As the multibillion-dollar contact-lens industry shows, there are a lot of us who don’t ever want to be seen in glasses. But glasses don’t have to mean mousy or ugly. Check out these celebs rocking sexy eyewear:
Sarah Palin
No matter what you think of her politics, most everyone agreed that the former governor of Alaska and vice-presidential candidate looked pretty darn alluring in her Kazuo Kawasaki lenses. -
Johnny Depp
The" Pirates of the Caribbean" stalwart is so gorgeous that he could probably wear lab goggles and look good. These say, "Yes, I'm a bad boy - but I'm sensitive." -
Whoopi Goldberg
She’s made such a point of being quirky and funky that "The View" co-host would probably sport strange glasses even if she didn’t really need them. -
Steve Martin
The actor, writer and comedian just may be the originator of the sexy-nerd look. It’s worked for decades. Still does. -
Susan Sarandon
She doesn’t wear them all the time, but glasses make the actress look even more winsome and vulnerable than usual. -
Richard Gere
Simple silver wire-rims fit Gere’s straight-ahead, classically handsome features. A guy who looks like this just has to be smart, kind and sexy. -
Martin Sheen
These round frames make him look scholarly and thoughtful, especially when he peers over the top. -
Brad Pitt
Is he trying to make himself look ugly? The glasses are OK, though we’re not sure they’re prescription lenses. But the hair – all we can say is lather, rinse, repeat. -
Meryl Streep
The best (and most chameleon-like) actress of our time has worn every kind of glasses from horn-rimmed to tinted. Here, at an “Iron Lady” press event, she’s sporting hip yet square frames. Margaret Thatcher never would have touched them, though. -
Bono
Are they goggles? Lightly-tinted sunglasses? Lightly-tinted eyeglasses? The rock star wears them all the time, he says, because of his sensitive eyes.
