8 Iconic Celebrities With Glasses: 2025 Eyewear Trends

Tyler's latest album, Don't Tap The Glass, and associated visuals and collateral lean heavily into retro glam, especially when it comes to eyewear. He prominently sports vintage-style Cazal acetate glasses, which are bold, chunky, statement-making frames that nod to '80s hip-hop aesthetics. Think Run DMC, but updated in color. Statement glasses elevate the party atmosphere he cultivates in this album cycle. For someone who wants a wearable model inspired by Tyler's look, going for thick acetate frames with dramatic shapes is key.

Billie Eilish is a musician whom musicians love to love. What she wears gets noticed and gets picked up by trend followers. Even when she opts for minimalist outfits, her eyewear choices often make her the center of attention. At the 2025 Grammys, she paired a sleek, all-black Prada look with small Chrome Hearts sunglasses. She usually wears thin frames, small specs, or quirky tints in other appearances.

Her style is all over the board, straddling oversized and tiny frames, giving her a flexible signature, but one thing is certain: she can go full dramatic or subtly stylish. That tension keeps showing how eyewear strengthens your fashion hallmark and keeps it interesting.

Musician revenue streams are rarely solely sales of their music, most often they arise from brand sponsorships. A$AP Rocky is a notable example who has expanded into fashion roles, being named creative director for Ray-Ban. That kind of role gives him clout and influence not only in what he wears, but also how eyewear becomes a touchstone in mainstream culture. His collaborations and curated looks often emphasize bold heritage styles of sunglasses and shades.

Her Love You Too Tour (2025) supports a brand-new album (The Crown) and revives her presence on stage. While Ledisi isn't often discussed in the fashion press in the same way as pop/hip-hop stars, her stage outfits feature striking eyewear pieces, oversized shades, and statement frames that help define her mature and award-winning performances and persona. Eyewear takes on an artistic form, akin to a mask, in this instance, and we cannot wait to see what these next performances unveil. 

With The Music of the Spheres Tour continuing through 2025, Coldplay is a pillar of modern music, spanning several decades and selling out world stages. Chris Martin and band members are less associated with eyewear than they are with scandals this year; however, in recent performances and red carpet shots, they are showcasing eyewear in their performances. Reflective or tinted styles in sunglasses, such as aviators, are often seen in sunny or festival settings. These are not statements per se, but they enter the ranks of eyewear influencers to watch.

Lady Gaga is a fashion icon, and her tours and recent releases make her as active now as she was five years ago. Her eyewear is as theatrical as her performance: oversized frames, exaggerated shapes, often custom. She continues to wear glasses/sunglasses not just for their aesthetic appeal, but also as symbols in her stage narrative. While much of her past eyewear moments are well known, her recent tours reaffirm her ongoing strong visual language. The Mayhem Ball is an extravaganza, and her visuals include multiple pairs of shades. 

Both artists are part of the 2025 Grand National Tour. While neither has an eyewear style that defines them to the same extent as Tyler or Gaga, they both incorporate glasses and shades into music videos, performances, and press imagery in ways that effectively convey emotion and are part of their personas and artistry. Think tinted lenses, dramatic silhouettes, sometimes vintage frames. These choices often align with the aesthetic of their albums (e.g., moody, intimate, stylised). 

Ariana Grande is also touring as of late 2025 and is in the spotlight thanks to her latest releases. Her fashion often features striking sunglasses (for red carpets and public appearances), as well as occasionally bold frames or shades that stand out, aligning with her high polish/pop aesthetic. Her accessories, including eyewear, tend to lean glamorous. 

Looking to be head-turning and have new frames headline your personal style? Everyone wants to take advantage of stylish frames for their 2025 look. Take a note from the artists above. 

1. Frame material matters — acetate frames tend to feel bold, vintage, street-weary; metal thinner frames lean more classic.
2. Silhouette and size are signature — Tyler’s big acetate, Billie’s tiny specs or huge shades; matching the scale to the face and the moment is essential.
3. Color & detailing — tinted lenses, mirrored surfaces, logo detailing, contrast arms (frames and temples) make a difference.
