Several iconic looks from movies have become a permanent part of fashion history while initiating new trends in eyewear design that remain popular to this day. From Audrey Hepburn’s tortoiseshell glasses in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” to Tom Cruise’s aviators in “Top Gun,” the impact of movie-inspired eyewear looks has been felt not only on the big screen but also in daily life.

Audrey Hepburn’s Tortoiseshell Glasses in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”

Despite their understated design, Holly Golightly’s fashionable pairing of the frames with high-end attire has created an unforgettable image. For those seeking to emulate this look, consider opting for our tortoise shell sunglasses frames with thick rims. Choose from either yellow tortoise or oversized frames with a subtle cat-eye shape, reminiscent of Holly Golightly’s signature style.
