Justin Trudeau Was Just Accused of Disrespecting King Charles After His Speech Seemingly Dissing Trump
Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended King Charles' speech at Canada's Parliament, and his fashion statement is turning heads. Some people might go so far as to say that it's the wrong move. Justin Trudeau wore a pair of green Adidas Sambas in the Canadian Parliament chamber when King Charles was delivering his speech. Some political commentators took offense at the act. 'Tactical disrespect from Justin Trudeau who wore green trainers to King's speech – knowing his footwear would be on view to the world. Pathetic attempt to put two fingers (or feet) up at the monarchy?,' journalist Angela Epstein posted on X. More from StyleCaster King Charles Subtly Let His Opinion of Trump Be Known After Their Relationship Took a Dramatic Turn King Charles & Trump's Relationship Takes Dramatic Turn as the Monarch Will Defend His Position 'By Every Means Possible' On the other hand, some people thought that people were overreacting. 'Get ready because the right is about to lose their ever loving mind because Justin Trudeau is not only at the throne speech but wearing the most interesting footwear you wouldn't expect him to wear and I'm just going to sit back and watch with some popcorn,' one person wrote on X. King Charles' speech was strongly rooted in Canada's sovereignty after President Donald Trump's constant suggestions to make the country the 51st state of the USA. 'We must face reality: since the Second World War, our world has never been more dangerous and unstable. Canada is facing challenges that, in our lifetimes, are unprecedented,' Charles said in French, one of Canada's national resigned as Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Party in January 2025. Mark Carney was subsequently voted in. Carney personally invited the King to open Parliament, a feat that hasn't been done by a Monarch since 1977 when Queen Elizabeth took those duties. The King never addressed Trump's name in his delivery, but addressed the fact that 'many Canadians are feeling anxious and worried about the drastically changing world around them.' The Monarch affirmed Canada's sovereignty, saying the 'True North is indeed strong and free.' Charles also mentioned when his mother Queen Elizabeth opened up Parliament in 1957 amid the backdrop of the Cold War and fresh out of World War II, he noted that, 'freedom and democracy were under threat. Today, Canada faces another critical moment.'

Adidas CEO: Company will raise prices due to tariffs, can't make products in US
Iconic sportswear and footwear giant Adidas said Tuesday that the price of all its products will rise in the U.S. due to President Donald Trump's tariffs. "Since we currently cannot produce almost any of our products in the U.S., these higher tariffs will eventually cause higher costs for all our products for the U.S. market," CEO Bjørn Gulden said in a statement on the German company's first quarter results released April 29. The brand, best known for sneakers like the Adidas Sambas and Ultraboosts, sources and manufactures many of its products and product components from countries like China, Vietnam, Indonesia, India and Cambodia. China is currently still saddled with a 145% import tariff, and the others were slated for tariffs ranging from 26% to 49% before Trump's 90-day pause initiated on April 9. In the meantime, the blanket 10% levied against most countries still has an impact on business, Gulden said. "Although we had already reduced the China exports to the U.S. to a minimum, we are somewhat exposed to those currently very high tariffs. What is even worse for us is the general increase in U.S. tariffs from all other countries of origin," he said in the April 29 statement. "Cost increases due to higher tariffs will eventually cause price increases." Parental woes: How tariffs could affect baby formula, diapers and other essentials Gulden said the company would not be sharing a year-ahead profit outlook due to the volatility of the current market, despite a "great" quarter. In the U.S., sales were up just 3% in the first three months of the year, when including the winddown of the sale of Yeezys due to the brand's terminated partnership with Kanye West. That number went up to 13% when excluding the Yeezy line. Sales were also up 26% in Latin America, 14% in Europe, and 13% in China, Japan, and South Korea, said the quarterly review. Net sales climbed 12.7% while operating margins rose 3.8 points to 9.9%, bringing the company's total operating profit to 610 million Euros ($695 million USD) in the first quarter. That's an 82% increase. Gulden said that despite the overall positive picture, it's currently "impossible" to quantify or conclude what impact tariff uncertainty will have on consumers. "In a 'normal world' with this strong quarter, the strong order book and in general a very positive attitude towards Adidas, we would have increased our outlook for the full year both for revenues and operating profit," Gulden said. "Given the uncertainty around the negotiations between the U.S. and the different exporting countries, we do not know what the final tariffs will be." He added: "Therefore, we cannot make any 'final' decisions on what to do."

The Chic and Easy Memorial Day Weekend Outfits to Wear Now Through Summer
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Don't look now, but Memorial Day Weekend is right around the corner—and as the unofficial start to the summer season, the time has come to showcase your hot-weather style with some fresh 'fits. Whether you plan to hit the beach with your crew or stay in with the A/C blasting as you browse the best Memorial Day sales, there's no reason you can't do it wearing something cute. If inspiration is lacking, you're in luck, I found the best Memorial Day Weekend outfits out there, inspired by major celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner and street style mavens alike. Stick to basics with an airy sundress and summer sandals or perhaps—if you're feeling newly inspired by the NBA playoffs—opt for something sporty like a summer tracksuit and heels. At the end of the day, a cute outfit can make all the difference (at least, that's what I believe!). Check out the stylish Memorial Day Weekend outfits you can wear now through the rest of the season, below. When in doubt, you can never go wrong with a pair of jeans and a baby tee. Take notes from Kendall Jenner, who accessorized this classic combo with loafers and a baseball cap for an effortlessly cool and casual look you can wear on repeat. Jean shorts and summer just go together, and what better time to wear your favorites than over Memorial Day Weekend? Throw on your trusty Adidas Sambas, like Hailey Bieber, and your go-to denim jacket for when the temps start to dip, and you're set. Take a page from Bella Hadid and tap into the Western trend. Center your outfit around a pair of chic cowboy boots, and then style them with a fun graphic tee and cutoff shorts. You'll have a trend-worthy outfit ready in no time. Don't feel obligated to dress up if you're planning to lay low over the long weekend. Sometimes, a sweatshirt and comfy sweatpants are the move. A monochromatic look like this one from Jennifer Lopez still looks put-together and elevated, even when you're in a loungewear set. I anticipate no regrets. An all-black ensemble is perfect for any occasion, including a barbecue or picnic. A romantic dress and ballet flats paired with a dainty necklace come together for an outfit fit for a daytime outing. Feeling like a woman on the move? A lightweight tracksuit is just what's in order. And if you want to give it a fashion-girl twist, style it with this season's trending aviator sunglasses and a pair of metallic sandals. Sports jerseys are trending for summer—and if you're looking for an unexpected way to style yours, consider a cute bubble skirt. Spice things up with metallic accessories, and I guarantee you'll be primed for a post on the grid. For something that feels casual but still elevated, consider a fitted cardigan paired with Bermuda shorts. Polished details like ballet flats and a leather designer bag will take things up a level. Nothing beats the heat quite like a sundress, which makes it a great option for your summer uniform. It's easy, effortless, and chic—not to mention versatile. Wear it to dinner alfresco or for your neighborhood barbecue. This is a staple that can be as dressed up or down as you want it. No doubt, a long black skirt is the most underrated MVP of your everyday wardrobe. For a go-to look, you can wear again and again, opt for a denim jacket, a classic white T-shirt, and easy flats (like the ones shown here, in the ever-popular butter yellow hue). It's a classy and casual look for celebrating the upcoming summer season.

Women don't want to dress like Kate Middleton anymore
Look, if you will, at Kate Middleton on the Isle of Mull for her wedding anniversary. There she was in skinny jeans, tucked-in blue shirt and tweed blazer, shod in what looked like sensible walking boots. It's a look I like to call Royal Prep School Mummy, and she's been at it for years: on school runs, at charity netball matches, and Anmer Hall photoshoots. It works, as it always has done, by combining registers. The tweed blazer nods to all sorts of Balmoral-ish, elitist accents – but we forget all about that because of the blue shirt and skinny jeans, items we might well own ourselves. Hilary Mantel may have famously called Kate a 'shop window mannequin', but I want to know which one. Joules, Boden or Cath Kidston? Nowadays, haute-ordinary brands once associated with the princess's soft power – such as Joules, Boden, and Cath Kidston, not to mention Orla Kiely and Jack Wills – are anachronisms. Most of them – bar Jack Wills, which is now worn almost exclusively by chavs – have gone bust. Cath Kidston, once the darling of the middle-class kitchen and downstairs loo with all its make-do-and-mend, chintzy, found-it-in-the-attic vibes, went into administration in 2020. Joules – the brand first established as a market stall by founder Tom Joule, known for its Norfolk beach-striped raincoats and clean Breton tops – went down the pan not long after, in 2023. Both labels were bought out by Next – the hugely successful but doomed graveyard for troubled brands. Both cited Covid and lack of investment as reasons for their demise. But I think it's simply that we have aged out of aspirational ordinariness – or, as one retail analyst at JP Morgan told me, 'the brand DNA had withered'. Ouch. In short, middle-class tastes have moved on. Where once Prep School Mummy might have wanted to emulate a clean-lines Kate vibe, these days she is far more likely to want to signal quiet wealth and a safe, don't-scare-the-horses eccentricity: think an Aspiga quilted coat, barrel jeans (a nightmare for walking the dogs in the mud, just saying) and bright red Adidas Sambas. In warm weather, the jean hem will rise to wide-leg culottes and be paired with Penelope Chilvers espadrilles and a Maison Labiche top that she might have bought in Burford Garden Centre's ladies' fashion department, next to the Pooky lampshades. As ensembles go, these looks gesture towards a louder femininity than the Kate look of old – untethered from convention. Could it be, perhaps, that fashion's middle ground is no longer that middle? Maybe, like our politics, fashion is becoming polarised – the middle market crushed. At one end of the spectrum, you have the obvious luxury of Louis Vuitton, Sloane Street brands; at the other, the fast fashion of Zara and Topshop – now reputed to be making a Gen Z revival. Prestige-lite brands still exist – Boden, the White Company, Sarah K – but their ability to make the middle classes feel like they're getting the good life for less without feeling somehow lesser has waned. Her look, now held in a kind of sartorial aspic, is essential to the Firm's ability to convince us of its middle-class credentials Boden in particular used to lead the pack on the strength of its brand pedigree, not simply its DNA. Owned by Old Etonian Johnny Boden, it tapped spectacularly into the national psyche – windy days on British beaches, drawing-room drinks parties – while providing upscale wardrobe basics (leopard-print ankle boots) and toned-down avant-garde trends (jazzy block-colour coats). But then it went wrong, and the brand was forced to scale back its disastrous men's offering and make a formal apology. Johnny Boden has attributed the losses to 'forgetting' his core customer, but the collective demise of similar brands points to the fact that fashion no longer meets its customers in the middle. In a world of Trump-ish opulence and Reform-style excess, we don't just want to feel nice any more – we aspire to luxury. A nice Breton and a pair of skinny jeans just isn't going to do it any more, even if it is made of organic cotton. Kate Middleton, of course, doesn't have to change at all. Her look, now held in a kind of sartorial aspic, is essential to the Firm's ability to convince us of its middle-class credentials. Her influence will always be powerful, as it was when she first 'broke the internet' with her engagement Issa stretchy dress. As every brand specialist will tell you, no customer – and we are all consumers of Kate, let's be clear – wants to be confused. In the meantime, I'm off to walk the dogs before school pick-up. Just a shame I can't fit my barrel jeans into my Chameau wellies.
