From pre Oscars primping to presenting awards, two of Hollywood’s hottest male leads were spotted in Oliver Peoples yesterday. Gerard Butler was out in Beverly Hills wearing the Connolly while getting ready for his night at the Oscars. Later in the evening, Robert Downey Jr. stepped out onto the red carpet in Sheldrake Storm Grey with a custom blue tinted lens to compliment the blue in his chic Lanvin ensemble! Robert Downey Jr. also wore the Sheldrake while presenting the award for Best Original Screenplay alongside actress and comedian Tina Fey and even later that night at the infamous Vanity Fair Oscar party. They were inseparable!
Nothing is better to compliment the red carpet than a hot pair of shades!
