Sam Reid (born 19 February 1987) is an Australian actor acclaimed for his commanding screen presence and magnetic, period-perfect poise. After making an impression in Anonymous and Belle, Reid has consistently drawn praise for roles that balance intensity with elegance. Most recently, he’s captivated global audiences as the charismatic and enigmatic Lestat de Lioncourt in AMC’s Interview with the Vampire, bringing a fresh sensuality and gothic grandeur to the iconic role. With his refined diction and brooding charm, Reid is fast becoming a leading man of both prestige drama and genre intrigue.

His personal style leans sharply tailored with a moody, modern classicism—think velvet blazers, monochrome suiting, and high-collared shirting that nods subtly to his on-screen personas. In eyewear, Sam favours refined silhouettes with cinematic edge: gold-rimmed aviators, vintage-inspired rounds, or acetate frames in rich tortoiseshell or whisky-hued browns. Labels like Bottega Veneta, Cutler and Gross, and Celine Homme align with his understated luxury. Whether at a film festival or in character as the immortal Lestat, Sam Reid’s sunglasses exude quiet sophistication—mysterious, timeless, and steeped in allure.
