Fashion critic Vanessa Friedman argued that while Trump&#8217;s outfit did not strictly violate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ballerina-goes-viral-for-video-of-brown-ballet-shoes\/\" title=\"Ballerina Goes Viral For Video Of Brown Ballet Shoes\">dress code<\/a>, it served to emphasize his defiance of traditional norms. Other reports, though, pointed out that several attendees also wore suits of different colors, suggesting that Trump&#8217;s choice was not as outlandish as portrayed. The narrative raised questions about media bias against Trump, asserting that the criticism might stem from a long-standing anti-Trump sentiment among certain outlets. The article concludes by emphasizing that there was no <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">explicit dress code provided<\/a> by the Vatican, indicating that attendees had the discretion to choose their attire.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The New York Times, along with multiple other outlets, chastised President Donald Trump for allegedly breaking the Vatican&rsquo;s dress code for Pope Francis&rsquo;s funeral on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The featured image of their story was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/26\/world\/europe\/trump-pope-francis-funeral-blue-suit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cropped<\/a> in such a way as to suggest that Trump was the only leader in a blue suit at the event.<\/p>\n<p>The Times&rsquo; chief fashion critic, Vanessa Friedman, wrote that President Emmanuel Macron of France, Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Great Britain, and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy all wore black.<\/p>\n<p>But, &ldquo;Mr. Trump?

Friedman also mentioned that Prince William wore a navy suit but failed to highlight that other attendees also chose blue outfits. She suggested Trump&#8217;s attire was an attempt to attract attention; however, many others were similarly dressed in non-black suits as well.
