Eternal fashion icon: How Jackie O's style is living on through her daughter and granddaughter

There aren’t many celebrities who can reach the level of style icon quite like Jackie Kennedy Onassis can.

The former US first lady, who was in the White House from 1961-1963, was responsible for the fashion trends during the ‘60s with her chic aesthetic and signature style.

Often opting for large sunglasses and Gucci handbags, the wife of JFK became a name in her own right, and now, almost 25 years after her passing, her daughter, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, and granddaughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, have carried on her legacy.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday, fashion designer Valentino Garavanni shared three images side-by-side of each of the women wearing the exact same Valentino dress.

The emerald green gown features a fitted waist, ruffled sleeves and an abstract print. The dress was first worn by Jackie in 1972, then by Caroline in 2010 and Tatiana in 2018.

The Italian designer was particularly close to the former First Lady as she was spotted wearing a number of his designs throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s. She also walked down the aisle in Valentino in 1968 during her wedding to Greek shipping tycoon, Aristotle Onassis.
