Facebook's Zuckerberg named to Esquire's '2010 Celebrity Style Hall of Shame'

Should we really care if someone as rich and famous as Mark Zuckerberg dresses well, or not? After all, isn't all his networking via the Internet anyway, hidden from the public eye? Be that as it may, Esquire recently named Zuckerberg to its "2010 Celebrity Style Hall of Shame" list (To be honest, we believe this was announced last year, but for some reason no one really noticed Zuckerberg's naming then.  On the other hand, plenty noticed Robert Pattinson's naming).

Scoring Time's Person of the Year apparently doesn't rate with Esquire. However, we're surprised, if you're going to pick Zuckerberg, that a certain other Silicon Valley CEO who seems to only have turtlenecks and blue jeans in his iCloset isn't on the list, but he's not.

Among the others on the list are Rush Limbaugh, Robert Pattinson, Russell Brand, and Joaquin Phoenix. Esquire said:

you cannot show up to a black-tie event in a t-shirt and jeans and expect to be taken seriously. Seriously.

Their suggestion:

You just gave a hundred million to Newark's schools. Would it kill you to throw a couple thousand to, say, Zegna for a couple of nice suits? Even Bill Gates wears a sport coat, for chrissakes.

True, but remember that when it was suggested that Apple CEO Steve Jobs wear a suit to meet with AT&T execs, one of his subordinates said, “We’re Apple. We don’t wear suits. We don’t even own suits.”
