Carolyn Bessette Kennedy Remembered in Pictures
Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Celebrity
It's hard even now to look at pictures of John and Carolyn -- both young, attractive, vibrant and full of the promise of things to come.
Accurately, much was made of Carolyn's timeless style. Even here, in these never-before-published photographs from her Boston University days, you can see how comfortable she was in her own skin and how she understood what flattered.
She later grew into a more polished version of that college girl, very befitting for her role as publicity director at Calvin Klein, but her own classic style always shone through.
Click through the below gallery for more of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's iconic style.

I am in love and his name is Mr. Power Colon Cleanse http://tinyurl.com/PowerColonCleanse ! This is by far the best cleansing product available. I saw it on Oprah and thought I would give it a try. Power Colon Cleanse has pretty much changed the way I live my life. My daily chores are done in a breeze and I have more energy, not to mention more time in my day since I don't mind jumping out of bed in the mornings at 7:00 am now. This is not just a cleanser. It is also a detox. I can feel it working and have only been using it for 6 weeks.

No, "beauty", she is not "single again now"....She's dead! So I highly doubt she was posting on that idiotic, loser website! This is a story of a young life cut tragically short, how sad that you people have so little respect for that as you post your ads for date sites and colon cleansing!

Not bloody likely, considering she's been DEAD for 10 years! MAN, I hate spamers! John and Carolyn Kennedy were beautiful people, and their deaths, along with her sister's death were very sad. One can't help but feel sorry for the Kennedy family....so many tragedies and young deaths.

Yes, she was a beauty. Lovely, classic, simple, elegant, and unique. Definitely nice to see someone who doesn't alter their unique features. Also, she was a fantasticly classic dresser. She really knew what to wear... It's too bad she isn't around to give Michelle Obama some much needed pointers about dressing for one's own personal success. MO looks ridiculous most of the time. Does not dress is a what that compliments her figure or stature, physically or otherwise. Most of the time, her daughters look more mature than her. Oh... and don't get me started on her under the boob belts!!!!!???? What is up with that look? Please someone help her. She's the "Emperor's Got New Clothes" and no one wants to tell her the truth. The only think I think she's gotten right are her sheath style (fitted) dresses.

even dead "celebrities" get a break..heres the lead pic and she looks like a normal person..ofcourse because she was a "celeb" they write how she came across as a "polished woman of the world"..if they gave the same reviewer the same picture and told them it was a picture of Jane Doe the reviewer would say there was nothing distinguishable about the girl.....man i hate phoney hogwash like this...

Really now?? It says that she grew into a polished woman, not that she was. The last pictures of her here are as a polished woman of the world. Next time you decide to try and bash on someone, try reading a little closer first.

She must of had great promise. She was refered to as an Iconic style nothing could be further from the truth. She was starting out, she didn't last til the water got hot, bless her. As for Calvin when he sold the company and now they have a team of designers the quality of even the collection pieces have gone down the shirts rip very easily. The sports line is boring. Some of the boutique stores have closed even the first one in Dallas, Texas. So sad but financially he bailed at the right time.

No Beauty is right. Her sister was more beautiful. I sure didn't think Carolyn was pretty. She even looked mean. John deserved a gorgeous wife. His mother was also gorgeous, as was he!

JFK Jr. was flying at night, over open water while he was wearing a cast on his leg.

The cast was removed the day before the flight.

Patrick, are you trying to say "they are" or "they're"? Otherwise, your post is nonsense.
sweetpea 7-16-2009 @ 5:02PM
I don't think their dead either.
MrsD 7-16-2009 @ 4:08PM
I agree John, lol. So many people don't have the knowledge to know which form to use!
There = as "It's over there on the table"
They're = "They are" as in "They are going out"
Their = Belongs, as in, "That is their house"
ok people?
Hugh 7-16-2009 @ 8:48PM
And for you, numbnuts, here's a tip:
there - (adverb) in or at that place. (as opposed to here)
they're - contraction of "they are".
their - (pronoun) a form of the possessive case of they used as an attributive adjective, before a noun: their home; their rights as citizens; their departure for Rome.
As in, " There are way too many people who can't get their homonyms straight, and they're pissing me off."
