Algeria State Visit 1962

By Steve Brawley

Pink was the "new black" for sure during the fall of 1962. Jackie again wore the pink suit - this time on October 15 during the state arrival ceremony for the King of Algeria.

She would wear it a few days later during a visit by another head of state - the Maharaja of Jaipur.

In these charming pictures, she makes sure that John Jr. has a good view of the event. He loved all of the military goings on.

Jackie and President Kennedy created the South Lawn arrival ceremonies for heads of state during their administration.
