Meta AI CEO Alexandr Wang sets the record straight on his Meta Connect 2026 outfit
Meta AI's CEO Alexandr Wang turned heads at the Meta Connect event with his deer-print camouflage shirt and Crocs. In response to backlash over his casual look, he clarified the price of his thrifted outfit and added a touch of humor regarding fitness. Wang frequently opts for this camouflage style in his public appearances, igniting lively social media debates post-event.
Meta AI CEO Alexandr Wang recently stirred controversy with his outfit during the Meta Connect 2026 event. Instead of a traditional tech suit, Wang opted for a deer-print camouflage T-shirt, dark trousers, and camouflage Crocs. While some criticized his casual attire, others appeared to be appraising the potential cost of his fashion choices.
A post on X (formerly known as Twitter) claimed that Wang was wearing a £600 ($800) Hermès hunter classic shirt, £900 ($1,200) Loro Piana trousers, and £1,125 ($1,500) Ferragamo shoes, totaling £2,625 ($3,500). The Meta AI CEO swiftly addressed these claims, stating, "Excuse me, I must correct the record on this slander." He then shared an annotated photo revealing the actual costs: $30 thrifted camo tee, $150 Norrona cargo pants, $60 Realtree Crocs, and even humorously mentioning "hair from putting my head in a washing machine."
In response to a compliment on his improved fitness, Wang playfully said, "Actually, if you say I look fit, I don't care how much you lie about how much my clothes cost." This seemingly casual style has become a part of Wang's regular wardrobe, with similar deer-print and camouflage shirts previously seen during interviews and important work meetings. The Meta AI CEO's choice of attire at Meta Connect seems to be a continuation of his personal style rather than a one-off event decision.
