Interestingly enough, Cardinal Re who was the celebrant for the pre-Conclave Mass at St. Peter’s (he is 93 I think) was the Dean of the Cardinals for the Conclave in 2013 which elected Cardinal Bergoglio.
Cardinal Parolin, now the Dean of Cardinals led the Conclave in 2025 (yesterday).
At the 2013 Conclave there were many more cardinals who wore lace surplices than at the 2025 Conclave, although lace was certainly to be found on cardinals, some quite young.
Please note the ornate stole and lace surplice that Re wore in 2013 compared to what Cardinal Parolin wore yesterday in 2025.

Don't you fret over Parolin, as if the next pope likes lace, Parolin will wear lace enough to cause a worldwide shortage at Victoria's Secret.
Worry not over what Parolin wears, worry to whom in the Chinese Communist Party he reports
Well, I hope I am wrong and the Cardinals reject XParolin
