CAROLYN BESSETTE-KENNEDY 90S MINIMALISM MEETS ELEGANCE/ FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION

[@MarysRoom]

Just pinning this comment to make the correction that CBK had an upper-middle-class upbringing

[@amandaamanda5398]

A very tiny mistake: the white shirt was from Yohji Yamamoto, not the skirt. If you look closely, the shirt was buttonless. It was designed to be worn as Carolyn did, and that was why it fit so perfectly.

[@peggyon1]

Yes, @MarysRoom, her mother remarried a physician and they lived in Greenwich, CT, which is very affluent.

[@deecohen1383]

Youre describing this perfectly. Well done. Have you seen the Lost Wedding Tape of their secret wedding…!? Its AMAZING. If you havent seen it yrt (Im sure you have) drop everything. Its magical And then the tragedy just 3 years later. Heartbreaking. You did a good job here. Much respect

[@deecohen1383]

90’s minimalism is THE BEST! Ya Im biased. But it is!

[@deecohen1383]

You really did your research and are all in. I respect this alot

[@jayare6804]

Sharon Stone wore her husband's white dress shirt, tucked into a skirt to the Oscars about a year before CBK did, I believe. Both looked fabulous.

[@SB_41]

It's fascinating to see CBK through the eyes of someone that did not experience the 90s as I did. There isn't a current "celebrity" that can even come close to her elegance. CBK's style and fresh beauty is timeless. I was in my early 20s when her sister, CBK and John passed away. Some times I wonder how she would feel about the vulgar beauty standards that have become "norm."

[@MarysRoom]

Yes, I feel her style is the opposite to the influencer hyped approach. Thank you for watching❤️

[@Lori1976]

S B So agree. Miss them being here, miss the 90s in general. So much fun!

[@joanreynolds955]

You’re right. She is still relevant today. Recently, the French high-street brand Sézane did an inspiration look page recreating pap photos of John and Carolyn. It absolutely still works now.

[@tygressblade]

Totally agree. I was in my early 20’s when she married JFK JR. She was effortless.

[@ann5765]

I agree. I loved style and elegance.

[@WillowPatty]

Lovely profile of Carolyn. I am much older - will be 80 this year, and I remember her very well. The person who really started the white shirt for evening was Carolina Herrera. That was her signature look and still is. Carolyn was a lovely person, and her untimely death is still so sad, along with JFK, Jr. and Carolyn's sister. They were a fascinating couple on many levels.

[@MarysRoom]

Since making this video I went on a rabbit hole looking up Carolina Herrera's style. Thank you so much for watching and sharing❤

[@vickitaylor680]

She mixed neutrals; camel and black, cream and white. Love it.

[@MarysRoom]

Yes so classic! Thank you for watching❤

[@philippapay4352]

She was a New England physician's daughter, so had upper middle class money all her life: successful doctor/lawyer money. The Birkin bag became a style icon all its own about 5-6 years before being on "Sex & the City" in 2001 then "Gilmore Girls" in 2005. It may not have arrived for the masses prior to those shows, but the wealthy knew of them and were buying them for lots of $$. At the prices charged both then and now, there are no ordinary working women who wear them to the office to hold magazines. LL Bean has been around forever and is not a Dollar Store plastic beach bag. It is what folks with disposable income use for beach wear because even the super wealthy do not carry leather Louis Vuitton to the beach. Perhaps some other material, but not...

[@Wee162]

Actually that was her Stepfather. Early life was middle class before her mother married her stepfather

[@sandraankenbrand]

Was never wealthy, middle class, but over here in Europe, due to Jane Birkin everyone knew of the Birkin Bag...

[@jeanettesmith765]

Wish more people would address this beautifully simple style. I am sick of the Kardashian show-it-all clothing..

[@MarysRoom]

Totally feel you on this! Thank you for watching!

[@Christina-sf4py]

The old saying is true...money cannot buy class.

[@frederiquemartin223]

As a French person who was in her twenties when she passed away I have to say she was the epitome of class An American princess

[@natashadavies9569]

Ditto from an English perspective.

[@MarysRoom]

Really appreciate your perspective!

[@laurabernard2094]

In the day LLBEAN WAS MY GO TO…. From Welles to Italian made snow boots to woolen socks down jackets and more…. I miss them they are all but gone today….was always happy to get their catalogs. I’m older than CBK but her style was always me…. It comes from within 💯

[@unknown-lf6zx]

I loved CBK style. Still timeless today! Boy the 90s were the best. I used to be told all the time I looked like her. What a compliment. They were a stunning couple! 😢❤

[@MarysRoom]

Absolutely a compliment! Thank you for watching❤

[@ginamiller6754]

She was one of my favorite style icons! She and I were almost the same age. I still follow the same classic style with just a bit of an edge. Her death was a tragic loss. I do need to correct you on her upbringing. She wasn’t middle class, her parents were affluent.

[@sherrycohen1824]

But they were not pretentious.

[@Purplenpinkk]

She was actually from upper middle class. Her step father was a surgeon, so most likely earning close to $400,000 back in the 80s. Very privileged. She wore the Birkin for function like Jane Birkin did. Loved her style and a pioneer of street style.

[@sandraankenbrand]

I don't think they paid 400K per yr to a PR Assistent in the 90s... I was in a similar position back then in NYC and earned 80K per yr pre tax

[@Purplenpinkk]

@@sandraankenbrand her step father was a doctor - a surgeon.

[@sandraankenbrand]

@Purplenpinkk annual average wage back then in NYC was 49K... so 80 was already way above and that for a beginner... My father also was wealthy, but after I got a job he didn't pay me anything anymore besides my car insurance back home (was in his name, he didn't ask me to) That was it! Did you get money still from yr parents when graduated? If so, congrats - I don't know anybody who did.

[@Purplenpinkk]

@@sandraankenbrand I’m not talking about your salary. I’m talking about her step father. My father was a surgeon in the 80s in NY and was earning money like that. This is how I know.

[@sandraankenbrand]

@Purplenpinkk yes, I know... but that doesn't mean that her father was supporting her. Pls read properly...

[@lindahamila]

This was great! Carolyn is such a style icon for the 90's era and her aesthetics are so relevant and timeless.

[@MarysRoom]

Agreeed! Forever relevant❤️

[@janemackrell3733]

My best friend at the time wore to my first wedding in 1977 a camel pencil skirt to just below the knee. She looked incredibly chic and I envied her look even more than my own wedding dress. She certainly looked more stylish than the other guests in their contrived wedding outfits and hats

[@MarysRoom]

Must have been so unexpected but amazingly chic❤

[@user-gj9uq8jt7g]

Love Carolyn’s style. She had confidence!

[@adriana-jn8ru]

She had understated elegance. Love her!

[@jojijosette5946]

CBK is the best style icon... her style has stood the test of time, timeless. Love her style so much.

[@MarysRoom]

Totally agree! Thank you for watching Joji!

[@sarahberney]

Great video but I couldn't help but giggle a it about how different our perspectives are between the generations. It was normal to re-wear clothing and accessories until they came to the end of their natural life in the 90s. Fast fashion and the impulse to buy a fresh wardrobe every season came later. I'm looking forward to a time when that comes back - everyone valuing their clothes and their style more when it meets longevity again, although this time, in the name of sustainability of course.

[@MarysRoom]

Great points! I'm the same, hoping that there will be more value in quality over quantity. Thank you so much for watching Sarah❤

[@sarahberney]

@@MarysRoom My pleasure 💗

[@654ujala]

Great comment! I agree…I also look forward to a time when personal style is prioritized over fast fashion. Hopefully, people will stop “investing” in all of the items that influencers push and will spend more energy developing one’s own personal style.

[@aprilkeyes2420]

I was young in 90's but I remember the decade. It was an amazing time. CBK was one of the style setters you would see in the many fashion magazines back then. (Remember those 2" thick magazines? With the great journalism and the award winning photography? Not to mention the new fragrance launch scent strips?) I remember Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangalista also embodied that cool girl, minimalist vibe. Your video made me feel kind of sad. Since CBK's era we have slid into a time where everything is expensive but the quality of clothing is just not the same. Some of the best retailers have gone insolvent since 2020 and things are topsy turvey now. Looking back at those photos of CBK I recall a time when things were fun. The world was more stable. And fashion was exciting.

[@MarysRoom]

Yes, there was something so optimistic about this era and the 90s. Her sense of fashion embodied that chic 90s minimalism but it had this undertone of optimism. Really appreciate your perspective and the perfume strip really got me. Big thank you for watching❤

[@ThirzaLynetteClarke-ku9dq]

Less is always more. Bravo Carolyn for confirming this for me. Thanks

[@laurahills6109]

I'd love you to talk about Carolina Herrera's unique style. I believe that she was the first to introduce her signature white shirt with a black skirt for formal wear in her 1981 collection.

[@MarysRoom]

Great suggestion! Would love to do a deepdive on her style. Thank you for watching 💕

[@margaretl8851]

I am with you on her style. Simple yet sophisticated.

[@MarysRoom]

Agreed❤ Thank you for watching

[@PatMcAnn]

For those of us who were working class folks in the 80s, we carried the Kate Spade version of the Prada square bag. I still have it and my daughter wants it bad! Also, before online shopping, we had less time to shop and therefore fewer clothes that we wore and re-wore and re-wore. No "1 event" outfits like we have today.

[@MarysRoom]

Great points and love that the bag is generational! Thank you for watching❤

[@sandraankenbrand]

I was living in the 90s in NYC and so much loved her style that I kept it until today... Lovely to see its a thing (also I was quite happy to not see it allover)

[@mcleanroom7997]

LL Bean is classic preppy style

[@erinbrinkman5268]

I love CBK’s aesthetic. It does remind of my Phoebe Philo/old Céline - especially the bags, like the Seau Sangle.

[@MarysRoom]

Yes I definitely see the inspiration, must be why I love them both!

[@stephaniegosman573]

LOVE this series idea, also the Olsens are FLAWLESS

[@cnmurugan1483]

She was an still is insanely Uber chic. Especially in the gauche logo world we live in. She had style and she didn’t care a fig about what everyone else was doing. It was her. That’s why she is so iconic

[@MarysRoom]

Yes it was all about her personal style! Thank you for watching C N❤️

[@k8schmate]

It's astonishing how someone who was on the world stage for a relatively short time (sadly) has had such a long-lasting impact in terms of style legacy

[@MarysRoom]

Such a good point Kate❤

[@angelacritters]

the LL Bean Canvas bag is timeless. It was created in 1944 to carry ice. I've always had one or two in my closet. They hold everything.

[@MarysRoom]

Fascinating how a tote has been able to outlive generations. Definitely makes me think I should add one. Thank you so much for watching Angela❤️

[@marilyn6556]

They are awesome, very sturdy, tote bags.

[@roxanebethjohnson3594]

I'm a few years younger than Carolyn would have been. At the time, images of her were only available when they popped up in a magazine. And yet, I clipped them out and tried to emulate. I remember that a lot of us who couldn't afford her actual clothing bought the knock-off styles at Banana Republic. I still feel sad when I see her but I also love to, so thanks for this video. Would LOVE to see a breakdown of Christine LeGarde's style. Those scarves!

[@MarysRoom]

I'm around her age she was in the late 90s and I always screenshot every new image I see of hers. I know, not quite the same, and I think when I last clipped magazines it was of the Olsen twins, but so fascinating she still has that hold decades later. Thank you so much for sharing and watching❤

[@martinakuhnert9636]

CBK, I absolutely loved her style. Simple yet sexy, clean lines yet sexy...no need to advertise name brands. She definitely was an icon.

[@MarysRoom]

Absolutely! I love how she embraced her femininity in such an elegant but modern way. Thank you for watching❤️

[@Tweegrrl]

I just loved Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. I still have that copy of Vanity Fair with her on the cover and a full feature with black and white photos of her at home with her dog. She was wearing jeans and a classic button-up shirt. Always imagining what could've been...

[@MarysRoom]

Those items are collectables at this point🙌 Her style was an inspiration❤

[@tracyrottkamp9428]

Mary, I loved this video!!! What a fascinating idea, and I admired so much how you provided your own insightful opinions ( I agreed on all your remarks!) with so much informative and inspiring comments. I just adore Carolyn Besette Kennedys style… so classic but with sensuous appeal. Truly iconic. I’m so happy you’re doing these videos, I cannot wait for your next one, this was so beautiful and reminded me of when I was a twenty year old, and gazing through magazines just to see what Carolyn was wearing that week! 🤩Bravo, Mary!!! 🥰💓

[@MarysRoom]

I agree, classic with sensuous appeal is right! It must have been so amazing to see her style photographed in magazines - such an icon! Thank you for watching❤️

[@paulamercado4207]

She is just beautiful. Simple minimalist brings out her beauty even more.

[@MarysRoom]

100% agree! Thank you for watching❤

[@emerald637]

Beatrice Borromeo reminds me very much of Carolyn Bissette-Kennedy, in more ways than one. Not only do they resemble each other physically, but their personal style is quite similar, even though they were decades apart. It is the "less is more" approach to their style choices, which is a classic and timeless elegance. Also, it is making the right choices for them. That was something Audry Hepburn lived and breathed as well. Actually, all three of these beautiful women exuded self-confidence and independence, and they were all successful career women in their own right (with Beatrice still being very much alive, and well, of course). These women discovered beauty well beyond the pages of a magazine cover, or Madison Avenue. They found true beauty from within and from the elements that surrounded them in nature, in the arts, and by participating in life's most valuable treasure, which is found in relationships. All three of these rare beauties have one more thing in common that brought out the most exquisite expression in each one of them, and that was when they would interact with a child. I have never seen a more genuine purity in their smiles, than when they were holding a baby in their arms.

[@MarysRoom]

So eloquently put, especially the "beauty from within" statement. I will have to take a look at Beatrice Borromeo's style. Thank you so much for watching and the suggestion❤️

[@janetclaireSays]

I always loved her style, and theirs as a couple. They were the epitome of NYC 90s the cool kids!

[@MarysRoom]

Totally! Something about 90s in NYC

[@periscope7731]

Yes! Had CBK not been a publicist at Calvin Klein, I could picture her wearing Helmut Lang clothes.

[@badatfashion]

I never knew about her! But her style speaks to me and I'll take a deeper look because "less is more" is my mantra. I can't imagine a birkin fitting into luxury minimalism today, I think a garden party is wayyy better, but you're right at that the time the birkin wasn't really the BIRKIN of today. Also LL bean is known for their quality and lifetime guarantee. If anything goes wrong with any item you get from there, they replace it even if its been 20 years. They only recently stopped this guarantee. I know people who used to look for LLBean at thrift stores, take it in to the store and get a brand new item. LL Bean definitely says "practical" but also quality, and I feel like it has a northeastern Trust Fund kid vibe.

[@tj445]

The birkin-- and most luxury brands-- was not known outside of wealthy circles until reality TV; most notably the Housewives franchise. CBK was definitely a trailblazer, in more ways than one.

[@blacklavoux]

It’s simple and clean. She wears earth tone colors. That’s why it looks clean and fresh. Her wardrobe is ageless.

[@MarysRoom]

100% Agree!

[@duchess_of_petty9323]

He style was just perfection so elegant, and still everything was wearable. They are soooo missed.

[@MarysRoom]

[@periscope7731]

Fabulous look at CBK personal style. Another component of her style was the super-luxe hair, taken care of by celebrity colorist Brad Johns.

[@MarysRoom]

Great point! Her hair always on point!

[@ytang5615]

I agree with all the positive comments on Carolyn and admire insight of the presenter, both are terrific at what they are doing. I also wonder ,working with fashion for so long , if Carolyn just was so well practiced that she was able to really pair her look knowing what works for her. It reminds me how fashion designers come out at the end of their show wearing most simple, monochromatic look, some of them always the same. as if to say you are more important than your clothes. When we watch Carolyn we always see her first, and then what she is wearing. I think that is the secret of style: to RESIST everything that doesn't work for you , for your body type, comfort, lifestyle, .....not to worry others will comment: "you always look the same"

[@MarysRoom]

Ohh yes that is such an interesting point. I'm always interested in a designers personal style. What does someone like Phoebe Philo wear on the regular. I do think people that work in fashion, dress so naturally. Thank you for watching❤

[@rosieko787]

[@ShinbiBelldandy]

I was 13 when she passed away. Obviously my style at the time was waaaay different. But looking back as an adult of the same age, I love her aesthetic! She was minimalism & capsule wardrobe chic before it became a thing. I have some of what she does styles in my wardrobe, but I can appreciate her so much. She & Jackie weren’t brand whores, they shopped with intent & created trends. I miss that. Nowadays, people are walking billboards.

[@MarysRoom]

Yes she was such a pioneer of this style and so refreshing in comparison to how fashion is now. Thank you so much for watching❤

Love your insight in this video. As a teenager in London the 90s LL Bean was definitely a brand on my radar, most likely thanks to CB. ❤

[@risk5riskmks93]

You are incredibly insightful. Thank you for such a comprehensive summary. My guess is that the L.L. Bean tote (the brand is very much of the preppy New England kind of fusty genre) was simply because she was at the beach and sailing, so it would withstand the water and salt air. The minimalist luxury philosophy requires that beautiful quality items are cared for, so she would never have taken a leather bag out on the water. Again, I enjoyed your video so much.

[@MarysRoom]

Adore Vivienne Westwood! She was one of the first designers that got me into fashion when I was younger. Thank you so much for watching💕

I absolutely loved her style. IMO it was very Jackie Kennedy, streamlined but updated. Stealth wealth.

Great video, I saw pictures that I didn’t see in other videos on CBK’s style.

I've definitely saved them for style inspo!
