British celebs and their LGR frames
With its emphasis on craftsmanship and quality, Italian eyewear brand LGR has produced some timeless frames inspired by bygone eras and the refined elegance of the early to mid-20th century. Such is the blend of tradition and innovation in LGR products that they have captured the attention of celebrities, royalty and sports stars worldwide.
The brand has found particular favour among British and European celebs, who appreciate its classic designs, traditional production methods and authenticity. Here are seven notable Brits who have proudly perched LGR glasses and sunglasses on their noses.
Lewis Hamilton
Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton is renowned for his smooth, clinical driving style and ability to adapt to changing conditions. Off the track, he’s known for his bold fashion choices, smart business investments and activism. He counts two LGR sunglasses models among his collection: the understated Dahlak in Gold and the versatile Dakhla Skin in Black.
Simone Ashley
Actress Simone Ashley has made her name in successful shows such as Bridgerton and Sex Education, finding a loyal fanbase thanks to her nuanced performances and comic timing. She has also become a fashion icon and has graced the covers of magazines like Vogue and Elle. The cat-eye Twiga sunglasses perfectly complement her chic, feminine style, enhancing her natural poise and commanding presence.
Luke Evans
Welsh actor and singer Luke Evans is no stranger to the spotlight. Having appeared in West End productions of Rent and Miss Saigon, as well as movies such as Fast & Furious 6 and Beauty and the Beast, his career is as versatile as his sense of style. He elevates his off-screen look with the Marrakech Bold frame in Champagne.
Prince William
There are few higher compliments for a brand than seeing royalty wearing their products. For Prince William, whose style is notoriously timeless and functional, the Suez frame is a perfect fit. Inspired by the perfectionism of Swiss architects, this model embodies the authentic craftsmanship that is key to LGR’s identity.
Paul Bettany
British actor Paul Bettany has a raft of hit movies to his name, from 2001’s A Beautiful Mind, in which he appeared alongside Russell Crowe, to The Avengers films. A longtime fan of LGR, his models of choice are the Pilot Superleggero optical frame and the Pilot sunglasses in Havana Maculato.
Charlotte Tilbury
The world’s number one makeup artist and beauty entrepreneur has a style that’s as precise and considered as her record-breaking product range. A picture of elegance and confidence, she favours the striking Raffaello frame in Havana Bottle Green, which complements her determined character and strong outfit choices.
Camilla Luddington
Best known as Dr Jo Wilson in American medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, Camilla Luddington has an understated, chic sense of style that incorporates bold prints and flattering silhouettes. With its charming, assertive design, the LGR Orchid frame is the ideal addition to the Berkshire-born actress’ wardrobe.
