Ever since the release of Ryan Murphy'sLove Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, everyone has beentrying to dresslike the late CBK, in part thanks to the performance bySarah Pidgeon, who completely embodies the former fashion publicist through her uniquely chic fashion sense.
As a wink to the series, and to the current Carolyn Bessette Kennedy craze, Pidgeon showed up to theVanity FairOscars after-partylast night in a dress courtesy of Calvin Klein Collection—because what better choice is there? (Bessette Kennedy famously worked at Calvin Klein before her marriage to JFK Jr.)

Her spaghetti strap maxi was covered in silvery sequins and crystals, creating a shimmering, crunchy texture like a pile of diamonds had been glued all over her body. In the front, a seam ran down the dress, giving the effect that it had been wrapped around her, and at the top, a piece of the fabric even folded down like the corner of a page, further selling the wrap illusion.
To match her dress, Pidgeon carried a silver metalOne Clutchfrom creative director Veronica Leoni's Fall 2025 collection for the house, inspired by the shape of the CK One perfume bottle. She also wore a pair of cream strappy sandal heels to round things out.
Earlier this month, inBazaar's interviewwith Pidgeon and herLove Storycostar, Paul Anthony Kelly, she talked about how she embodied Bessette Kennedy on the series. "So much of Carolyn is this vibe; it's this essence," Pidgeon said. "There is a shared sense of people's understanding of her. In the show, our interpretation really examines parts of her life that aren't as familiar to the public. But there was always this sense of a vibe check—this is my attitude, my energy, my intuition—that I think of when I think of Carolyn."
