Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, made headlines on Thursday with his announcement of the company’s latest AI products. However, instead of focusing on the new products, social media users were more intrigued by Zuckerberg’s apparent new style.
Zuckerberg was seen wearing a navy blue t-shirt and chain necklace in a video shared on Instagram. He expressed his excitement about the “big AI news” he had to reveal. Some users joked that Zuckerberg looked like the type of person who would steal someone’s girlfriend and try to 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 received attention.
At the UFC 300 event, Zuckerberg showcased his new look alongside his wife Priscilla Chan, who embraced a “mob wife” aesthetic with her gold necklace and all-black outfit. This change in personal style is not unique to Zuckerberg 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 Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Zuckerberg’s evolving style and fashion choices.
