Zelenskyy was seen shaking Trump's hand while wearing all black, including a button-down black shirt and jacket.
"You look good," the reporter said before Trump added, "I said the same thing."
The meeting Monday also includes European leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Finnish President Alexander Stubb.
Zelenskyy previously has come under fire and questioning regarding his public attire, which routinely has included him sporting dark green T-shirts, sweatshirts and other relaxed military-style outfits, as opposed to suits.
"Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit," one reporter asked Zelenskyy when he visited the White House in February. "Do you own a suit?"
Axios reported that the White House allegedly asked Ukrainian officials prior to the meeting if he would wear a suit to the meeting.
Zelenskyy was spotted meeting with Special Representative for Ukraine, General Keith Kellogg wearing a black T-shirt.
Fox News Digital reported earlier this week that Zelenskyy was more likely to wear more formal attire for his White House meeting, according to a designer who has previously collaborated with the European leader.
"After the recent 'no suit' drama, he will likely approach this question differently," she added.
