‘Mormon Wives’ Star McCall DaPron Faces Backlash Over JFK Halloween Costume

McCall DaPron is facing backlash after his family’s controversial Halloween 2026 costume sparked criticism online.

The social media personality, who is set to star in the Orange County spinoff of “The Secret Life of Mormon Wives,” shared a sneak peek of her family’s spooky looks during the season in an Instagram post Thursday.

In the photos, McCall, 36, dressed as Jackie Kennedy, sporting a pink mini skirt and matching blazer while carrying a bouquet of red roses, while her husband, Kirk DaPron, played former President John F. Kennedy.

The couple appeared to recreate the outfits worn by the former first lady and the president on the day of his assassination.

Their 8-year-old daughter, McCartney, was dressed as Caroline Kennedy, while their 2-year-old son, Banks, played John F. Kennedy Jr.

Their other children, Monroe, 11, and Truman, 4, completed the family’s look as Secret Service agents.

“Happy Halloween 🩷 The Kennedys,” McCall captioned the post.

Although comments on the post have since been disabled, that didn’t stop social media users from sharing their thoughts on the family’s ensembles before the feature was disabled.

One commenter called the looks “terribly unpleasant,” while another wrote, “(You) dressed up as a woman on the scariest day of her life…” according to People.

McCall isn’t the first celebrity to face backlash over her controversial look.

Julia Fox sparked criticism last year after dressing as Jackie Kennedy in the same pink outfit, even though her version was covered in blood.

Social media users called the costume “disturbing” and in “bad taste,” with some saying “tragedy is not a costume.”

Jackie’s grandson Jack Schlossberg also spoke out about Fox’s costume at the time, expressing his outrage in a message to X.

“Julia Fox glorifying political violence is disgusting, desperate and dangerous,” he wrote in part.

Fox, 36, later defended the look, insisting it was not a costume but rather a “statement” of “protest” and “mourning.”
