Carolyn Bessette Kennedy established herself as an unparalleled style icon, earning comparisons as, according to Puck: "the most important fashion figure since Jane Birkin, or her mother-in-law, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis." Every look she wore received millions of scrutinizing gazes, even before her tragic death. This intense, decades-long obsession with her precise sartorial choices sets an incredibly high bar for any portrayal, a bar many feel the new series fails to meet.

The depth of the fan frustration highlights Carolyn's unique appeal. "CB-K: an otherworldly beauty, seemingly lit from within, immaculately put together - most assuredly not this," one comment read, underscoring the perceived gap between the real Bessette Kennedy and the series' depiction. Many echoed the sentiment: "She IS a tough act to follow."
Puck fashion correspondent Lauren Sherman weighed in on the controversy, stating that it's possible that the clothing shown is not part of the cast's final costumes, saying her sources tell her: "These images do not represent the American Love Story wardrobe, but were instead lighting and camera tests," she writes. Yet, "for Ryan Murphy and director Max Winkler, the lesson here is that the global obsession with these two people may help them break ratings records, but it is also going to attract a new level of scrutiny."
Fans still demanded higher fidelity: "They did a terrible job recreating her looks. They need to get archive pieces from CK, Prada, Yohji etc." The intense scrutiny shows that for a story about such an iconic, style-defining figure, the clothes are not merely costumes—they are central to the narrative and the audience's emotional connection.
