mozzetta

The gold cross around his neck that caught the evening light was seen as a first sign he was departing from the simplicity of his predecessor's simple silver pendant; the embroidered stole and red mozzetta cemented that impression.

The cardinal - in red mozzetta and cassock - is shown blessing the body of the late Pope during the rite of the declaration of death.

He refused to don the traditional red mozzetta, or half-cape, before stepping out in front of the masses.

He laughed with the crew about the microphone in his vestments and I took a picture of a woman rolling a lint brush over his black mozzetta.

A clear winner on this is the mozzetta, a short shoulder-covering robe worn by the pope and cardinals and, last night, by a very chic Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton.
