Reports suggest that more than 100,000 people filled the stadium, with thousands more gathering outside to pay their respects—numbers nearly double the venue’s official capacity.
Still, Erika’s choice of attire sparked debate online. Some questioned why she wore white instead of traditional black, with social media users pointing out cultural expectations around mourning. However, according to the official Fight for Charlie memorial site, the dress code encouraged attendees to wear their “Sunday Best” in red, white, and blue, symbolizing both patriotism and Kirk’s dedication to America.
In this context, Erika’s white outfit was seen by many as her personal way of honoring both her husband’s memory and the theme of the memorial.
The service, marked by powerful speeches, music, and moments of reflection, reinforced Charlie Kirk’s influence on a movement and the deep sense of loss felt by his supporters.
