Move over, fashion insiders—there’s a new face in the front row. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, made a stylish stop at Milan Fashion Week on Thursday, attending Prada’s Fall/Winter runway presentation alongside his wife, Priscilla Chan.
The couple kept their outfits simple with understated sweaters, but made a clear statement with their footwear. Coordinating in luxury loafers, Chan opted for a rich brown leather while Zuckerberg chose the classic black version. For those looking to replicate the look, similar styles on Prada’s website retail between $1,290 and $1,420.
A Front Row Seat with Fashion Royalty
It’s par for the course for front-row guests to don the designer’s latest creations, and the Zuckerbergs fit right in. Whether they were styled by the house or raided their own closets remains a mystery, but Zuckerberg was clearly pleased to be there. “Thanks to Prada for having us in Milan!” he captioned a photo from the event on Instagram.
The couple was seated just a few spots away from Vogue’s legendary editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, as the trio applauded the latest collection from the Italian luxury house.
From Hoodies to High Fashion
The sight of Zuckerberg at a high-profile fashion show is less surprising than it might have been a few years ago. Once known almost exclusively for his uniform of gray t-shirts and hoodies, the tech billionaire has undergone a notable style evolution. He has increasingly positioned himself as a kind of fashion influencer for the Silicon Valley set, sparking conversation with choices ranging from flashy watches to bold gold chains.
His personal interest in fashion now aligns neatly with his company’s business strategy. Meta has been aggressively pushing into the wearable tech space with its line of smart glasses, developed in partnership with eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica—the parent company of Ray-Ban and Oakley. Building on that relationship, CNBC reported in June that Meta plans to add Prada to its lineup of AI-powered glasses, further blurring the lines between technology and luxury style.
