L.G.R Eyewear Shines on Screen, On Stage, and in the Spotlight
In the ever-evolving world of fashion and entertainment, few eyewear brands manage to blend craftsmanship, cultural relevance, and exclusivity quite like L.G.R. From Netflix blockbusters to red-carpet appearances and even the Royal Box at Wimbledon, L.G.R eyewear is consistently at the center of today’s most influential cultural conversations.
For independent opticians and boutiques, these moments aren’t just headline-worthy - they’re proof of how powerful an independent brand can be when storytelling and craftsmanship come together.
On Screen: Iconic Roles Meet Iconic Eyewear
-
The Sandman season 2 (Netflix)
Boyd Holbrook, reprising his role as The Corinthian, wears the Reunion Explorer in Light Havana. A model rooted in heritage and inspired by Ottica Bini in Asmara, the Reunion Explorer mirrors the sharp persona of the character, reaffirming how L.G.R designs seamlessly complement on-screen storytelling. -
Emily in Paris season 5 (Netflix)
Lily Collins (Emily Cooper) was recently spotted on set in Venice wearing the bold Orchid Bold in Panna, while Ashley Park (Mindy) added flair with the Orchid in Emerald Green. This continues L.G.R’s strong relationship with the series, which has become a global trendsetter in fashion. -
The Devil Wears Prada 2
Anne Hathaway (Andy Sachs) returns in one of the most anticipated fashion films of the decade, this time wearing L.G.R’s Khartoum sunglasses. The pairing of a fashion icon with a bold, heritage-inspired frame underscores the brand’s position at the intersection of cinema and couture.
Off Screen: A Royal Touch
At Wimbledon 2025, Prince William was photographed in the Royal Box wearing the Suez sunglasses in Havana Scuro with Green G15 lenses. Actor Paul Bettany was also seen courtside in his signature L.G.R collaboration model. These moments highlight how L.G.R effortlessly bridges cinematic storytelling with real-world elegance.
In the Spotlight: Ryan Reynolds
Adding to this momentum, Ryan Reynolds was recently photographed wearing L.G.R eyewear. Known for his sharp wit, international influence, and distinctive style, Reynolds represents the exact type of cultural relevance that makes L.G.R unique. His choice of eyewear underscores the brand’s ability to resonate not only with cinematic icons but also with real-world figures whose influence spans film, business, and global culture.
Reynolds’ endorsement is more than just a celebrity sighting - it’s a statement about taste, quality, and individuality. And it offers yet another touchpoint for independent retailers to connect with clients who want what their favorite stars are actually wearing.
The L.G.R Difference: Craftsmanship and Storytelling
Every pair of L.G.R frames is handcrafted in Italy using time-honored techniques. Founder Luca Gnecchi Ruscone built the brand around his family’s history in East Africa, where exploration and heritage inspire each design. These aren’t just frames - they are narratives of craftsmanship, adventure, and style.
For today’s customers, that matters. In a market saturated with mass-produced eyewear, L.G.R gives independent retailers a way to stand apart. When clients try on a pair of L.G.R frames, they aren’t just choosing sunglasses - they’re choosing a story to wear.
