Ruby Wax (born 19 April 1953) is an American-British comedian, actress, writer, and mental health advocate celebrated for her razor-sharp wit and fearless intellect. Rising to fame in the 1980s through her bold comedic performances and incisive celebrity interviews on The Ruby Wax Show and Ruby Wax Meets…, she became a defining voice of British television. In later years, Wax turned her sharp observational humour towards mental health, earning acclaim for her bestselling books such as Sane New World and How to Be Human. Her openness, intelligence, and advocacy have made her both a comedic icon and a vital voice for emotional wellbeing and mindfulness.

Ruby Wax’s style is as distinctive as her personality—vibrant, confident, and brimming with individuality. She favours bold colours, tailored blazers, and statement accessories that reflect her energetic spirit and sharp sense of self. Her eyewear is a key part of her signature look: Wax has often been seen wearing striking frames from Maui Jim and Oliver Peoples, opting for angular cat-eye shapes or sculptural acetate styles that exude creative sophistication. Whether on stage, at a literary festival, or on screen, her glasses are both expressive and empowering—an extension of her wit and wisdom, perfectly balancing intellect with irreverent glamour.
