A wise woman once said, sunglasses, like a red lipstick, change everything.
We so agree to that.
Believe it or not, a standout pair of sunglasses has the potential to take a look from normal to phenomenal.
Celebrities and sunnies go a long way back. In the past, sunglasses symbolised stature and popularity and hence celebrities ensured they always had their pair around.

With the sunglass industry evolving at a rapid pace, the choice bandwidth we have today is more than ever.
This year the trend toppers were the reflectors and the tinted glasses, giving us that dreamy vacay feels.

Kalki Koechlin
To mark its 20th year celebrations in India, Jimmy Choo at an event launched its latest sunglass collection. Kalki who was one of the invitees at the event, dressed up her face with a pair of cat-eye meets aviator shades from Jimmy Choo. Well, since then we have been stuck to this one.
Parineeti Chopra
Rocking the tinted trend, Parineeti looked Coachella ready donning a pair of rose gold tinted shades to the Global Citizen Festival this season. So fall and fabulous!
Kareena Kapoor
Looks like this mommy-to-be is already gearing up for the coming year. Earlier this year, Manish Arora did give us a hint with his avant-garde sunglass collection that rimless oversized shades will be the future. Looks like Bebo has already started to binge on this one. Looking absolutely gorgeous in her metallic aviators, Kareena just earned some extra brownie points for her maternity look sporting these spectacular spectacles.
While it was only early spring, Kareena wowed us with her gorgeous cat eye pair from Fendi. The steps on the stick added some extra glamour to Kareena’s appearances.
Alia Bhatt
While holidaying with her girlies, Alia gave a sweet pink-tinted surprise. Taking the reflector stories to all new highs, Alia’s rimless tinted frames made much headlines. We are all hots for this one and are still looking for our pair of rim less tinted frames, to end the year on a fashionable note.

Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor loves her cat eyes. The lady set her Global Citizen look on fire with a pair of distinct cat eye sunglasses flaunting that golden rim. Alien, oversized yet so on point.
Kangana Ranaut
Kangana Ranaut is all the rage when it comes to shades. With a face like that she works all the different shapes with much ease and attitude.
Earlier this year at a road safety campaign launch, Kangana may have caused a lot of accidents with her prim and posh statement appearance. Elevating her black and white separates was that attention seeking pair of oversized square sunglasses from Miu Miu. We are all hearts for this one.
With wooden glasses becoming the most talked about sunglasses of the year, our daring fashionista pulled off the trend leaving us speechless. Her wooden number from Prada was a mighty addition to Kangana’s Sunglass collection.
This cat-eye glasses fitted in an aviator set up was one of the favourites among fashionistas this year. Kangana looked the coolest carrying her Dior frames, courtesy her complimenting edgy persona.
Deepika Padukone
No one does round frames like Deepika Padukone. The lady has aced the trend and gave us some exceptional looks through the year donning her favourites. From our spies we heard the lady has a soft corner for her pair from Tom Ford.
