When Mark Zuckerberg testified in front of US congress back in 2018, he looked every inch the technology tycoon, with his hair close-cropped and sporting a sober navy suit.
Fast forward to 2024, and it seems a Meta makeover is in full swing, with Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, who is usually as conservative a dresser as her husband of 12 years, looking, well, a little bit billionaire bougie.
Earlier this month, the couple, reputed to be worth an extraordinary £138 billion, attended the Ultimate Fighting Championship 300 event in Las Vegas, perhaps not the most obvious date night for a couple whose fortune was built on code.
But Zuckerberg has, it seems, taken a leaf out of the style book of fellow mogul Jeff Bezos and his glamorous squeeze Lauren Sanchez – looking more ‘mob chic’ than ‘geek chic’.
Status update: Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan were barely recognisable at mixed martial arts event UFC 300 in Las Vegas earlier this month, with the couple, known for their sensible attire, looking decidedly bling
Zuckerberg, the original technology nerd, cut a cooler figure in black jeans and a white tee, with a silver chain and his close-cropped hair grown out. Meanwhile Priscilla, his wife of 12 years, went for a short all-black ensemble
Meanwhile the tech entrepreneur, 39, donned a white tee, gold chain and baggy black pants to watch the fights, and later pose in photos with UFC champions.
When they first met, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan were fresh faced and clean cut – in casual, high-street fashion and with untamed hair. Right: Now they both seem to be more experimental in the sartorial stakes, with Mark recently sporting a suit with dragon fly embroidery, and Priscilla opting for more daring dresses
Is a stylist on the Meta payroll? In March, Mark and Priscilla attended an Indian wedding together, and sported the more adventurous ensembles
