The Royal and Political Elite was gathered in Rome to say goodbye to Pope Francis – and the Vatican has made clear announcements with regard to the dress code! The first photos of the arrivals show an impressive ranks of queens and first ladies who bend for the strict protocol and are wrapped in deep black.
Especially striking: the mandatory funeral veil that many of the women have chosen. The black veil is traditionally a visible explanation of grief and loss. He indicates the wearer of the deceased and respect for the ceremony externally.
So both the American First Lady Melania Trump, who accompanies her husband Donald, as well as the former First Lady Jill Biden and the Swedish Queen Silvia, the Norwegian crown princess Mette-Marit or Princess Charlène with the modest head cover for the Pontifex box.
Dress code in the Vatican is a strict issue. There are clear rules for senior visitors in the ecclesiastical state at Funerals or Pauses. The following applies to men: Dark Suit, Long Black Tie and an equally black button on the left -hand rack of the jacket. Former US President Joe Biden did not hold on to it and wore a blue draw.
Women must wear a long black dress, black gloves and a headscarf. Only one piece of jewelry is allowed: a pearl necklace around the neck. Pearls are considered a sign of sorrow. Queen Mathilde showed himself with a striking pearl bond.
The visitors are forbidden to wear sleeveless or deeply cut tops. If you wear a skirt, a dress or shorts, it must end up under the knee.
