Caption, reaction, and swift moderation

Some voices called the costume “appallingly distasteful.” Others noted the emotional weight of dressing as figures tied to a national tragedy. Still, the post circulated widely before moderation limited further responses.
Public outreach and media notes
Media outlets sought comment from McCall DaPron’s representatives. Page Six reported outreach but did not immediately receive a response. The episode added to trending conversations around celebrity Halloween choices.

Previous celebrity controversies that mirror this moment
The choice to depict the Kennedys in costume is not new to celebrity circles. Last year, Julia Fox drew anger for dressing as Jackie Kennedy in a pink suit stained with fake blood. That look prompted calls that it was “disturbing” and “tasteless,” with critics saying that certain tragedies should not be treated as costumes.
Jack Schlossberg, Jackie Kennedy’s grandson, publicly condemned Fox’s portrayal on social media. He called the depiction harmful and said it glamorized political violence.
Fox defended her decision at the time, arguing the ensemble was a form of protest and an artistic statement rather than a simple costume.
