The peak of summer brought a dazzling calendar of global spectacles, from the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary (see our coverage here) and the Sziget Festival in Budapest to premieres stretching from Sydney to Mexico City. New York buzzed with productions and promotional tours, while the UK delivered its own high points: the Boardmasters Festival in Cornwall, the GRM Gala 2025 celebrating Black British rap culture in London, and the PFA Awards in Manchester honouring the best in football.

Add Netflix’s Wednesday season 2 promotions, Disney’s Freakier Friday revival, and a flurry of chic appearances from stars on set and onstage, and August 2025 proved a masterclass in celebrity eyewear.

Freaky Friday Press Tour

Two decades after swapping lives on-screen, Lindsay Lohan returns for the much-anticipated Freaky Friday sequel — and her eyewear has been just as transformative as the roles she made iconic.

At the London press tour, Lohan channelled the sleek authority of her film’s now-grown-up Anna Coleman with Saint Laurent Sun SL 557 Shade 001, a thin yet bold square frame that mirrored her polished, adult poise.

In Mexico City, she slipped into a more understated, intellectual edge with black Oliver Peoples Lumar OV5565SU 1731/R5, a choice that echoed the grounded sensibility of Tess Coleman — the mother she once hilariously embodied.

Finally, New York saw her embrace a touch of theatrical drama in burgundy Oliver Peoples x Khaite 1951C OV5573SU 1789/73, a frame as rich and layered as the generational story she’s revisiting on screen.

Wednesday Season 2 Promo

Catherine Zeta-Jones, who reprises her role as the elegant Morticia Addams, embodied dark glamour in Saint Laurent Sun SL 557 Shade 002 (havana) while in New York City.

Joy Sunday, beloved as Bianca Barclay, leaned into her character’s sharp sophistication with multiple standout looks: she shimmered in gold Miu Miu MU 52YS 5AK06S with brown-to-violet lenses in New York,

switched to sleek black Miu Miu MU 04ZS 1AB5S0 oval acetate sunglasses at the fan screening,

and later channelled feline mystery in Prada PR 26ZS 16K08Z cat-eye sunglasses at the Atlanta event.

Emma Myers, the radiant Enid Sinclair to Wednesday’s brooding shadow, brought playful vibrancy with red Etnia Barcelona Ibiza 08 in New York City. Please contact us for enquiries about this specific model.

Meanwhile, Hunter Doohan, who returns as Tyler Galpin, embraced sharp minimalism in black Saint Laurent Sun SL 462 Sulpice 001 at the “Wednesday Island Fan Event” in Sydney—perfectly in tune with his character’s enigmatic edge.

Weapons

Julia Garner was seen wearing Le Specs Scorpion Sport, a striking frame with charming metal detail in New York City. You can mirror her look with Givenchy GV40033U 01A, which captures the same sculptural edge in a luxury finish.

Caught Stealing

Austin Butler carried effortless cool through London, Paris, and even a quick New York sighting while promoting Caught Stealing. The actor leaned into timeless Americana with the American Optical Original Pilot C2 BT CL GYN Silver—a frame that’s as sharp and versatile as his globe-trotting August schedule.

He opted for Oliver Peoples M∆estro OV5590SM sunglasses at the UK Gala Screening. Please contact us for enquiries about this new arrival.

GRM Gala 2025, London

The GRM Gala once again spotlighted Black British music and style, with statement eyewear heating up the red carpet arrivals.

Alesha Dixon kept it classic in Ray-Ban New Wayfarer 2132 901/58 Polarised.

While rapper-podcaster Margs brought a sharp edge in Tom Ford Renee TF847 01B,  his co-host Loons went bold in Prada PR 09ZS (we carry the pink-lens version).

Actor-rapper Ashley Thomas (Bashy) made a luxe statement in Cartier CT0551S 004 with grey-to-pink gradient lenses.

Charli XCX brought her signature edge in black Balenciaga BB0321S 001,

while Little Simz amplified her powerful stage presence with Prada PR 17WS 1AB5S0 Symbole sunglasses—both proving that eyewear is as much a headline act as the music itself.
