I like Stephen from Gogglebox, he really suits a nice pair of specs.

I think the Queen always looks very elegant in her glasses.
As for Harry Potter making it better for children to accept the need to wear them it had the opposite effect on my grandson who has worn them from an early age but hated others calling him Harry Potter and refused to wear one pair as they looked so similar to those worn in the films.

My glasses icon has to be Bernadette from The Big Bang Theory. Proof you can be sexy and wear specs.

I adore Sarah Millican and even though she doesn't try too hard to be stylish, she pulls it off anyway!

'Q' in the recent James Bond films (think Skyfall, Spectre, played by Ben Willshaw I think). The epitome of 'geek' style to me and reminded me of the glasses my Dad used to wear back in the 1960's. My son recently found out he needed glasses for driving, picked up the cheapest pair on the shelf, and with his general unkempt appearance had a definite look of Q about him!

Showing my age now but I remember buying Stevie Marriott sunglasses as a teenager.
However, one person who always looks good in glasses is my daughter. She entered the Specsaver spectacle wearer of the year many years ago when she was 19 and got all the way to the final in London. She was a runner up. She is now 36 and still looks great in glasses. Wish I looked as good in mine but sadly glasses don't suit me at all.
