In this picture from the celeb outfit identifier, Reese Witherspoon shows that Chanel sunglasses make the (wo)man.  Her fresh-faced look is simple: slicked back hair, little jewelry and shorts, but by adding these classic Chanel shades, she gives star quality to this casual look. The frames are gently squared to flatter her heart-shaped face, and they’re made of lightweight acetate to fit comfortably on the features. They’re shiny black on black to go with everything, from designer couture to weekend wear.

Miley Cyrus steps out in London in an eye-catching pair of sunglasses.  We found her on the celeb outfit identifier rocking these cool Mercury shades by New York-based Nooka. Though the corners are cut off of these frames, Nooka didn’t cut corners in creating them. They’re futuristic, trendy and designed to stand out in so many ways:

• Frames are polymer injected so they’re super lightweight and durable
• Matching rubber nosepiece and temple tips ensure comfort
• Lenses provide 100% UV protection
• Mirrored lenses offer enhanced crispness and visual acuity
• They’re available in a variety of bright colors, including black, white, neon pink, neon green, neon blue and neon orange

Who says, “Guys don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses?”  We’d say Hillary Duff looks pretty “passable” in hers.  Thanks to the celeb outfit identifier, we see her at Los Angeles International Airport sporting these cool unisex frames from Oliver Peoples. She’s kickin’ it old school in these classic black horn rims. There are similar styles from the boutique optical company SALT eyewear.

The great thing about this style is they’re flattering on nearly everyone.

• Retro design
• Solid construction
• Available in several stylish colors, including tortoise and black

Hillary’s glasses make a statement.  And that statement is, “These are pretty cool.”

As we found on celeb outfit identifier, Britney Spears looks anything but incognito in these acetate Heloise sunglasses by Chloe.  She’s in casual mode as she rocks these shades, though they’d be a fitting addition to a dressier look. They’re striking in beige horn, and feature the classic Chloe buckle design at the temple. The oversized square design is flattering on most face shapes, and captures the glamour of old Hollywood. They’re oversized, with an ample tint, to keep out prying eyes – and flashbulbs.

Seeing the beige specs here, it makes me think Ms. Spears might want to check out the line of Mykita Sunglasses as well.

Kate Beckinsale steps out in L.A. in these stylish sunglasses by Christian Dior.  From what we can tell on the celeb outfit identifier, these are Dior 61 sunglasses. These shades have a unique shape with fork temples, and as Ms. Beckinsale proves so fashionably, they go well with anything from shorts to designer bags.  Shiny metal accents are stamped with the familiar Dior motif.  These sunglasses offer 100% UV protection, and will encourage loads of compliments.

Similar classic sun looks are available in the collection of Barton Perreira.

The chunky sunglasses Courtney Cox is wearing while shopping in Los Angeles are simply chic. The celeb outfit identifier tells us they’re Chanel Sunglasses. The dark acetate frames highlight the famous gold double “C” logo on the temples.  Full coverage and high fashion – what more could you want from your shades?

They offer not only UV protection, but important in Ms. Cox’s situation, also flashbulb protection.

Kate Moss brings runway style to the streets of London with her fashionable shades.  The celeb outfit id tells us she’s rocking classic Ray Ban Wayfarers.  Seen on Hollywood’s elite since the 1950s, these stylish sunglasses have so much to offer:

• Dozens of colors and patterns, from sleek, sophisticated black to eye-popping orange with funky, printed temples
• Complete UV protection
• Polarized and scratch-resistant lenses

Moss can make anything she wears look like haute couture.  As she so fashionably demonstrates, these Wayfarers look right at home on or off the runway.

Arguably one of the most popular entertainers in the world, Beyonce shows a fun, casual side in this picture from the celeb outfit identifier.  She makes these purple Ray Ban Wayfarers look glamorous.  Beyonce could wear just about anything and look great, so it’s no surprise these fun, classic sunglasses look fantastic with her laid-back look.  They’re available in tons of fun colors from black to red to white and everything in between.

Couldn’t she look less than drop-dead gorgeous just once? We have yet to see it.

Kim Kardashian does sunglasses in a big way.  Her eyewear of choice the day we saw her on the celeb outfit identifier is Tom Ford’s Niko.  They’re big, they’re bold and they’re just beautiful.  Their angular frames sets off her features, while providing ample – and we mean “ample” – coverage.

They feature:

• A butterfly shaped, acetate frame
• A bright metal “T” on the temple
• A choice of color combinations.  Shiny black frames are paired with gradient green/honey lenses, shiny dark havana  frames and black/havana frames come with gradient brown lenses and light havana/honey frames come with roviex lenses.

There is no such thing as being inconspicuous in these stylin’ shades.

Jolie in Ferragamo Sunglasses

In a recent pic snapped of Jolie in Venice the actress is sporting big, beautiful, black sunglasses and the question has come up…. who made them? Our friends at Celeb Outfit identifier have identified these as Ferragamo shades.

The frames appear to be acetate with a slight gradient lens. In addition to looking fab one can assume that they also offer superb sun protection given the large sized lens and dark tint.

Ferragamo is a luxury goods company originally started by Salvatore Ferragamo. Salvatore was a Florentine shoe designer who lived in Hollywood during the 1920’s working with many of the decades top stars. After 13 years he  returned to Florence to open his own company designing and crafting fine shoes for powerful women across the world.

Ferragamo was always recognized as a visionary, and his designs ranged from the strikingly bizarre objet d’art to the traditionally elegant, often serving as the main inspiration to other footwear designers of his time and beyond. Salvatore Ferragamo died in 1960 at the age of 62, but his name lives on as an international company, which has expanded its operations to include luxury shoes, bags, eyewear, silk accessories, watches, perfumes and a ready-to-wear clothing line. At his death his wife Wanda and later their six children (Fiamma, Giovanna, Fulvia, Ferruccio, Massimo and Leonardo) ran the Ferragamo company.
