Resurfaced Photos of Carolyn Bessette With Surprising A-Listers Paints Her in a Whole New Light

While Carolyn Bessette is known as the fashion icon who has inspired so many even decades after her death, and is known for being one half of the legendary romance between her and JFK Jr, there’s more to her. Now, here’s the thing: not much is known about her since she never spoke publicly or did an interview when she was alive. Heck, not much is known about her before she and JFK Jr got together.

Many assumed she was an ice Queen since she evaded the paparazzi whenever she could, but that’s unfair for numerous reasons. For one thing, the paparazzi made it impossible for her to go anywhere without being mobbed, and secondly: the resurfaced photos of her before marrying JFK Jr show a completely different side of her: a social butterfly who brushed elbows with A-listers.

Bessette was often seen at events for Calvin Klein, since she was a PR exec for the fashion brand. And along with eventually meeting JFK JR at one of these events down the line, she hung out with A-listers like Friends star Jennifer Aniston, Kate Moss, and Kelly Klein, to name a few.

Not only do these resurfaced photos show the true Bessette, being social and happy, but it further prove the claims that she was quite a social butterfly before being a Kennedy. It also shows how high-up she was in the company.

According to the New York Times, the traveling sales coordinator of Calvin Klein, Susan Sokol, personally recommended Bessette to work with the brand’s high-profile clients, like Annette Bening, Diane Sawyer, and Aniston (and it looked like she thrived in this position)!

To further prove our point that not all was as it seemed with Bessette, per a previous report from the same New York Times piece, insiders claimed that back in high school, she was a part of the “in crowd” and attended “all the right parties.”
