I like when Naga Munchetty on BBC Breakfast wears her glasses. She looks just as lovely with or without and isn't vain enough to use them to promote her intelligence.

Gok Wan as his glasses seem to go with his personality

Louis Theroux - I've been told I look like him and it's a massive compliment because he's a fine fine man.

I always thought Elton John looks great in his crazy glasses especially in the 70's !

Kate Silverton, the newsreader. Her frame really suits her face shape.

Elton John always had the most fabulous glasses . I try to follow his lead but when Healthcall came to my house to sort my eyes the other week the most jazzy were purple so I got those ... I'm Elton in training

I have to say my spectacle wearing style icon is Gok Wan. Hes just so cool. His glasses make him who he is.

Jennifer Aniston always looks good in them & if she can inspire a whole generation to copy her hairstyle.....

EmHar Sat 02-Jul-16 10:07:00

Yes Diane Keaton; she wears them most of the time and looks fabulous; you can't pick someone who doesn't normally wear them............what about Clark Kent!

Buddy Holly - he always rocked his glasses and it was totally a part of his image.

Dannydog1 Sat 02-Jul-16 09:33:31

I think I look great in glasses lol!! as does anyone who wants to change their appearance - would love to see Leonardo di caprio in nhs-style glasses tho!!

I suppose Trevor McDonald, despite all the adversity when he began his career he has risen to be top of his game and an amazing documentary maker

Kate Silverton, the news reader. She rarely wears contact lenses as she looks so good in glasses.

Candelle Fri 01-Jul-16 22:46:41

Sophia Loren always looks v glam with hers.

I think I emulate her (note..., 'think')..........
