Images of the event show him flanked by Melania Trump and other heads of state, demonstrating some contrast within his fashion choices. 

Melania wore a black outfit from the Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana, a reference to the location and its history. Other heads of state present in the image include King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain, France's President Emmanuel Macron, Poland's President Andrzej Duda, and more. They were all wearing black.

The Vatican is a place known for its strict rules, with members of the clergy making for an impressive sight as they wore the necessary regalia. According to Fortune Magazine, the Vatican issued a strict all-black dress code for its guests. 

"For men, it dictated dark suits with white shirts and long black ties," reads the publication. "Shoes, long socks, coats, and umbrellas were also specified to be black to mark the occasion." 

In the case of women, they were advised to wear "long black dresses, black closed-toe shoes, gloves, and a veil." Melania and Jill Biden adhered strictly to these rules.

Did other people wear blue? 

While the online conversation is centered on Trump, other male guests also wore blue, including Prince William, who rounded out his outfit with a black tie, King Abdullah, and President Joe Biden. 

Their outfits were darker than Trump's but still within the navy blue range.
