What’s the first thing that pops into your head when you think of glasses? Probably the nerd who sat in front of the class in third grade, constantly pushing up huge, round spectacles that kept slipping down his/her nose. Or maybe you were that nerd. Either way, the first word that comes to mind when we think of glasses is usually not “gorgeous” or “stylish.” A classic trope in teenage movies is the makeover of the unpopular kid who turns out to be way more attractive when the cumbersome glasses come off.
However, some celebrities make you reconsider your views on glasses. Whether they rock spectacles everyday or use them as a fashion statement, they pull off the look so well that you’ll be itching to put on a pair. Here’s our list of 10 celebrities who put the chic in geek.
1. David Beckham
The truth is, David Beckham would look hot in anything, and glasses are no exception. The soccer star looked irresistible in a pair of thick-rimmed frames as he filmed his debut episode on the set of Only Fools and Horses.
2. Anne Hathaway
One of Anne Hathaway’s most talked about looks was when she paired some geek glasses with a purple Gucci outfit at the Rio premiere. The result? Instant chic!
3. Johnny Depp
You’re probably used to seeing Johnny Depp in glasses of different shapes and sizes. The actor is known as much for his unique roles as his interesting eyewear. The only question left is, how can he make round frames look so hot?
4. Katy Perry
In classic Katy Perry fashion, the pop singer donned large cat eye frames to match her playful personality.
5. Ashley Benson
The Pretty Little Liars star can often be seen pairing casual outfits with trendy hipster glasses.
6. Donald Glover
Also known by his rapper stage name, Childish Gambino, the Community star looks anything but dorky in glasses
7. Eva Mendes
The good folks over at Vogue Eyewear made the right choice when they named Eva Mendes the new face of the brand. The actress looks stunning in a range of frames.
8. Pharrell Williams
Apart from the fact that Pharrell doesn’t seem to grow any older, the ridiculously good-looking musician looks even better in specs.
9. George Clooney
George Clooney is not only famous for his superb acting skills. He also generated a lot of buzz when he married a renowned international human rights lawyer, Amal Alamuddin. What says ‘intellectual’ better than a set of frames?
10. Zoey Deschanel
Zoey Deschanel looks adorable in the glasses she wears in her role on the TV show “New Girl”. These frames are perfect for Jessica Day, Deschanel’s character.
Evelyn – I agree they can be expensive. I don’t need to wear glasses but I like adding them to my outfit.
I would put Johnny Depp at the top of the list because I love him. He looks good in so many different styles.
Would love to be able to afford the glasses that they wear but they can be so expensive.
