Inspired by this, women flocked to CO Bigelow, a pharmacy founded in 1838, for just one item. It’s a tortoiseshell headband. This led to a 12,600 percent spike in the search term “Carolyn Bessette style outfits” on Pinterest from March 2025 to March 2026, according to the platform’s internal data. And it sparked an impromptu JFK Jr. lookalike contest in New York City’s Washington Square Park, with seven men vying for the title of “biggest hunk.” Appeared in a Macy’s photo shoot For labels such as Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, and Brooks Brothers.

Even though the show ended on March 26th, it continues to captivate viewers, and shows them everything from the clothes they’re currently shopping for. restaurant They decide to visit often. Another unlikely result of the instant virality of “Love Story” (which became the talk of FX) Most-watched limited series of all time (on Hulu and Disney+)? Shoppers are rushing to pick up rare copies of George, a magazine co-founded by the man of the hour, John F. Kennedy Jr., which first hit stores in 1995 and ultimately ceased publication in 2001, several years after the Kennedy heir’s tragic death.

The magazine begins to be mentioned in the second episode of Love Story, in which viewers get a sense of the hurdles JFK Jr. had to overcome to get his vision (political, but basically sexy) off the ground. We also quickly meet Michael J. Berman, the other founder of this title. He is a businessman who attended Brown University with Kennedy and ends up selling his stake in “George” after persistent and bitter disagreements (power imbalances, differing editorial visions). The first issue, in which Cindy Crawford appeared as George Washington, as the magazine’s name suggests, was a huge hit, fueled by so much advertising that business partners didn’t know what to do with it. The screen flaunts several original “George” covers, including one with Drew Barrymore cosplaying as Marilyn Monroe, with the caption “Happy Birthday, Mr. President.”

More than 30 years after its initial release, it’s no surprise that George is hitting the charts again, reaching a whole new audience (who treat it as coveted “love story” merchandise).

And on Amazon, third-party sellers often jack up the prices of memorabilia to more than $800.

Elizabeth Dole, former Alabama Governor George Wallace, and Marion Hammer, the first female president of the National Rifle Association), there’s no time to waste, as the magazine’s online supply is currently very limited. This is part of the reason for its high price.

The buzz surrounding “love stories” may fade, but magazines that are “more than just politics” will remain forever.
