Kyra LeMoyne Kennedy
Kyra LeMoyne Kennedy was born in Massachusetts on August 22, 1995, and is RFK Jr’s fourth child and his second child with his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy who tragically passed away in 2012.
Throughout her life, Kyra has navigated the challenges and privileges of being part of the Kennedy family, balancing public scrutiny with her personal and professional aspirations. She has been involved in various social and fashion circles as well as having pursued a career in acting.
Kyra became part of a social circle known as "The Snap Pack," which included other notable figures such as Gaia Matisse, Peter Brant Jr., and Tiffany Trump. This group was recognized for their active presence on social media platforms like Snapchat and Instagram, often sharing glimpses of their affluent lifestyles.
Fashion, Social Engagements and Education:
​
Fashion has long been a passion for Kyra: In 2002 she made her first notable public appearance at the Annual Mint Jubilee, accompanied by her father. Then in 2013, at the age of 18, Kyra made her society debut at Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris, wearing a baby blue gown from Dior, a brand where she had previously interned. She has also interned with American designer Kenneth Cole.
In 2014 Kyra pursued her passion for fashion by enrolling at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, aiming for a career in design.
​
Social Media Controversy - After the loss of her Mom Kyra appears to have gone through a bit of a rough patch leading to a 2016 social media controversy when she was accused of cyberbullying Allie Jones, a writer for New York Magazine's "The Cut." Jones had written about the "Snap Pack," and Kyra reportedly responded with aggressively negative comments on Jones's Instagram posts. Following the incident, her father, (Robert F. Kennedy Jr.), intervened and instructed Kyra to shut down all her social media accounts, emphasizing that their family does not condone bullying. The incident appears to have had a powerful maturing affect as well as forming stronger family bonds.
Personal Life:
Kyra maintains an active presence on Instagram under the handle @mskyrakennedy, where she shares her fashion interests, travel experiences, and moments from her personal life. As of now, she has over 34,000 followers and frequently attends major fashion events, including those hosted by brands like Gucci, Versace, and Fendi.
Modeling and Career Pursuits:
Kyra has ventured into modeling, making her debut in May 2016 by posing for her friend Andrew Warren's clothing line during New York Fashion Week.
She is currently represented by Next Models in Milan, Italy, and continues to pursue opportunities in the fashion industry.
I really have no idea at all if these AI simulations will offend her sense of fashion or not - as that's a field I really know like nothing about. Apologies if they do though. :)
Kyra's entry into acting has so far included appearances in productions such as "Roman Candle" (2021) and an episode of "Blue Bloods" in its ninth season.
She has also been involved in theater, participating in productions like "Gypsy" at the Sharon Playhouse and "Spring Awakening" at The Beck Center.
Kyra's journey reflects her efforts to carve out her own identity within the illustrious Kennedy family, focusing on her passions for fashion and design.
