Variety reports that oversized, "bug-eye" sunglasses inspired by 1970s and 1980s styles have become the standout accessory of the summer season. The piece frames the revival as the latest example of a fashion trend being adopted almost simultaneously by high-profile celebrities, and it doubles as a shopping guide to the look at a range of price points.

The article cites Jennifer Lawrence in Dior frames on New York walks, Rihanna in Balenciaga mask sunglasses at a Hollywood venue, and Rosalía in face-obscuring Balenciagas at the Los40 Music Awards. It notes the trend has also appeared on runways from Valentino, Fendi, Tory Burch, Yves Saint Laurent, Celine and Balenciaga, while figures such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and the late style icon Iris Apfel are described as long-standing devotees. Recommended buys span from budget options under £20 to designer pairs such as Dior and Balenciaga costing up to $620.
