The ex-Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, is rocking a pair of Adidas Gazelles for the State Opening of Canadian Parliament, and critics have questioned his choice of footwear for the occasion. The Daily Express, royal editor, Emily Ferguson who is attending the state opening spotted the “interesting” footwear.

On X, Emily Ferguson wrote: “Former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is wearing some interesting footwear for today’s opening of Parliament… Retirement runners perhaps..? He’ll be seated in the front row close to where the King and Queen will be sitting.”

Other royal fans have shared snaps of the Adidas Gazelles paired with Trudeau’s navy suit and patterned tie. One wrote: “Looks a little disrespectful…Too little too late Justin. #RebelWithoutACause.”
