Meta AI CEO Alexandr Wang sets the record straight on how he dressed for Meta’s Connect 2026 conference this week; says: Excuse me I must …

Meta AI CEO Alexandr Wang recently made headlines for his outfit onto the Meta Connect stage. Rather than a polished tech suit, the tech CEO wore a deer-print camouflage T-shirt, dark trousers and camouflage Crocs. While many criticised Wang’s his casual wear, others started doing a fashion price check. A post on X (formerly known as Twitter) allegedly claimed that Alexandr Wang was actually wearing a £600 ($800) Hermès ‘hunter classic shirt’, £900 ($1,200) Loro Piana trousers and £1,125 ($1,500) Ferragamo shoes. Put together, the outfit supposedly cost £2,625 ($3,500). Wang was quick to “correct the record”.

Alexandr Wang corrects the record

Responding to the post by X user Goltra @Goltra, the Meta’s AI chief said: “excuse me I must correct the record on this slander”. He also shared an annotated photo correcting the record with actual prices: $30 thrifted camo tee, $150 Norrona cargo pants, $60 Realtree Crocs, and hair from “putting his head in a washing machine”.In another playful reply to a compliment on his improved fitness to a similar post, Wang wrote: “actually if you say i look fit i don’t care how much you lie about how much my clothes cost”.

Alexandr Wang’s camouflage shirt has become part of his usual style

The shirt worn by Alexandr Wang appears to be a vintage-style camouflage top with deer prints on the front and “Lake Tahoe” printed on the sleeve. Similar 1990s “Back to Earth” shirts have been listed on the second-hand market for £11 to £34 ($14 to $45). However, the exact brand of Wang’s shirt has not been independently confirmed.“Meta AI keynote @alexandr_wang fit check: vintage deer tee, technical pants, camo Crocs. Estimated damage: $264–$294,” said an X post. Wang confirmed the same writing “yes this is all correct thank you Boys Club World”.Notably,. Alexandr Wang’s casual style is also not new. He has worn deer-print and camouflage shirts during interviews and important work meetings in the past. The outfit at Meta Connect therefore appears to be part of his regular style rather than a one-time choice for the event.
