A mix of mockery and eye-rolling spread across social media Friday as Marco Rubio's State Department quietly issued a formal dress code for diplomats and staff for the first time in the agency's history.

The new "business formal" standard was added in recent days to the Foreign Affairs Manual, the department's central policy bible, requiring diplomats to dress in polished professional attire for any official engagement with foreign counterparts, Fox News reported.

"Representing the United States of America is an honor — and this new policy ensures our diplomats project credibility, respect, and the dignity of the nation we serve," Assistant Secretary Dylan Johnson wrote on X. Fox News Digital first reported the change.
