That doesn't even look like a black tie, and the blue isn't even navy. Did his people ring Trump's people and ask what he was going to wear and deliberately copy him.

He really does look like a character in a comedy who bears an uncanny resemblance to the prime minister & has inadvertently been mistaken for him and been whisked away to foreign engagements even though he’s not quite the same size & none of the clothes fit.
I'm not big on clothes, as you would realise if you ever saw me in person
What I see instead is a man wondering if he will be damned to hell for eternity by cosplaying respect for the Head of Global Demonic Possession as defined by his fundamentalist prosperity gospel church
Yes! Too long in the leg so the fabric all bunches up over his shoes and always the jacket is couple of inches too tight which resuls in a straining button. Admittedly he's an odd shape but surely he can afford a tailor. I'm not exactly a snappy dresser but none of this is rocket science!
What bugs me more is the stupid silver fern pin, which should have been taken off. He could also get the trouser legs shortened - $30 at my local mall.
What a disgrace. And his toes are perilously close to being on the carpet, where it's a no-go zone (Trump and Melania stood on the carpet). When you're supposed to be representing your country somewhere where other leaders are present, you should at least follow protocols.
He looks like a child wearing an off the rack suit his mum bought a size too big because “you’ll grow into it”, except his jacket is far too small. Get a tailor. You’re the damn prime minister, apparently, of a first world country.
What I'd say is that the Pope was a very wealthy man who has therefore gone straight to heaven because money is the physical manifestation of God's love. So, you see, this is a happy day, why mourn?
they asked for “dark” suits with black tie - Prince William also wore blue suit, black tie. Trump wore blue suit, blue tie - dress code is strict but these men should all have just sucked it up and gone for safe black - unless they wanted to stand out?
Absolutely mortifying that our PM shared that faux pas with Shitler. Both can definitely afford another suit, both are arrogant pieces of shit who are completely clueless.
The Vatican specifically asked for black suits, he's not Trump, he could have gone and bought a black suit, he could have put it on the taxpayer credit card; what the fuck is wrong with him?!
I’d even forgive a terribly fitting black suit that had obviously been hastily purchased for the occasion (though really what man in his position travels without a black suit for formal occasions?).
He looks like he's stepped in after a long day selling used cars. Fucks sake. Use some of the profit you made setting your extra houses to buy a suit that fits.
Isn’t Italy nearby? Where the best-dressed people in the world live? Send someone to get you a damn suit, for goodness sake. What’s the use of having so much money at your fingertips if you don’t have the initiative to match?

What an embarrassment

Probably.
I used to run an airline.
Right, so blue then?
It’s an international airline you know.

Others of the more dignified dignitaries stood well back, respectfully.

It is his neck and head that is too big.

And…. not big on criticising what women wear, but that’s an interesting choice for sure… why on earth would she need a ginormous cream shopping bag?
