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.

Jennifer Lopez may be just chillin’ on the water, but her Robert Cavalli sunglasses are ready to party.  Though her hair is tossed up in a casual bun, these shades ooze elegance.  We see her in this picture courtesy of the celeb outfit identifier, relaxing on a yacht in France while her shades work the celebrity angle.  They’re the Prasio style, and in true Roberto Cavalli fashion, they’re eye-catching and sophisticated.  The smoky lenses fit asymmetrically in the shiny black frames, which gently curve into a sparkly serpentine temple. They come in a variety of colors with complementary lens colors.

Similarly elegant are many sun styles available from Barton Perreira.

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.

It’s no secret, I love aviator sunglasses! I love the various shapes and sizes. I love the color range available. I love the infinite lens possibilities ranging from plain old cr-39  to high end polarized glass options. They look great with a gradient tint and they look great with a flash mirror coating. The look is just as classic with a rose tinted lens as it is with a smokey greay. The Aviator is one style that can do just about anything and not go wrong.

A perfect example of this is the awesome acetate aviators worn by a celebrity featured in this pic. Bold styling, classic tear drop shape, gradient lenses and a double bridge…. what’s not to love!

There have always been the fans of perfect round eyeglasses. Almost a cult like following, believing that if it wasn’t prefectly round they didn’t want it. For years, this was an issue. Many designers and eyewear companies stopped making this shape feeling it was too dated, too backward, and not appealing to a big enough audience.

That’s not the case anymore. Round eyewear is back and in a big way. Designers like la Garconne, Proenza Schouler and Anne et Valentine have circular eyewear in their current lines with more to come. Some big, some small, all very en vogue. Various colors have found their way to round frames though it seems it is often the classic like tortoise or black that are most popular.
