Controversy at Pope Francis's Funeral: World Leaders' Alleged Disrespect Unveiled
The publicized event at Vatican City informed the men attending that they were required to wear a dark suit with a long black tie and white shirt. Shoes, long socks, coats, and umbrellas also needed to be black.
- World leaders were criticized for breaking dress code policies at Pope Francis’ funeral.
- Critics questioned the focus on attire over the Pope’s commemoration.
- Pope Francis had always advocated peace and reason amid recent global conflicts.
However, Zelensky did not wear a tie while Biden opted for a blue one. The president of the United States came in a blue suit and a blue tie, adorning the set with a pin of the American flag.

All three have been labeled “disrespectful” by those online, seeing as many of the gathered mourners followed the dress code down to the exact color.
Some people said Trump practically stood out “like a sore thumb” amongst other world leaders.
One person named Alison Graham asked, “Why is Trump the only male world leader who is wearing a blue suit? Has he no sense of appropriacy? Shame on him.”
Another user frowned, “Did he not have a black suit? At least a dark blue one? Where is the respect?”

A netizen additionally pointed out Trump wasn’t alone in breaking the dress code.
“[Prince William] was indeed in a dark blue suit, coupled with a black tie,” someone wrote. “Joe Biden, presumably in a personal capacity but still a former president, also wore a blue suit and his tie was almost sky blue,” before adding that Trump “wasn’t the only one to ‘break conventions.’”
