Mark Zuckerberg made a bold and surprising move at his wife Priscilla Chan’s 40th birthday party, putting on an unexpected performance that included a shocking outfit change. While hosting the black-tie event, the Meta CEO took to the stage for a surprise performance, initially wearing a simple black suit. The real surprise came when two people tore away the tuxedo to reveal a sparkling blue sequined V-neck jumpsuit that had been worn by Benson Boone during his 2025 Grammy Awards performance. The reveal, captured in a video shared on Instagram, was a moment of pure spectacle.
Zuckerberg went all out during his performance, jumping onto the piano and energetically hyping up the crowd. He recreated Boone’s entire performance of “Beautiful Things,” though he didn’t attempt Boone’s famous backflip. It’s unclear whether Zuckerberg was singing live or simply lip-syncing to Boone’s new single, “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else.” In the Instagram post, Zuckerberg humorously captioned the clip, “Your wife only turns 40 once!” and thanked Boone for lending him the sparkly jumpsuit and sharing his new song.
Priscilla, who celebrated her 40th birthday on February 24, seemed to thoroughly enjoy the spectacle, laughing and enjoying the moment in the crowd. Despite mixed reactions on social media, the moment was clearly a hit with those closest to Zuckerberg. The couple, who met at Harvard University in 2003, married nine years later and now have three daughters: Maxima, 9, August, 7, and Aurelia, 2.
Zuckerberg also shared a photo of his glittering outfit on his Instagram Stories, adding the caption, “Full send @bensonboone.” The jumpsuit, which had become viral after Boone wore it on stage during the Grammys, sparked both admiration and humor. Boone himself jokingly commented on the discomfort of the suit, asking, “I hope his nuts are okay,” as the tight jumpsuit was known for being snug, especially in certain areas. Boone later addressed the situation with humor on his own Instagram Stories, writing, “Sorry for adjusting my jumpsuit so aggressively on stage tonight that thing was aggressively restricting in certain areas.”
Boone, a 22-year-old artist nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys, became an internet sensation for his bold performance and viral outfit. The jumpsuit’s tight fit and his on-stage adjustments were a topic of conversation, but it didn’t seem to take away from his growing popularity. His playful take on the situation only added to his charm, and his candid commentary only fueled the viral nature of the moment.
In the end, Zuckerberg’s surprise performance, his outlandish jumpsuit, and his wife’s laughter made for an unforgettable birthday celebration.
