The 53-year-old Trudeau attended the Senate building for the opening of Parliament and, on first glance, is outfit appeared fine. The blue suit was bright yet muted, and a pale blue shirt with a navy and silver tie completed the look. But the shoes?

Perhaps other colour combinations or neutral hue could have worked? Maybe baby or navy blue, red (go, Canada!), yellow, or even a darker forest green? The mint shade, however, clashed.

Trudeau's sneakers, hearty laughs and a Canadian football forecast: Lighter moments from the King's visit
It was a warm welcome for King Charles III and Queen Camilla arriving in Ottawa with large crowds gathering at Lansdowne Park. CTV's Stefan Keyes and Katie Griffin report. On Tuesday, King Charles III delivered Canada's speech from the throne – a rare and highly-choreographed event of pomp and pageantry centring the monarch's outline of parliamentary priorities. The speech itself touched on a range of topics, such as Canadian sovereignty and trade relations, an evolving ecosystem of international alliances and challenges 'that are unprecedented in our lifetimes.' But among the moments of monarchical gravity were moments of levity. Here are a few light-hearted highlights from the day. Trudeau's shoes, and a surprise seating plan Former prime minister Justin Trudeau turned heads for a certain fashion choice – a navy suit above a pair of green suede sneakers. The shoes appear to be a pair of Adidas Gazelles in a green and orange colourway. Former prime minister Justin Trudeau's shoes Former prime minister Justin Trudeau's shoes are shown ahead of King Charles delivering the speech from the throne in the Senate in Ottawa on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick British Vogue praised the model last year, even suggesting they deserve a spot among a dynasty of classic-yet-fashion-forward sneakers. 'The Gazelle is just one in a long line of styles to claim their place in the trainer hall of fame: Adidas Stan Smiths, Converse All Stars, Nike Cortezs, Reebok Club C 85s, Adidas Gazelles. Long may they reign,' reads an article published last April. Once he took his seat on the Senate floor, he found himself next to an old rival – Stephen Harper, the former prime minister whom he dethroned in 2015.

Despite a hard-fought campaign nearly a decade ago, the two shared a hearty laugh ahead of the throne speech.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris Young An uncertain Grey Cup forecast After the speech, Prime Minister Mark Carney stepped out onto the Ottawa streets to shake hands with members of the public. He paused when he saw a man who was wearing a blue Winnipeg Bombers hat. 'How are the Bombers going to do?' he asked. 'They're going to the Grey Cup,' the man responded. 'They're going to the Grey Cup?' asked Carney. 'Yeah.' 'Guaranteed?' 'No.' Mark Carney at King's visit Prime Minister Mark Carney speaks to a man who appears to be wearing a Winnipeg Blue Bombers hat outside the Senate on Mary 27, 2025. The group shared a laugh. Carney's football preferences are not well publicized, though Winnipeg fans might have felt slighted by the prime minister's skate with the Edmonton Oilers prior to their game against the Jets in March. On that day, Carney wore an Oilers Jersey branded with No. 24 (Carney is the 24th prime minister of Canada). He grew up in Edmonton, and said last year he's still a fan. Moving on down the line on Tuesday, another person informed him that some of those present work at the Library of Parliament. 'Hey, that's good!' responded the prime minister. 'I don't have anything overdue, yet.'
