Fresh off having the most popular music video in YouTube/Vevo’s history (“Bad Romance” with 140 million views and counting), Lady Gaga’s latest – “Telephone” – featuring Beyonce, has made its debut on the Web.

Lady Gaga has made quite a reputation for herself with her wild outfits and sunglasses. And in “Telephone,” she not only displays several vintage style sunglasses, but even goes as far as wearing a pair of shades made of lit cigarettes. Now those are smoking hot shades!

Lady Gaga understands the true value of sunglasses as the ultimate accessory. Check out the following snap shots of the different glasses featured in the video, including a pair of vintage Chanel Sunglasses worn by Lady Gaga. The video is included below as well. It’s interesting, but racy, so be warned….

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!

Get Closer to ‘The Closer’ with Paul Smith PS-3008

September 23rd, 2009 | Posted in * Women's Sunglasses *, Blog, Celebrity Sunglasses and Eyewear, Must Have Womens Sunglasses and Eyewear, Paul Smith, Shop Online | No Comments

Kyra Sedgwick, star of the television series 'The Closer,' wearing Beausoleil Sunglass Model s212.Paul Smith Spectacles Model PS-3008 Color Onyx Gray
Paul Smith’s PS-3008 is a perfect replacement for the DISCONTINUED Beausoleil S/212 that Kyra Sedgwick wears on ‘The Closer.’ Not only is it similar, but its even better, and its available for online ordering!

So, we have been getting a ton of email inquiries about Kyra Sedgwick’s sunglasses on ‘The Closer,’ and a little web analytics has revealed many hits on our site for people searching for this frame. So we are going to do what we do best and give you the inside scoop on your favorite eyewear.

The frame that Kyra is wearing is a sunglass by Frederic Beausoleil, model S/212. Frederic Beausoleil is a French eyewear designer. And yes, we do carry his line. The ‘bad’ news is that this frame has been DISCONTINUED; It is no longer available. In fact, we sold the very last one that Beausoleil had.

The GOOD NEWS is that we have put our skills to the test to find the ultimate replacement for you. In the picture above to the right of Kyra in her frame, you can see Paul Smith’s PS-3008. This frame is very similar to the Beausoleil S/212, but perhaps even better ;) .

A ‘closer’ look reveals that the Beausoleil frame Kyra is wearing is in fact slightly to shallow (not enough depth in the frame vertically) and to boxy on the edges. This makes the frame run slightly wide for her face and boxes her up.

On the other hand, the Paul Smith PS-3008 is actually a much more attractive version of Kyra’s frame. You are going for the same look, but with finer details that will accentuate all of your best features. It is slightly narrower and with a little more depth, making it a much better fit size-wise for the average woman. It also has a little more of an outwards angle on the edges which in addition to the slight cat-eye, gives more of an upward lift (very inexpensive face-lift, right?) as opposed to the Beausoleil’s boxiness. The Paul Smith would definitely be a much better fit with its beautiful shape.

Why simply look like Kyra when you can actually look better? Purchase the Paul Smith PS-3008 below.

$279 (includes applicable taxes and shipping)
