American Love Story, a new limited series from Ryan Murphy about the marriage of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, is currently being filmed in NYC. The show features Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Naomi Watts as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (Jackie O), with Watts already showcasing Jackie O's iconic style.
Giving us a glimpse of what Jackie O might wear in 2025, Watts was seen on set in an elegant trouser ensemble featuring a silk headscarf, red button-down shirt, beige wide-leg trousers, oversize sunglasses, and brown ballet flats.
What's most interesting is the shoe choice. Instead of Jackie O's usual leather pumps or Jack Rogers sandals, Watts was styled in woven leather flats—a style that feels very 2025. While the shoes have the timeless ballet-flat shape, the woven design adds a touch of modernity and character. And with their visual interest from the texture, they can elevate even a simple pant outfit. With that said, if you're inspired by this Jackie O look, keep scrolling. We've rounded up the perfect pieces to help you re-create the outfit, including the best woven leather ballet flats on the market.
