On August 15th, the British auction house Bonhams will hold its “Pioneers of Pop Culture” sale. One of the big-ticket items on offer? A triple-strand fake-pearl necklace originally owned by none other than Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The champagne-colored “pearls,” which fasten with a faux diamond and emerald clasp, are expected to sell for upwards of $40,000, although a jewelry expert at Bonham’s acknowledged that the high price is due almost entirely to cachet conferred by the former First Lady. “The triple-strand necklace on its own would be worth at most in the very low hundred (pounds),” Jean Ghika said. “It’s fair to say that 99.9% of the value is because they belonged to Jackie Kennedy.”

Katie Holmes has been tapped to play Jacqueline Kennedy in the History Channel’s new miniseries The Kennedys. With her cropped bob, demure smile and penchant for classic fashion (not to mention her experience playing wife to a famously handsome man), we can easily see Holmes slip into the role of the iconic First Lady. She will star alongside Greg Kinnear as President John F. Kennedy Jr. in the 8-hour series, which is set to premiere sometime in 2011. Click on to see Katie Holmes channeling Jackie O’s famous style.

Rachel Weisz has been tapped to play iconic First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in an upcoming biopic, Jackie. The film, which will be produced and directed by Weisz’s fiancee Darren Aronofsky, follows Jackie during the four days in 1963 between President Kennedy’s assassination and burial. No details about the movie’s release are yet available, but one thing is for sure: We can’t wait for Weisz’s performance—or her costumes.
