Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will likely opt for a more formal look when he meets with former President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., on Monday, according to a designer who has previously collaborated with the European leader.

“Tomorrow he most likely will not appear in a polo,” Ukrainian designer Elvira Gasanova told Fox News Digital. “… I think he will choose a black military suit or a military-style shirt with trousers — perhaps a jacket.”

Having previously come under fire for his informal attire, Zelenskyy is likely to choose “a more serious look — though less symbolic,” according to Gasanova.

“After the recent ‘no suit’ drama, he will likely approach this question differently,” she said.

The pressures of Russia’s full-scale invasion have taken a physical toll on Zelenskyy, leading to weight loss during high-stress periods, while regular training helps him rebuild muscle mass, Gasanova said.

“At the moment, he is in Brussels, and he will decide for himself what to wear tomorrow,” she said.

The upcoming meeting follows just days after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine.

The high-stakes meeting was the first U.S.-Russia summit since June 2021, which was under former President Joe Biden’s administration and only eight months before Putin invaded Ukraine. 

The White House and Press Office for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
