L.G.R frames have appeared across film, television, and public events, including the Reunion Explorer in Light Havana in The Sandman and the Suez sunglasses with Green G15 lenses at Wimbledon. These recognizable settings give optical teams an opening to discuss the collection's Italian construction, mineral-glass lenses, shapes, and finish.
For independent opticians and boutiques, these moments are more than entertainment headlines. They create familiar reference points that can make a handcrafted independent brand easier to discuss with patients.
On Screen: Iconic Roles Meet Iconic Eyewear
In season 2 of The Sandman on 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 complements the character's sharp on-screen presence.
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' appearance is more than a celebrity sighting. It gives independent retailers another touchpoint for patients who recognize cultural style cues and want eyewear with a clear point of view.
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. The result is product with a story opticians can explain through material, shape, finish, and origin.
For optical teams, the collection offers a product story grounded in provenance, material, and character. Those details can be observed and explained when a client considers an L.G.R frame.
