Pope Leo XIV’s Look at St. Peter’s Square Sparks Buzz Over One Surprising Detail

  • A Cap That Turned Heads in Vatican City

    When Pope Leo XIV stepped out in Vatican City on June 11, 2025, it wasn’t his traditional attire that sparked conversation—it was his unexpected headwear.

    A Warm Welcome at St. Peter’s Square

    As the Pope arrived in his white popemobile, thousands of pilgrims lined St. Peter’s Square, phones raised to capture the moment. He smiled and waved, exuding warmth and ease.

    Midway through his entrance, he leaned down to greet a young boy in a red-and-yellow cap labeled “España.” With a gentle smile, he clasped the child’s hand, prompting a wave of smiles and camera flashes from onlookers.

    Addressing the Crowd

    Onstage, Pope Leo XIV wore his full papal whites—skullcap, pectoral cross, and tinted glasses. He raised his hands slightly as he addressed the crowd, appearing calm and expressive.

    Later, during the customary greeting of newlywed couples, the Pope knelt to engage with a groom and gently touched the bride’s veil. In a lighter moment, he adjusted his skullcap while smiling at a bride in pearls.

    Enter: The White Sox Cap

    Then came the twist.

    Shortly after those tender scenes, the Pope reappeared—this time sporting a black Chicago White Sox baseball cap atop his cassock. The image spread rapidly across social media.

    The White Sox themselves reposted the image on X, endorsing the playful look.
