Capturing the essence of American royalty is no small task.

Over the weekend, Ryan Murphy teased a first glimpse of his upcoming “American Love Story” series, which will explore the romance between JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.

Their tragic 1999 plane crash turned their love story into legend. They were celebrated for their distinctive fashion, with Bessette’s wardrobe remaining iconic decades later.

Fans were quick to comment on her look, noting her hair was much too light compared to Bessette’s signature blond. They also pointed out missing accessories like her tortoiseshell headband and the flat handbag.

Many fans expressed disappointment, noting her wardrobe did not reflect Bessette’s authentic style but rather a generic 90s minimalist aesthetic. Experts pointed out her hair coloring, accessories, and overall styling were not true to her legacy.

Meanwhile, fans praised the portrayal of JFK Jr., with comments saying the costume design captured his iconic vintage aesthetic perfectly.
