Jacqueline Kennedy is widely regarded as one of the most iconic and scrutinized First Ladies in history. Not only a fashion icon, she consistently ranks high in various lists of influential American First Ladies and admired individuals. Her husband, President John F. Kennedy, even attributed part of his success to her public presence during his campaigns.
Jacqueline’s life was marked by professional achievements, personal hardships, and enduring love for her children, serving as a strong and affectionate role model throughout.
Rose Resembles Jackie
Now a grown woman, her eldest granddaughter is a living homage to her beloved grandmother. A graduate of Harvard, she not only shares her grandmother’s passion for the arts but also bears such a striking resemblance that a double-take is almost required!
These photos speak for themselves – the likeness is truly remarkable!
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier as First Lady
Born on July 28, 1929, in Southampton, New York, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier would later marry the future 35th President of the United States. Before and after her marriage, she was cherished and admired not only as an influential First Lady but also for her successful career as a book editor and her contributions to the arts and historic architecture preservation.

Married to John F. Kennedy on September 12, 1953, Jacqueline had four children, but tragically, only Caroline and John Jr. survived their early years.
Although Jacqueline remarried following her husband’s tragic assassination in 1963, she did not have more children.
Her daughter Caroline, however, blessed her with three grandchildren, and the eldest, Rose, is a perfect mirror image of her grandmother!
Witness it for yourself!
Rose Kennedy Schlossberg
Unlike many of her prominent family members, 34-year-old Rose Kennedy Schlossberg did not venture into politics, though she has supported various campaigns.
Yet, she shares numerous traits with her grandmother.
Besides her striking physical resemblance, Rose and her grandmother share common passions. While attending college, Jacqueline Kennedy wrote for the school newspaper and later received a job offer as a junior editor at Vogue after her studies.
Rose, too, is a gifted writer. After her time at an all-girls private school, she graduated from Harvard in 2010 with a BA in English and crafted her own comedy series called End Times Girls Club.
The series aimed to be a “manual for female-centric apocalypse survival,” as reported by Mashable.
“It stemmed from New York’s response to Hurricane Sandy, highlighting people’s lack of preparedness, particularly girls portrayed in ‘damsel in distress’ fashion,” Rose shared with the publication.

During the special elections in Massachusetts in 2010, Rose actively supported Democrat Alan Khazei’s campaign. She also contributed to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, clearly inheriting the political spirit of her family!
Named after her maternal great-grandmother, Rose Kennedy, she is often likened to her maternal grandmother, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Bond with Grand Jackie and JFK Jr.
Tragically, Jacqueline passed away in 1994 when Rose was only 6 years old. The two shared a close bond during Rose’s early years, with Rose affectionately calling her “Grand Jackie.”
Fortunately, Jacqueline’s legacy lives on through her look-alike granddaughter!
In addition to her grandmother, Rose also shared a deep connection with her uncle and JFK’s eldest son, John F. Kennedy Jr. When JFK Jr. met his untimely demise in a plane crash on July 16, 1999, it deeply impacted Rose.
“He had been like a father to her. She fell into a six-month depression where she hardly talked to anyone. She stopped eating – she must have lost 30 pounds,” shared Kennedy’s biographer, C. David Heymann, in an interview with The Post.
Rose and Rory
In May 2022, Rose tied the knot with restaurateur Rory McAuliffe, as reported by Wikipedia and The National Enquirer. The couple, who met when Rory worked as a caterer at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, have been together for several years.
“Rose has been in a committed relationship with Rory for the past eight years. Caroline, Rose’s mother, adores Rory. He’s an integral part of the family and has been for a while,” a source revealed to The Enquirer in 2021.
Per the magazine and insiders close to the family, Jackie Kennedy gave her blessing to the same-sex marriage.
Upon viewing these photos, one can imagine the late first lady would be immensely proud of all her grandchildren. What an extraordinary legacy!
