Taylor Sheridan and John Linson’s Yellowstone universe has never simply been about cattle ranches, land wars, and family power struggles. Across six years of the franchise — and now with the arrival of Dutton Ranch, created by Chad Feehan — the series has quietly become one of television’s strongest style references for modern Western fashion. The new 2026 series follows Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton as they risk everything to begin a new life in South Texas, only for their fresh start to collide with dangerous rivalries, unforgiving realities, and a powerful neighbouring ranch determined to protect its empire at all costs. Rugged denim, heavyweight suede jackets, sharp tailoring, cowboy hats, and naturally, statement sunglasses have all become central to the visual identity of the Dutton universe.

What makes the eyewear in Yellowstone and Dutton Ranch so compelling is its authenticity. Unlike the overt luxury seen in glossy city-set dramas, the sunglasses here feel lived-in, practical, and deeply tied to character. Aviators weathered by the Montana (and now South Texan) sun, dark wraparound frames suited to ranch life, and understated luxury labels hidden beneath classic Americana styling all contribute to the show’s quietly influential aesthetic. The new series also introduces the affluent Jackson family, led by formidable matriarch Beulah Jackson, whose granddaughter’s growing relationship with Carter, Rip and Beth’s adopted son, adds another layer of tension and glamour to the expanding Western saga. Once again, the Yellowstone universe proves that Western style and luxury eyewear make an unexpectedly perfect pairing.

Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler – The Minimalist Ranch Icon

Rip Wheeler’s style has become one of the most copied looks in contemporary television. Black jackets, black denim, black hats, and equally understated eyewear. Rip rarely embraces flashy accessories, instead favouring practical sunglasses built for ranch life and long days outdoors.

In Dutton Ranch, Rip is consistently seen wearing gold Oliver Peoples Clifton OV1150S 503585 squared aviator sunglasses featuring brown gradient photochromic lenses. This colourway is currently sold out but available for pre-order by contacting our team.

However, we do have the silver version with grey lenses available in limited quantities.

Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton – Power Dressing with Sharp Frames

Beth Dutton remains the undisputed queen of modern Western glamour. Her wardrobe balances structured tailoring, printed silk blouses, leather outerwear, and dramatic coats with almost intimidating confidence. Her eyewear choices reflect the same energy: oversized square sunglasses, sharp cat-eye silhouettes, and dark lenses that add authority to every scene.

In Dutton Ranch, Beth is frequently seen wearing Oliver Peoples Lynes Sun OV5449SU sunglasses in transparent Washed Sunstone. This colourway has unfortunately been discontinued.

However, the Oliver Peoples Lynes in black is available for pre-order by contacting our team.

In episode 4, Beth returned to a familiar favourite from her Yellowstone wardrobe; the tortoiseshell Oliver Peoples Finley 1993 Sun OV5491SU 1742/52 sunglasses featuring green lenses.

Annette Bening as Beulah Jackson – The Elegant Matriarch

As the formidable matriarch of the wealthy Jackson family, Beulah Jackson introduces a distinctly elevated form of Southern luxury into the Yellowstone universe. Impeccably dressed and quietly commanding, Beulah balances old-money sophistication with intimidating authority, reflected beautifully through her eyewear choices.

Throughout the series, Beulah pairs affluent styling with commanding opticals and fashion-forward sunglasses.

First, she is seen wearing DITA Embra DTX155-01 rimless optical glasses featuring gold rivets and black iron temples. We currently have the last piece available at Pretavoir for this sophisticated frame!

Under the South Texas sun, Beulah opts for squared Vera Wang Camille sunglasses featuring transparent patterned acetate paired with elegant metal temples.

While we do not currently stock this exact style, our Ralph Lauren The Jacquie RL8209 610713 sunglasses provide a similarly refined atmosphere.

On another occasion, Beulah is spotted wearing Vera Wang Crystal sunglasses in dark tortoiseshell adorned with crystal embellishments.

Our DiorLuckyCharms B1I 26A1 sunglasses from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection offer a comparable glamorous aesthetic.

Ed Harris as Everett McKinney – The Local Sartorialist

A respected local veterinarian and Vietnam War Navy veteran, Everett McKinney brings understated sophistication to Dutton Ranch. His wardrobe reflects classic menswear with subtle tailoring and quietly luxurious accessories that suggest decades of effortless personal style.

Although unconfirmed, Everett is seen wearing a frame closely resembling Randolph Archer squared aviator sunglasses in gunmetal featuring American Gray lenses. Contact our team for enquiries regarding this eloquent frame.

Juan Pablo Raba as Joaquin Jackson – The Family’s Fixer

As the eldest son of Beulah Jackson, Joaquin Jackson operates as the family’s composed and calculating fixer. His style leans noticeably sharper than the ranch hands around him, blending tailored Western influences with polished contemporary menswear.

In episode two, Joaquin is seen wearing a sophisticated optical frame paired with clip-on sunglasses.

While the exact model remains unconfirmed, his style can be closely replicated with our Oliver Peoples Coleridge OV1186 5145 Gold optical glasses (last piece currently available),

paired with the Oliver Peoples Coleridge OV1186C 5035/71 clip-on lenses, available for pre-order by contacting our team.

From rugged ranchers to affluent Texas dynasties, Yellowstone and Dutton Ranch continue to shape modern Western fashion in surprisingly influential ways.

At Pretavoir, we remain dedicated to bringing you the latest television and celebrity eyewear sightings alongside one of the world’s most extensive selections of luxury sunglasses and optical frames; whether your style leans more The Duttons or The Jacksons!
