So why in books, documentaries, podcasts, and every other media,is she constantly referred to as “beautiful”?

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.

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.

He's not my type, but he was very handsome

I don't think Jackie was particularly beautiful, but she was unique looking, so that was probably helpful. Kind of like Linda Evangelista.

genz has more stringent beauty requirements they would rather melania than jackie LOL read these

While Jackie Kennedy, a.k.a. Jackie O, was a beacon of grace, style and beauty for many during her height of influence in the 1960s, Gen Z doesn't appear to find her charms as alluring, to say the least.

Apparently, Gen Z thinks Jackie Kennedy looks "feral" and looks like she bites. And/or ate sheet metal.

It seems the viral meme comes from the former first lady's toothy, imperfect smile.

In one TikTok, someone said, "There are certain jokes that when you explain them they just get funnier..."

Exactly!

She is referred to as beautiful because she was beautiful. Women copied her, wanted to be her, men wanted to have her.

Things have changed since then. I guess the people of today who weren't around then have their own opinions. I think the female icons of today (Taylor Swift for instance) tell us what standards are in vogue now. Certainly celebrities of today have the benefit of high tech photo perfection that Jackie didn't have.

At least both my eyes are in the same Zip Code

Both Lee and Jackie had wide-set eyes. Halle Bailey also has that unique feature.

And who said Halle Bailey was beautiful? Halle Berry is the great beauty you’re probably confusing Halle Bailey with.

I didn't say they were beautiful. I said it was a unique feature. Like a cleft chin, some people find it attractive, others don't.

DH and I always comment that her wide set eyes are too strange.

The Gen Z tik tok thread is gross. Stupid people.

Eyes can certainly be too wide-set, regardless of what a prior poster stated. It can be a congenital malformation, although PP apparently reported that post where I linked to the corrective surgery.

Regardless, wide-set eyes within certain bounds are attractive to some, but not to others. Sophia Loren was known for wide-set eyes, and she fits into a classic beauty mold.

But there is a point at which the number of people who find it attractive rapidly diminishes. There is also very clear malformation, with eyes hanging off the sides of the head. At that point corrective surgery is not just cosmetic but also functional, as vision is impaired.

Oh, come on. Did you take a survey? Or did you just read PR articles about how beautiful she was and how everyone wanted to be like her and how men wanted to have her? She was not pretty in her day in the slightest. Most women at that time were very thin. Has everyone lost their memory of that? Why don’t you take a look at some photos of other rich debutantes of the 1950s and 1960s. They’re all equally stylish and nearly all of them have much prettier faces than Jackie. Even her, own sister, Lee Radziwell, was much prettier than Jackie. The only thing that stood out about Jackie was the huge Camelot media campaign put forth by her husband’s team.

As for Taylor Swift, how did you miss the huge pages long thread about how many people think she’s unattractive and a mediocre musician? We’re not all in the same boat in terms of opinions, regardless of publicity efforts to claim mass, unquestioned adoration.

You can’t believe everything you read.

Sophia Loren’s eyes are not wide set. They’re perfect. She’s perfect and an example of a beauty icon of the day.

At one point someone said she was beautiful and people started nodding and agreeing. Like the emperor with no clothes. She was hyped up.

I think she’s stylish and looks perfectly average and normal pretty.

After a certain time period, it's hard to know why anyone in the past was considered beautiful because styles and fashion change so much. I look at women from other centuries who were considered beautiful and I can't see why. Hairstyles like ringlets, wigs in the 18th cenrury, corsets and bustles, "bee-stung lips" in the 1920s, actresses like Theda Bara and Lilian Gish, the Gibson Girl hairdo, for some baffling examples. Jackie's era is long over.

Very wide set eyes are desirable for modeling.

Beauty standards are largely set by the fashion industry which is dominated by gay men. Gisele is attractive but very masculine looking. Like Jackie, Gisele, and Zendaya, Most models have very straight figures which work better for the clothes. Beyoncé and Blake Lively are known for their singing and acting. It’s very unlikely that either would model outside the context of their other career.

Compared to other ladies in public memory, she was young, stylish and pretty. Same with Diana. Neither was Princess Grace beautiful.

She had youth going for her. Most of the presidents and their wives were much older in office. Same with Michelle Obama. Neither Kennedy nor Obama were particularly beautiful IMO, but they were not old and wrinkled.
