Bezos, Zuckerberg Skip Met Gala Red Carpet
5 May
Summary
- Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg avoided the Met Gala red carpet.
- Lauren Sánchez Bezos attended as an honorary chair, representing the pair.
- Other tech leaders like Sergey Brin and Evan Spiegel were present.
On Monday night, tech moguls Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg deliberately avoided the spotlight of the Met Gala's famous red carpet. Bezos, one of the event's honorary chairs, entered the gala discreetly while his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, represented the couple. This choice sidesteps the typical media frenzy associated with the event. Similarly, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, were present but chose not to walk the carpet, preferring a more private arrival. This behavior aligns with a broader trend of prominent tech figures seeking to minimize public exposure.
This inclination to avoid journalists and photographers was also observed at Milan Fashion Week. However, not all tech leaders shied away from the cameras. Google founder Sergey Brin attended with his girlfriend Gerelyn Gilbert-Soto, and Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel appeared with his wife, Miranda Kerr. For these individuals, the publicity of such events is a familiar aspect of their public lives.
