Growing up, glasses may have made you an object of ridicule (was anyone else called four-eyes or was that just us?), but now there are so many fashionable options and statement frames that it’s easy to look iconic while wearing glasses.
These lesbian and sapphic celebs are making spectacles look spectacular. From stars who have made statement glasses part of their signature looks to superstars who wear fashion frames that make their outfit, to celebrities who are making our dreams come true with their sexy professor vibes, we’re loving that glasses have become cool.
Kehlani
Singer-song writer Kehlani is known for her fierce fashion sense and while she doesn’t wear glasses everyday, we love that she knows how to make glasses look cool.
Rachel Maddow
MSNBC newscaster Rachel Maddow has made short hair, a smart suit, and glasses a signature part of her style.
Gillian Anderson
X-Files star Gillian Anderson always looks chic — even that time she wore an exposed thong to the Vanity Fair Oscars party back in 2001 — but adding a pair of glasses gives her sexy professor vibes that we’re not made about.
Gabby Windey
Reality TV star Gabby Windy doesn’t usually wear glasses, but this suit and specs combo is making us rethink whether the see-through wedding dress is our fave look she’s worn.
Jenna Lyons
Real Housewives star Jenna Lyons, who was also the former creative director and president of J. Crew, knows how to make a fashion statement and her collection of chic specs are a big part of that equation.
Yasmin Finney
Somehow Heartstopper star Yasmin Finney looks even more stunning with these cool rectangular glasses.
Cheryl Dunye
Watermelon Woman star and director Cheryl Dunye has made thick glasses a major part of her personal style.
Billie Eilish
Somehow singer Billie Eilish is able to combine her sporty masc style with chic glasses to make her look even more stunning.
Lea DeLaria
Comedian and Orange is the New Black star Lea DeLaria has been sporting ostentatious glasses since the ‘90s. Her statement spectacles have become just as much of a signature as her course voice and dark sense of humor.
Demi Lovato
Pop star Demi Lovato always looks gorgeous, but we’re loving this more studious look on the “Cool for the Summer” singer.
Reneé Rapp
Singer and Mean Girls star Reneé Rapp's signature butch-meets-femme style is only enhanced by these oval frames.
Jenny Shimizu
Of course the woman who dated Angelina Jolie, Madonna, and Ione Skye in the ‘90s can make a pair of glasses look endlessly chic.
Janelle Monáe
Nonbinary singer and actress Janelle Monáe clearly knows how to have fun with a statement pair of glasses!
