Mark Zuckerberg has found himself at the center of a social media storm after his response to a sultry Instagram photo of Lauren Sanchez, the fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, went viral. The Meta CEO’s “like” on the post, which Sanchez shared ahead of the Starlight Ball honoring Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, has ignited a flurry of reactions online.
A Viral Like That Raised Eyebrows
Social media users were quick to spot Zuckerberg’s interaction with the post on Instagram, the platform he owns. Within hours, jokes and memes flooded X (formerly Twitter), with one user quipping, “Zuck making likes private next,” while another teased, “You guys are literally gonna get him killed by his wife.”
The online frenzy comes just days after Zuckerberg was accused of stealing glances at Sanchez during Trump’s inauguration ceremony at the Capitol Rotunda. Seated near each other among a group of tech titans, Sanchez’s bold outfit—featuring a white lace bra under a pantsuit—drew significant attention. A video widely shared on social media shows Zuckerberg momentarily glancing at Sanchez, prompting cheeky commentary like, “Eyes up, Zuck.”

An Awkward Encounter at the Inauguration
During the event, Sanchez and Zuckerberg’s wife, Priscilla Chan, were seated near each other but appeared to avoid engaging in conversation. Chan, married to Zuckerberg since 2012, was seen mingling with political figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. instead. Sanchez, meanwhile, stayed close to Bezos, occasionally gesturing to him during the ceremony.

Sanchez’s attire at the inauguration has also sparked a separate debate. While she initially arrived in a chic white coat, she later revealed a daring pantsuit paired with slinky white lingerie beneath. Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly criticized the outfit, saying, “Have some dignity and respect for your setting and your circumstances.”
The Internet Reacts
The viral moment has added another layer to the public spectacle surrounding tech moguls and their interactions. As jokes and commentary continue to pour in online, one thing is clear—Zuckerberg’s subtle social media move has amplified the buzz surrounding Lauren Sanchez’s high-profile appearance.
