Why is Jackie Kennedy always referred to as “beautiful”?

If so many people are agreeing that she had great style, but an unattractive face, maybe you are the one whose perception is off? She was stylish and rich and thin, but her face had terrible, uneven proportions which made her unattractive. She was very asymmetrical and her features didn’t fit right in her face. For many people that made her UGLY.

She was sophisticated, glamorous and classy. This is beautiful.

The way someone carries themselves can make them beautiful. Someone with conventional beauty can be ugly if they carry themselves poorly. Don’t you agree?

No, she just looked a lot like her father.

Jackie reminds me of current "it" gal Zendaya. The media and fashion houses create these women. Ivanka Trump, Blake Lively, Beyonce and Gisele Bündchen are a few others. The frenzy does not match up to reality. And the scope of plastic surgery involved these days is grotesque.

I would say it's the other way around. Jackie became famous because her reality, her position, merited it.

Np
Zendaya and Gisele are gorgeous in any fashion and no make up

Jackie O was beautiful too I'm the curated way you describe. I didn't think her son was very attractive but he was very popular in the 90s.

I feel the same way about the Hadid sisters. They are all ugly but the media keeps saying that they are beautiful.

No one called her sexy unlike, say, Marilyn Monroe, but she cut a figure.

And don’t forget Jackie’s sexy, wispy, come-hither voice!

It's funny how her daughter didn't have that at all.

No, I think a lot of people’s perception of beauty is off now bc everyone “beautiful” has Botox, fillers, veneers, surgical alterations, instagram filters, etc. She looks like a beautiful, imperfect real person.

I think Jackie was beautiful. I also think Michelle Obama and Zendaya are beautiful.

Jackie had very strong bone structure. That doesn't always translate into being conventionally pretty, but I do think she was pretty. Her coloring, her figure, and her style all added up. Of course you can pick apart her flaws, but why bother? Different people have different standards of beauty.

He was THE most gorgeous guy. I paralyzed when I saw him one day at the Central Park.

I hope you weren't paralyzed, PP.

I lived in NYC through the '90s and I used to see him all the time. I agree ... absolutely gorgeous.
