were hailing Carolyn a style icon since before her tragic Death. There is a massive online fan base for her clothing choices and style. Carolyn wore the timeless, minimalistic look in a profoundly idyllic way.
She was a plain girl who got lucky in life
Dying in the plane crash at age 33 with her husband and sister is lucky?
Just devastating that they both died! I wonder what would of been of Carolyn.
This seems incredibly tacky.
Thats creepy, they were close to seperating, and no she is not A style icon Why the obsession with this freaking family ?????
THAT IS SAD !
I hope her friend still has some pieces to hold onto. It’d be lovely to have a tangible item of your friend’s
Caroline Kennedy did not like this Caroline, felt jfk jr. Married beneath himself.
I wouldn't say she was the style icon of her style at all. Media was always taking her pics because she was w JFK jr. She bought the same stuff everyone else.was. I was there in the 90s and never thought she was some big fashion girl. Any tall thin person with JFK would have the same things said. She didn't create the clothes she bought tbem.
Weren’t there
What’s with that goofy hairdo Savannah? You can’t look away once you see it.
it looks like dead fur pelts hanging vertically
Let the woman rest in peace. Geesh...
wonder if she were black or asian if she would have been considered a style icon...
Kinda creepy they are selling her clothes. Where do the proceeds of sales go?
To pay Rosie’s rent
This is really morbid and disgusting…
SHEIN has all those coats😂I hope the money goes to charity
Geez. How tasteless.
Not from her family from a so called friend. Well friend wants the $$$ otherwise she would not be putting up for auction.
So sad she never was on time ever, Not for her wedding, not for the plane, that should have taken off hours before dark. If she hadn'tt been so self-absorbed and rude 3 people might not be dead.

True, he needed a copilot. Why didn't they take a commercial flight?
@@jackiechristian-di6sy late or not the weather was reportedly bad that night HE should’ve known better to not fly plus she didn’t even want to go so your blaming a victim? He killed her and her sister
What are you talking about? It was her husband who simply had zero business being a pilot due to his lack of knowledge and experience.
Stylish 😂😂😂
I'll give them $1.00 for everything because she meant nothing
To you, perhaps. You don't speak for everyone.
@AvecPoesie I wasn't. Grow up!
She meant nothing, yet here you are commenting on her.
@@juliemccauslin5038 NO, you grow up.
She was not a fashion icon.
OMG that vocal frrryyyyyyyyyy. It's so hard to listen to.
She was boring, accomplished nothing. She could have used her platform to bring attention to worthy causes.
Her and every other celebrity in the world. It's disheartening to see people worshipping fashion ($25k Birkin bags) while seniors and kids go hungry.
This is so ghoulish. John Kennedy killed Carolyn and her sister. The divers had to scrape clumps of her scalp off the controls of the aircraft. Can we not let her rest in peace?
Who's ghoulish? The rest of us are admiring her style. Yet you bring up the image of the crash.
@@notpurrfect6397 We might as well have an auction of JonBenét Ramsey's clothes then
Such a bizarre and utterly sick comment.
It was bizarre and sick, as well as descriptive. That said, I’d love to hear more..
@@AvecPoesie The truth is uncomfortable.
