Months after being scolded for not wearing a suit, the Ukrainian president finally had his lighthearted comeback. During a joint press conference with U.S. President Donald Trump, reporter Brian Glenn praised his black outfit. Trump joked, “He’s the one that attacked you last time.”
Zelenskyy, smiling, replied, “You’re in the same suit… You see, I changed. You did not.” The remark quickly spread online, sparking both laughter and debate. One supporter said, “You look good in anything you wear.” Another called the exchange “embarrassing.”
For many, Zelenskyy’s clothing is more than fashion. Journalist Illia Ponomarenko explained it sends a symbolic message. “He dresses like ordinary Ukrainians fighting this war. It shows he represents his people.”
Meanwhile, Trump faced his own headlines after walking with a zigzag stride during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The unusual gait stirred speculation, but the White House confirmed he has a common, age-related vein condition.
From humor to health, both leaders showed the world that appearances can spark big conversations. What do you think matters more—style or substance?
