Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, showcased his new look at the UFC 300 event with his wife, Priscilla Chan. He was seen wearing a navy blue t-shirt and chain necklace, which sparked intrigue among social media users. In a video shared on Instagram, Zuckerberg expressed his excitement about the “big AI news” he had to reveal. However, instead of focusing on the new products, people were more interested in his apparent new style.
Some users joked that Zuckerberg appeared like the type of person who would steal someone’s girlfriend and then try to help them win her back. Others suggested that he should grow out his facial hair, as a photoshopped image of him with a beard went viral and garnered attention.
Zuckerberg’s change in personal style is not unique to him as other tech billionaires like Jeff Bezos have also undergone fashion transformations after stepping down from leadership roles in their companies. Bezos has incorporated more bold fashion choices and appears to be getting more physically fit. He and his fiancée Lauren Sánchez turned heads at the Dolce & Gabbana Party during Milan Fashion Week with their “mob chic” attire.
The trend of tech titans embracing louder luxury fashion is becoming more prominent with Zuckerberg trading in his typical gray t-shirts and hoodies for more adventurous clothing options like a shearling brown jacket. It seems that Zuckerberg is eager to swap fashion tips with his billionaire peers as seen in an Instagram post where he exchanged jackets with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Representatives for Zuckerberg’s company Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding his evolving style and fashion choices.
