At Pope Francis’s funeral at the Vatican, Melania Trump drew praise for her respectful black dress and lace veil, honoring Catholic tradition. In contrast, Donald Trump faced criticism for wearing a blue suit instead of the expected black attire, sparking debate online about decorum and symbolism.

The funeral, attended by global leaders including Emmanuel Macron and Justin Trudeau, served as a rare moment of unity despite political differences. Trump and Melania sat in the front row and later met privately with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for what the White House called a “productive discussion.”
