Brits have revealed the top 15 celebrities whom they believe have the most stylish eyewear – with Johnny Depp and Lady Gaga topping the list.
Other stars sporting trendy specs Jeff Goldblum, Victoria Beckham, and Sarah Jessica Parker – while fashion designers including the late Vivienne Westwood and Karl Lagerfeld also made the list. The poll of 2,000 adults found that, of those who wear glasses, almost a quarter (23%) have picked theirs out based on what their favourite specs-wearing celebs wear.
And over half (57%) named Pharrell Williams among the famous faces with unforgettable eyewear, due to their unique frame shape and style. Meanwhile, 62% agreed that Anna Wintour’s shades are particularly memorable – as she is very rarely seen without them. The research was commissioned by Specsavers ahead of London Fashion week, with the brand’s style editor, Bianca Swan, saying: “Everyone on this list is an icon in their own right – but their styles have no doubt been enhanced because of their glasses.
“Eyewear isn’t just an accessory, it’s a statement that allows individuals to showcase their own unique personality and style. It’s great that celebrities are making glasses a popular fashion accessory. The connection between these icons and their glasses shows how people see eyewear differently now.
“In a world where experimenting with self-expression can help us feel empowered, the purpose of glasses has become much more than to help us see better – they’re a celebration of style and individuality.”
