As Trudeau arrived at the Senate Chamber, however, the politician turned heads with his shocking fashion choice. He wore a blue suit paired with a teal and orange pair of Adidas running shoes.
On social media, many royal fans were indignant on King Charles' behalf.
One X user declared, "Totally disrespectful ~ Trudeau is a clown."
Another critic wrote via X, "This is how the Trudeau's showed up for the King's throne speech. Margaret #Trudeau looked awful and look at Justin's shoes. No class."
Someone else speculated, "Justin Trudeau wore those shoes on purpose so the world would talk about him again."
Meanwhile, a different X user commented, "Of course he did.. what an embarrassment."
Still, one person pointed out, "Everyone is pissed off at @JustinTrudeau for not wearing formal shoes to [Throne] Speech. but the man is retired He's not longer the PM he retired."
Another unbothered X user shared, "The number of people commenting on Trudeau's choice of footwear. Those are actually bada-- Adidas Gazelles and I love that colour combo. I've always been partial to green."
In January, Trudeau announced his resignation as prime minister, effective once another leader was elected. Mark Carney was selected as his replacement in March, and Trudeau officially resigned after serving since 2015.

DUP says Sinn Féin's silence 'deafening' over bonfire
The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has accused Sinn Féin of a "deafening" silence over plans for a republican bonfire on private land in Londonderry, which has stalled work on a £11m development. Last week, a man needed hospital treatment after he fell from the bonfire which is under construction at Meenan Square in the Bogside. The site is managed by Apex Housing, which has had to delay work on a project because it cannot find a contractor willing to remove the bonfire materials. Assembly member Gary Middleton said there was a "void of political leadership from Sinn Féin in the Bogside" over the bonfire, which has sparked controversy in recent years. Sinn Féin has been asked for comment. Last year, police said they were treating the display of flags and banners - including union flags, a King Charles coronation flag and the flag of Israel - on the bonfire in the Bogside as a hate crime. In 2022, police investigated shots being fired near the site and in 2021 posters placed on the bonfire referenced former Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Chief Constable Simon Byrne and another the murder of Catholic police officer Ronan Kerr. "This bonfire has been a source of serious concern for some time, causing disruption, raising safety fears and delaying an £11 million publicly-funded redevelopment project," Middleton said. "That investment is being stalled because not a single contractor is willing to go near the site to remove materials, citing threats and safety risks. "It is time they [Sinn Féin] stepped up and made clear this situation is unacceptable." Injured man transferred to Belfast hospital Last Wednesday evening, a man was seriously hurt after falling from the bonfire. The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) confirmed that a man was taken to hospital. The injured man was treated for undisclosed injuries at Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry, before being transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. Apex Housing has declined to comment but previously said it was continuing to re-secure boundary fencing and gates following repeated incidents of "forced entry" at the site. The £11m development will include social housing, community services, retail, commercial and office space. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said it was committed to working with partners, including local councils and community representatives, to address community safety issues linked to bonfires. Derry City and Strabane District Council said, while it does not authorise or regulate bonfires, it does engage with a wide range of partners to minimise the impact on communities. A spokesperson said it would continue to liaise with the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) regarding the storage and disposal of tyres and other materials which may be placed on bonfires. Speaking generally on issues connected to bonfires on Tuesday, Justice Minister Naomi Long said safety should always be paramount. "I don't think that bonfires in the main have to be problematic," Long said. "I think if people are willing to make sure they are safe and respectful, and they are in proportion to where they are and that they are legal, then in many cases they will pass off without incident. "Where we have real trouble is where we either get violence connected to the bonfire or we get accidents where people fall from a great height. "If you were scaling a building, you would have health and safety in place, you would have to wear a harness, there would be scaffolding and yet you see young people climbing what are taller than some buildings," she added. Why is the bonfire being lit? Bonfires on 15 August are traditional in some nationalist parts of Northern Ireland to mark the Catholic Feast of the Assumption. Some bonfires are also lit in August to commemorate the introduction of internment without trial of republican suspects during the Troubles, which was introduced by the UK Government in 1971.

11 sport shorts and summer shoe outfit ideas to nail the cool girl and celebrity-approved athleisure trend
It's official, everyone is wearing sports shorts right now. Even if they're not heading to the gym. Actually, make that *especially* if they're not heading to the gym, by pairing the athletic staple with broderie anglaise blouses, oversized tailored blazers and footwear far from appropriate for tackling a treadmill. So even if you've never stepped foot inside a Fitness First, there's no reason to rule this trend out as not for you. Or for me! I've always identified more as Posh Spice, with my football-playing, tomboy sister taking up the mantle of Mel C's Sporty persona, but this didn't stop me from envying the striped Adidas shorts she wore with a laid-back ease while we were growing up. A sentiment I instantly experienced again when I spotted photos of Zoë Kravitz out in New York last week wearing a slogan t-shirt with tiny black sports shorts. Yep, I am just as captivated by the athleisure look in 2025 as I was back then. However, while any successful attempt at borrowing (read: smuggling out of her room without her knowledge) my sister's sports shorts never ended in me wearing them for fear I couldn't pull them off, this summer there's no shortage of style inspiration to curate the perfect sports shorts outfit. I'm convinced the key to nailing the look lies in what shoes you style your gym shorts with. Whether you opt for black leather heeled mules à la Zoë, channel Hailey Bieber in her signature socks and loafers combo, or choose one of the endless number of sandal trends around this szn. Below, I've rounded up all the different outfit formulas worth replicating so anyone and everyone can pull off the sports shorts trend with ease! No need to thank me. Flip flops are easily the shoe of the summer. Whether you elevate the look with a heeled style or stick to a more comfortable pair, we're adding this 'fit straight into our summer holiday wardrobe. A loafer instantly smartens up athletic shorts. And, when it comes to the generational sock debate, we're definitely all for the visible ankle sock look. Sorry, not sorry. Luckily, even if you're anti-socks, the formula holds up. We love this cinched-in button-down shirt, sports shorts and loafers ensemble. The layered necklace stack takes it from good to great. Balance the masculinity of basketball shorts with uber-feminine kitten heels, like these OTT bow-adorned slingbacks. So cool! Yep, we love introducing a little contradiction into an outfit. Take this frilly blouse and block-heel boot look paired with classic sports shorts. Again, don't overlook the accessories, from the scrunchie to the boho beaded necklace. Recreating ASAP! Of course, sports shorts still work with their obvious counterpart. We like how this Fashion Week attendee colour-blocked her shorts and trainers to keep it feeling fresh and interesting. Lean into balletcore – because yes, dance *is* a sport – with a pair of ballet pumps. Leg warmers, optional. Thought you couldn't wear sports shorts out to dinner and drinks? Guess again. Sticking to black gym shorts with a coordinating blazer and very evening-coded heeled sandals makes a chic AF outfit. For a more subtle sporty take, try some skater-esque slip-ons with an oversized denim jacket and a leather shoulder bag. Still cute, but a little bit edgy, too. Even if you do dress head-to-toe in athleisure-wear, an unexpected shoe like gold wedge sandals sets this look apart. We're still loving cowboy boots and Western-core lovers will be pleased to hear they totally work with your sports shorts. Follow Alex on Instagram.

Camilla finds my royal tattoos ‘hilarious', says superfan
The Queen met a royal superfan who has endured hours of pain being inked with tattoos dedicated to the monarchy. Camilla joked with Phil Smith when he showed her his latest body art by sticking out his left leg covered in royal monograms. The two met at the annual Sandringham Flower Show where the King and Queen toured the exhibition tents viewing winners in flower arranging, vegetable produce and baking Phil Smith, 61, said he first had the late Queen's cypher tattooed on his leg, then above it Charles's monogram followed by Camilla's emblem and then 18 months ago the King and Queen's cyphers entwined were inked on his lower thigh. After showing her the newest tattoo he said: 'She finds it hilarious.' He added: 'That was probably about an hour and a half (to ink), but it was bloody painful'. 'I've been corresponding with the Queen since before they got married – we hit it off.' Hundreds of well-wishers stood behind crash barriers waiting to meet the royal couple with many shouting goodwill messages for Charles, who is receiving ongoing cancer care and who missed the last year's event. The King joked about his appearance after he was complemented on how well he was looking by a number of well-wishers. Maria and Graham Sharples from Spalding, Lincolnshire, who regularly visit the show, called out to the King saying: 'We missed you last year, you look very well.' Mrs Sharples said: 'He came over and said 'it's all done with mirrors'.' Later, Irene Lane shouted to the King: 'Good to see you're back this year, praying for your good health,' and when she repeated the phrase to the Queen, Camilla made the crowd laugh when she said 'touch wood' and tapped her head.
