The Vatican asked Pope Francis funeral attendees to wear all black. Trump wore a blue suit

- The Vatican had a strict dress code for Pope Francis’ funeral Sunday. President Donald Trump did not get the memo. Several other world leaders, including former President Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, also deviated from the norm.
Some of the most powerful people in the world descended on Vatican City early Sunday to attend the funeral of Pope Francis, who died Monday at the age of 88. The Vatican, as it typically does, had a strict dress code for attendees. For men, it dictated dark suits with white shirts and long black ties. Shoes, long socks, coats, and umbrellas were also asked to be black to mark the occasion.
President Donald Trump, however, wore an all-blue suit with an American flag pin on his lapel. He sat in the front row during the event.
For what it’s worth, Trump wasn’t alone in deviating from The Vatican’s dress code. Former President Joe Biden, a devout Catholic, wore a blue tie. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did wear all black, but didn’t don a tie at all.
Women were similarly asked to wear long black dresses, black closed-toe shoes, gloves, and a veil. First Lady Melania Trump wore a pair of black pumps.
