- The Vatican had a strict all-black dress code for Pope Francis’s funeral Saturday. President Donald Trump wore a blue suit instead. He wasn't alone, however. Many people in the crowd also wore blue suits, and several world leaders, including former President Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, also deviated from the norm in their own ways.
Some of the most powerful people in the world descended on Vatican City early Sunday to attend the funeral of Pope Francis, who died April 21 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 specified to be black to mark the occasion.
