Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has traded his previously iconic minimalist wardrobe for a more luxurious lineup of designer clothes and striking jewelry.
This change in Zuckerberg’s fashion choices has become evident since the start of the year.
Known for his straightforward wardrobe of t-shirts, hoodies, dark jeans, sneakers, and a lack of accessories, the billionaire stated in a 2014 interview on YouTube channel Huh Bub that he aimed to simplify his life to minimize daily decisions, reserving his energy for more significant tasks.
Yet, the tech mogul’s wardrobe has diversified, becoming more stylish. Earlier this month, Zuckerberg posted a photo alongside his wife Priscilla Chan, where they both sported vibrant outfits and accessorized with chains, on social media. Many were taken aback when they first observed him adorned with variously styled and sized pieces of jewelry.
For his 40th birthday on May 14 this year, Zuckerberg (R) opted for a slogan t-shirt and jeans, complemented by a gold-plated necklace.
He and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang (R) exchanged jerseys during a meeting in March.
The Meta chief’s choice, a brown sheepskin jersey, is trendy for the Fall/Winter 2023 season.
Vogue recognized the billionaire and his wife as two of the best-dressed attendees at the pre-wedding festivities for Anant Ambani, son of Asia’s wealthiest billionaire Mukesh Ambani.
For the “Walk on the Wildside”-themed event, part of the festivities, Zuckerberg sported a Rahul Mishra shirt with tiger and lotus prints.
At the “Evening in Everland” party, another event of the celebrations, he donned an Alexander McQueen suit jacket embellished with gold dragonfly patterns and stones, valued at US$7,000.
Comments from Internet users suggest that Zuckerberg’s revamped style has added an intriguing layer to his public persona.
Zuckerberg is widely known as the co-founder of Facebook and its parent company Meta Platforms, where he serves as chairman, CEO, and controlling shareholder. As of Sep. 19, Forbes has placed his net worth at US$186.2 billion, making him the fourth richest person globally.
