When Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos helps sponsor the Met Gala, the billionaires are never far behind. Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, made their Met Gala debut this year, and in Prada no less. There were no grand poses, no shutterbugs, and no social media spectacle this time. The couple skipped the chaos of the red carpet and went straight inside the museum. In true billionaire flair, they avoided the cameras, were reportedly not even on the expected arrivals list, and still landed exactly where power likes to sit, inside the room.
Power couple Zuckerberg and Chan enjoyed cocktails and dinner, mingling with Instagram chief Adam Mosseri and musician Jon Batiste. More importantly, they were said to be seated at Anna Wintour’s table, proving this was a debut few can boast! The 41-year-old, one of the richest men in the world, stayed miles away from the 2026 Met Gala theme, “Costume Art,” and the dress code, “Fashion Is Art.” Instead, he repeated his latest fashion declaration. After sitting front row with Chan at the Prada fall/winter 2026 show during Milan Fashion Week, Zuckerberg looked dapper in a Prada tuxedo with a black bow tie, according to The New York Times.
There was no Met Gala madness for the Facebook founder. This was clean, classic, and calculated. Zuckerberg’s newfound fashion-world presence now seems neatly aligned with Meta’s growing smart-glasses business, especially the success of Meta Ray-Ban and Meta Oakley products. Business aside, the tycoon, worth roughly $209 billion, has shown incredible growth not just in net worth but also in fashion sense. Long gone are the days of the gray T-shirt and jeans. The Mark Zuckerberg of 2026 attends fashion shows, wears Prada, and opts for sheepskin jackets, gold chains, John Elliott, Bode, Alexander McQueen, and custom oversized Amiri T-shirts.
His watch box must be exploding all the same, with heavyweights like the Patek Philippe 5236P Grand Complications In-Line Perpetual Calendar, the De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius, F.P. Journe pieces, and the Greubel Forsey Hand Made 1. For a man once defined by anti-fashion, this is quite the glow-up.
As for Priscilla Chan, she opted for a monochrome red Alaïa gown and looked chic beside her husband’s Prada persona. Chan, usually associated with medicine, philanthropy, and science, looked completely at ease in the luxury spotlight, proving this was not just Zuckerberg’s fashion arrival, but a polished declaration of power, style, and branding all in one.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who served as an honorary chair for the 2026 event with his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, surprisingly ditched the red carpet, the very spotlight that he paid for generously (reportedly $10 million). The 62-year-old quietly slipped into the gala on Monday night. All the while, Sánchez Bezos held down the pair’s honorary-chair duties solo, arriving early in a Schiaparelli ball gown.
