Described as “too Indian, even for an Indian,” the Trudeaus have commissioned some of India’s most prestigious designers to outfit them for every photo op. What was perhaps most glaring was the juxtaposition between the Canadian political family and the Bollywood stars they met on Feb. 20. Sophie was in a cream-coloured and beaded sari, their children Xavier and Ella-Grace wore a sherwani and lehenga, respectively, and the PM donned a gold sherwani complete with traditional mojari shoes — while the Indian stars wore slacks and jackets.“It’s a little over the top,” Vivek Dehejia, economics professor at Carleton University, tells Global News. “I understand on day one having to wear the traditional clothes, but now it’s getting too much. It’s very choreographed, … these Bollywood-style outfits every public event he does. What does it say about the real purpose of the visit?”
Outfits that border on the verge of stereotypical.
Would we, as Canadians, feel honoured if a leader from the other end of the world showed up wearing a Hockey Jersey? Or a Flannel Jacket? Just wear a **** suit!!!This is more a family vacation for JT than it is an official state visit. Why are taxpayers paying for this?
I expect he does wear a **** suit when in business meetings, or when he meets with the Prime Minister tomorrow. Do you expect a leader from India that takes in a Habs game to wear a suit, or would you be offended if he wore a red Canadians jersey?
While almost all the actors came dressed in black, Trudeau wore a golden bandhgala sherwani. While it was in line with his affinity for Indian wear — especially during his current visit — this seems to have been the icing on the cake.So much so, from author and columnist Shobhaa De to Jammu and Kashmir’s Opposition leader Omar Abdullah, many seems to have noticed Trudeau’s interesting wardrobe. Socialite Suhel Seth took to Twitter, wondering out loud if the Canadian PM is preparing for the Lakmé Fashion Week and even went on to call his wardrobe change the costliest photoshoot ever. “Clearly Justin Trudeau has been watching all those Manyavar Mohey ads that air before movies,” read another remark on Twitter. Others have commented on the way the Trudeau family members seem to have colour coordinated their outfits for all formal outings.
If you notice this flack is not coming from Canada. It's from abroad. It would be like a couple wearing a wedding gown and tuxedo everywhere they went in Canada. We don't know what these outfits signify.
JT is so tolerant that he makes his wife and kid wear outfits in his trip to India. Outfits that border on the verge of stereotypical.
