Katie Holmes - just like Jackie Kennedy - is known for being a fashion icon and is often photographed and complimented for her great style and lovely taste. It is easy to see how she would be chosen for this fashionable role for the History Channel.

Want to look like Jackie Kennedy? You too can recreate this lovely and classic pearl style in your everyday life. Try some of our favorite pearl tips to add a touch of Kennedy's classic pearl style:

Add a single strand of pearls. A choker or princess length of pearls is ideal. While Kennedy often was seen wearing white or ivory pearls, you can update this trend wearing bold and bright South Sea pearls or soft and pastel colored pearls to create your own trend.

Kennedy often matched her accessories. Adding a pair of pearl earrings to her pearl necklace was a "must do." Try classic button or pearl drop earrings for a tasteful touch. These lovely pearl earrings easily carry over into the evenings.

Kennedy's hair was shoulder length yet she always kept it brushed away from her pearl jewelry to best accent her jewelry. Keeping your hair away from your facial features and your ears will help draw attention to your jewelry. Your hair can be long or short, simply pull it away from your face.

Jackie Kennedy - Pearls Collection

One of the top pearl trends Kennedy is known for is having a feminine and classic style. Often she would wear other jewelry and accessories with her pearl jewelry, like her circle pin with her princess length pearl necklace. Be creative and add other types of jewelry that flatter your pearl jewelry easily.

Kennedy seemed most comfortable in classic styles and often would wear pearl jewelry and other jewelry at other times. Taking good care of your pearl jewelry is important. Giving your pearl jewelry good TLC means it will last a long time and you can enjoy it for as long as possible.

Enjoy wearing your pearls! Be sure to catch The Kennedys miniseries for some great pearls & fashion!
