Justin Trudeau is typically recognized for his preference for novelty socks.
Nevertheless, it was the ex-prime minister’s choice of shoes during King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit that sparked attention on social media platforms.
The 53-year-old Trudeau went to the Senate building for the start of Parliament, and at initial look, his attire seemed appropriate.
The blue outfit was vivid but subtle, complemented by a light blue shirt paired with a dark blue and silver tie to finish off the ensemble.
But the shoes?
Even though casual trainers were quite popular, numerous keyboard warriors believed that the light green suede Adidas Gazelle shoes with orange accents did not fit well within his overall look.
Maybe different color combinations or neutral tones would have been more effective? Perhaps pastel blue like baby or navy, red (come on, Canada! ), yellow, or perhaps a deeper forest green? However, the mint shade didn’t work well with the rest of the design.
Even as we argue over colors, numerous surprised social media users criticized sneakers overall since Trudeau will be meeting royalty and other important figures.
Completely lacking respect,” someone commented. “Trudeau is a jester.
Another commenter on X stated: “Typically self-centered and craving notice, Trudeau opted for green and orange sneakers.”
Another X user mentioned they were “runners who have retired.”
A fourth commented indignantly, “Our society requires observing class and propriety in those who lead us. What has happened to proper attire and behavior these days? Surely they must have counselors advising them?”
They went on: “Trump complained that Zelenskyy wasn’t wearing a tie, yet he had a point. Setting standards and showing respect is something one learns. Today’s society is quite disorganized.”
On Tuesday, the ex-Prime Minister attended the event alongside his mother, Margaret Trudeau.
After taking their seats on the Senate floor, Justin Trudeau’s previous opponent, Stephen Harper, sat to his right.
Charles was invited by Prime Minister Mark Carney to officially launch the new session of Parliament with a distinctive throne speech.
The monarch stated that Canada is at a “crucial juncture” due to the transformation in the global trading system that once fueled its prosperity. They also highlighted that the current state of the world is more “dangerous and unpredictable” compared to any time since the end of World War II.
Since stepping down in January, Trudeau has provided his audience with a look at his life as a solo parent.
In March, he posted a selfie taken at Canadian Tire showing a shopping cart filled with various items.
Trudeau has likewise expressed backing for his 17-year-old offspring, Xavier, as he ventures into a musical journey.
“Thrilled to witness my son @xavtrud chasing his aspirations,” he posted on X earlier this month prior to revealing that the music video for “Back Me Up” has been uploaded to YouTube.
Trudeau has three offspring — Xavier, Ella-Grace who is 16, and Hadrien who is 11 — with Sophie Gregoire Trudeau.
The pair declared their separation in August 2023.
