Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire CEO of Meta, recently made headlines for his unexpected and flashy performance at his wife Priscilla Chan’s 40th birthday bash. The event, a black-tie affair, saw Zuckerberg take the stage in a bold and surprising outfit, borrowing a sparkly blue sequined jumpsuit from singer Benson Boone, who had famously worn it during his 2025 Grammy performance. The moment, captured in a video posted to Instagram, showcased Zuckerberg’s playful and entertaining side as he jumped onto the piano, hyped up the crowd, and recreated Boone’s performance of his song “Beautiful Things” (though he skipped the backflip). While it’s unclear if Zuckerberg was singing or lip-syncing, he set the video to Boone’s brand-new single, “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else,” adding to the lighthearted and fun vibe of the moment.
Zuckerberg’s outfit change was nothing short of dramatic. He initially walked on stage wearing a simple black suit, but in a sudden reveal, two people ripped the tuxedo away to expose the dazzling V-neck onesie. The crowd seemed genuinely shocked and delighted by the transformation, and even Zuckerberg’s wife, Priscilla, was seen laughing and enjoying the show from the audience. The gesture was a clear celebration of her milestone birthday, with Zuckerberg captioning the Instagram video, “Your wife only turns 40 once!” He also gave a shoutout to Benson Boone for lending him the iconic jumpsuit and promoting his new single. The performance was a testament to Zuckerberg’s ability to let loose and have fun, even in the spotlight of such a high-profile event.
The reaction to Zuckerberg’s performance was mixed on social media, with some users praising his confidence and others expressing surprise at the unconventional choice of outfit and song. However, Priscilla Chan seemed thoroughly entertained, which was the most important thing for her husband. The couple, who met and fell in love in 2003 while attending Harvard University, have been married since 2012 and share three daughters: Maxima, 9, August, 7, and Aurelia, 2. Their relationship has been a subject of admiration for many, and this birthday bash was just another way for Zuckerberg to show his love and appreciation for his wife.
Zuckerberg also shared a photo of himself wearing the sequined jumpsuit on his Instagram Stories, captioning it, “Full send @bensonboone,” emphasizing his commitment to going all out for the performance. The outfit, which had originally made waves during Boone’s Grammy performance, was a bold choice, and Boone himself couldn’t help but comment on it. Under a post about the party, Boone jokingly wrote, “I hope his nuts are okay. That thing is so tight,” referring to the snug fit of the jumpsuit. The 22-year-old singer, who was nominated for Best New Artist at this year’s Grammys, had already made headlines for his performance, which included a memorable crotch adjustment that left the audience in surprise.
Boone’s own performance at the Grammys was nothing short of viral. He had started by emerging from the crowd in a suit, which was then stripped away by Nikki Glaser and Heidi Klum to reveal the same tight, sequined jumpsuit that Zuckerberg later borrowed. The singer’s bold move of adjusting his crotch on stage sparked a lot of buzz, and he later addressed it humorously on his Instagram Stories, writing, “Sorry for adjusting my jumpsuit so aggressively on stage tonight. That thing was aggressively restricting in certain areas.” Boone’s candidness and sense of humor added to his charm and helped endear him to fans and viewers alike.
In the end, Zuckerberg’s performance at Priscilla Chan’s birthday party was a lighthearted and entertaining moment that showcased his fun side. While some people might have raised eyebrows at his choice of outfit and song, it was clear that the gesture was meant to celebrate his wife and bring joy to their guests. The fact that he borrowed Benson Boone’s iconic jumpsuit added an extra layer of excitement and tie-in to pop culture, making the moment even more memorable. For fans of both Zuckerberg and Boone, it was a delightful convergence of tech and music, proving that even the most unexpected collaborations can lead to something truly special.
