Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged that the film accurately replicated his Harvard-era wardrobe, noting that every shirt and fleece shown matched items he owned. He praised costume designer Jacqueline West and reported that production consulted a Harvard contemporary to ensure authenticity. The movie recreated his casual signature look: T-shirts, fleece jackets from brands like The North Face, and Adidas slides, which Jesse Eisenberg wore even in boardroom scenes. Zuckerberg criticized Aaron Sorkin's portrayal of romantic motivation, clarifying he dated Priscilla Chan before launching Facebook. He later described watching the film as a "weird experience" and emphasized the romantic framing was dramatized.
