Then: Jackie Kennedy Onassis was always a chic lady, but it wasn’t until she left the White House and moved to NYC when her style blossomed. Her most memorable look: the Jackie O glasses, you know them, the large, round, dark frames that paired magnificently with a silk Hermes scarf and a trench coat. She truly was a betty.
Now: Because of the large nature of these famous shades, they seemed to have evolved into the go-to specs for Hollywood starlets looking to hide from the paparazzi. Unsuccessfully though, since you can’t find enough pictures of these girls wearing the glasses with or without a Starbucks Venti Latte in tow. This includes Katie Holmes, who coincidentally plays Jackie O. in the mini-series The Kennedy’s. I really hope the show ends up finding a channel to air on—if only for the good fashion eye-candy.
