Lights, camera, LGR: Iconic frames in film
Some sunglasses become more than accessories – they become part of cinematic history. LGR eyewear, handmade in Italy and steeped in timeless design, has found its place on the faces of modern film icons. If you’ve ever admired a character’s eyewear in a movie and thought, “I need those,” you’re in luck: many of the frames seen on the silver screen are available right here at The Eye Establishment.
From the glamour of red carpets to the intrigue of a whodunnit, LGR has made its mark in the world of cinema. These eye frames blend function with statement-making form – perfect for anyone with an appreciation for style, performance and subtle flair. Whether on-screen or off, they’re worn by those who value quiet confidence and a look that lingers in the memory.
Scene-stealing specs: LGR glasses in focus
With Marvel’s 2018 smash hit Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the film’s high-energy aesthetic is reflected in the LGR Dakhla and Cecile frames, worn by Evangeline Lilly. These designs are as sharp and dynamic as the character herself, with clean lines, bold silhouettes and a distinctly retro-futuristic appeal. It’s not hard to see why these glasses became part of the story’s visual identity.
Or consider Netflix’s 2019 murder mystery flick Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, where Leslie Odom Jr.’s character Dr Lionel Toussaint dons the LGR Reunion in Black 01 with Yellow Gradient Photochromic lenses. The effect? Sleek intelligence meets subtle eccentricity – perfect for a murder mystery that revels in visual detail.
In 2015’s high-octane thriller Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Tom Cruise can be seen sporting not one but two pairs of LGR sunglasses - Comoros and Tangeri. Lightweight, durable and undeniably cool, these frames are the perfect choice for daring field agent Ethan Hunt.
Away from the silver screen, some of cinema’s biggest stars, including Timothée Chalamet, Kate Hudson, Adam Driver, Colin Farrell and Anne Hathaway routinely sport LGR eyewear.
From red carpet to real life
It’s easy to assume these on-screen looks are out of reach, but the truth is more democratic. These sunglasses are available to you, whether you’re walking the red carpet or your local high street.
