The Many Shades of Lady Gaga: Is There a Sunglasses Style She Hasn’t Worn?
Blog Styleite recently did a piece about the many sunglasses styles Lady Gaga has worn over her brief period of fame. It’s only been about two years since her debut The Fame appeared, and since then, Lady Gaga must have looted through every designer sunglasses store to find this eclectic assortment of shades.
To follow the Styleite piece, Lady Gaga has often been spotted with a pair of rounded frame sunglasses or, as they call them, Lennon-esque shades. Perhaps John Lennon might have preferred something more modest, but considering the singer sported the style in the “Paparazzi” video and on the street, it’s safe to say that this seems to be her preferred look. The Paloma Picasso frames – a combination of rounded, gradient lenses with an angular frame – is a variation on this. To get your own Lady Gaga look, consider these rounded frames by Ray Ban.
Gaga’s style isn’t always all over the place, and from the pictures Styleite gathered, she appears to go for a classic look on occasion, donning a pair of Ray Ban wayfarer sunglasses. Finding this style isn’t difficult. Everyone from designer eyewear retailers to Claire’s and Target carries this frame. How you wear it, however, may make you look like Lady Gaga – or like a poor Katy Perry imitation.
Shield frames are a common look seen on the singer, but rather than being average club wear, the frames often reflect her unique style. A while ago, we saw rapper Kid Sister in a pair of studded shield sunglasses, and Gaga, similarly, does her own thing with this versatile style. Worn in the “Just Dance” and “Poker Face” videos and in variations in concert, shield sunglasses offer Gaga the largest space for style experimentation.
In fact, outside of the Styleite piece, Gaga has been seen wearing an ‘80s-style pair of cat eye sunglasses.
If you’ve been keeping track, oversized and aviator shades are two looks we haven’t seen Gaga sport. A basic Google search for both of these comes up with little evidence she has worn either out in public. Are they too trendy to be worn by this avant-garde pop star? Maybe she has a few stashed away in her closet for casual days.
