Brits have revealed the top 15 celebrities whom they believe have the most stylish eyewear – with Johnny Depp and Lady Gaga topping the list.

Other stars sporting trendy specs Jeff Goldblum, Victoria Beckham, and Sarah Jessica Parker – while fashion designers including the late Vivienne Westwood and Karl Lagerfeld also made the list. The poll of 2,000 adults found that, of those who wear glasses, almost a quarter (23%) have picked theirs out based on what their favourite specs-wearing celebs wear.

And over half (57%) named Pharrell Williams among the famous faces with unforgettable eyewear, due to their unique frame shape and style. Meanwhile, 62% agreed that Anna Wintour's shades are particularly memorable – as she is very rarely seen without them. The research was commissioned by Specsavers ahead of London Fashion week, with the brand's style editor, Bianca Swan, saying: “Everyone on this list is an icon in their own right – but their styles have no doubt been enhanced because of their glasses.

“Eyewear isn’t just an accessory, it’s a statement that allows individuals to showcase their own unique personality and style. It’s great that celebrities are making glasses a popular fashion accessory. The connection between these icons and their glasses shows how people see eyewear differently now.

“In a world where experimenting with self-expression can help us feel empowered, the purpose of glasses has become much more than to help us see better – they're a celebration of style and individuality.”

The study also showed 54% now believe it is trendy to wear glasses, with almost two-thirds (62%) saying wearing them can make a person look more stylish. And a quarter who wear non-prescription glasses do so because they want to make a fashion statement. More than half (56%) think society’s general perception of people wearing glasses has become more positive over the last 10 years.

And 70% believe the fashion industry has become more effective in allowing everyone to find a pair of glasses that matches their personal style, according to the OnePoll research. Whether opting for a classic (35%), subtle (15%), or trendy (10%) eyewear style, 86% believe everyone should feel confident in wearing glasses, no matter what the occasion may be.

Bianca Swan, from Specsavers, added: “Looking at these fashion icons, it's clear that glasses aren't just practical – they're a key part of personal style, and making a statement about who you are. Take Anna Wintour, for example – her frames are classic, but memorable, as they have become part of her iconic image, and are instantly recognisable. It’s important to remember that whatever glasses you do wear, it’s a personal choice to you. As long as you feel comfortable and confident, that’s all that matters.”
