Critics worry Ryan Murphy's new show fails to capture Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's style

A Ryan Murphy production rarely arrives without controversy — and this time, the backlash involves a mis-sized Birkin bag.

A Ryan Murphy production rarely arrives without controversy — and this time, the backlash involves a mis-sized Birkin bag.

Murphy’s production company this month unveiled camera test photos, and video, of the highly anticipated FX series “American Love Story” about the tragic romance between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.

The images from the show, which started filming in New York City this month and is set to be released in February, gave audiences their first look at how actors Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Kelly portray the “it” couple, who married in 1996 and died in a plane crash three years later.

Only a handful of the costumes were previewed in the online teasers. But many people online appeared outraged by the depiction, calling the style choices a far cry from the iconic fashion that Bessette-Kennedy, who was a former publicist that worked for Calvin Klein, was known for.

“Pure crime against fashion,” a person wrote June 13 on Instagram. Another commented: “1995 styling with 2025 offerings is INSANE work. Back to the drawing board, I beg.”
