Zuckerberg Sits Front Row at Prada, Fueling Unconfirmed PradaMeta Smart Glasses Talk

Speculation over a PradaMeta eyewear tie-up resurfaced, without any announcement from either company.

Overview

  • Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan attended Prada’s Fall/Winter 2026 show in Milan on Feb. 26, seated beside executives Lorenzo Bertelli and CEO Andrea Guerra and near Anna Wintour.
  • Zuckerberg posted a thank-you on Instagram after the event, and the couple wore coordinated Prada looks including matching loafers.
  • Reuters previously reported Prada held exploratory talks with EssilorLuxottica on smart glasses, and industry coverage has suggested a Prada-branded version of Meta’s AI eyewear, but no deal has been confirmed.
  • Meta already sells AI glasses through EssilorLuxottica’s Ray-Ban and Oakley brands, with outlets citing more than 7 million units sold in 2025.
  • The high-profile appearance followed Zuckerberg’s recent testimony in a Los Angeles trial over alleged social-media harms and renewed public scrutiny of privacy risks tied to camera-equipped wearables.
