Melania and Donald Trump attended Pope Francis’s funeral on April 26, 2025, where Francis was laid to rest outside the Vatican, fulfilling his wish. Donald wore a blue suit, which sparked criticism, while Melania opted for a traditional black outfit with a mantilla veil.
Pope Francis passed away on April 21 at 88, known for his humility and progressive vision. He chose to live modestly and never considered resigning despite health issues.
The funeral drew around 400,000 mourners, including many global leaders. In line with his wishes, Francis was buried at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, marked simply as “Franciscus.”
Melania’s elegant Dolce & Gabbana ensemble received praise, though some criticized her high heels. Following the event, conspiracy theories about a body double emerged, but experts dismissed these claims as unlikely.
