Interesting. Her outfit does look like Jackie's but I really don't think she sees herself as Jackie. She came of age during the Vietnam era and her grandparents, Ike and Maime epitomize the 1950s. Look at the pic of her with Ike and Maime at 2:25 and ask yourself how you would dress and carry yourself if you were her. If anything, the clothes help keep Maime's memory alive I think. She also wrote a book called Mrs. Ike: Memories and Reflections on the Life of Maime Eisenhower (1996, 2002).
