Jackie frequently accompanied her husband on foreign tours due to her interest in other cultures and her fluency in multiple languages. Kennedy once said of his wife on a visit to France: “I do not think it altogether inappropriate to introduce myself…I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it.”

In an undated photo, Jackie sits with characteristic poise in a red dress and red heels. She was the third-youngest first lady, and spread her style throughout 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. “Everything in the White House must have a reason for being there,” she said. “It would be sacrilege merely to ‘redecorate’ it—a word I hate. It must be restored—and that has nothing to do with decoration. That is a question of scholarship.”
