What Trump Got Wrong—and Zelensky Got Right—at Pope Francis’ Funeral
That’s because, unlike almost all of the other assembled guests—from the British prime minister, Keir Starmer, to Abdullah II, king of Jordan—the 47th president of the United States wasn’t wearing black. In a sea of dark worsted wool, Trump’s sapphire blue suit and matching tie made him stand out like a guy sitting courtside in full Celtics gear at a Lakers home game.

Trump’s Blue Suit at Pope’s Funeral Draws Attention
On Saturday, as he joined other world leaders to pay his respects to Pope Francis, he stood in St. Peter’s Square among President Emmanuel Macron of France (who was wearing black), Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain (in black), President Javier Milei of Argentina (in black) and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy (in black).
Mr. Trump? He was wearing blue.
And not even dark, midnight blue, but a clear, sapphire-like blue, with matching tie. Amid all the black and Cardinal red, it popped out like a sign.

Funeral etiquette: Was Trump's blue suit a diplomatic and fashion blunder at pope's funeral?
As world leaders gathered at St Peter's Basilica to bid farewell to Pope Francis on Saturday, Donald Trump's choice of outfit stood out.
While other world leaders were dressed in black, the US president broke from the Vatican's strict dress code for papal funerals with his blue suit and a light blue tie.
Indeed, funeral protocols for the Vatican call for men to wear a dark suit with a black tie and a black lapel button.
American criminal defence attorney and former state and federal prosecutor Ron Filipkowski took to X to comment: "One guy shows up in a blue suit to the pope's funeral. You will never guess who" - a clear jab at Trump.
