Lady Gaga’s Top 7 Eyewear Brands

1. Chanel

Lady Gaga wore Chanel sunglasses at the Consumer Electronics Show while unveiling Polaroid's Grey Label products as the brand's creative director. The pair from that appearance is a black plastic frame with CC logos on the temples. 

Chanel appears at multiple points in her career, with the house's oversized, logo-heavy styles fitting naturally with her preference for frames that command attention.

2. Versace

The Versace pair most often identified on Lady Gaga is the vintage Gianni Versace 676 from the label's Update line, which appeared early in her career. 

The 676 was produced in several finishes, including a blue front with black arms, gold trim, and blue mirrored lenses, and another in gold with tortoise detailing. Versace appears throughout her documented wardrobe across multiple years, making the eyewear part of a longer relationship with the house.

3. Carrera

Carrera developed the original Champion silhouette in the early eighties, and the white version gained widespread recognition after appearing in Bad Romance. (Image source: Gagapedia)

Gaga wore the white Carrera Champion in the Bad Romance music video, appearing in more than one scene. The Champion belongs to Carrera's Vintage collection and draws its shape from the brand's early eighties aviators. 

The front is a shield frame with metal detailing at the bridge and a semi-teardrop lens. It's made of Optyl, a Safilo trademark that is ultralight and hypoallergenic. The line also came in black, striped Havana, and red, though the white version is the one tied to her.

4. A-Morir

A-Morir Studio has hand-made embellished eyewear in New York since 2008 and features its Lady Gaga commissions in its custom portfolio. The label uses crystals, chains, and metalwork applied to the front of the frame, building pieces designed for photographs and performance. 

A-Morir frames appear in her documented eyewear alongside houses many times their size, placing the New York studio in the same rotation as Chanel and Versace.

5. MYKITA + Maison Margiela

MYKITA is a Berlin-based manufacturer working in stainless steel, acetate, and its own MYLON material, with every frame handmade in Germany using the company's patented screwless hinge. Gaga has worn the MMDUAL003 from its collaboration with Maison Margiela.

The Dual line puts two colors on one frame, and her version comes in nude and black acetate with solid dark gray lenses on a 48mm eye and 145mm temples. The collaboration exists because both houses share an interest in deconstructing conventional forms and testing unconventional materials.

6. Dior

DIY versions of Lady Gaga's Dior cigarette sunglasses appeared across YouTube and craft platforms shortly after Telephone's release. (Image source: Gotta Have Rock and Roll)

Gaga wore custom cigarette sunglasses while promoting Telephone in New York. An auction house listing with a certificate of authenticity describes them as custom-made Dior Marlboro cigarette sunglasses, though the video version of the cigarette glasses used Ray-Ban frames customized by Lady Gaga and stylist Nicola Formichetti. 

Dior's eyewear collections feature acetate and metal with bold lens shapes, and she has been photographed in the house's frames on other occasions.

7. Port Tanger

Port Tanger is an independent eyewear brand named after Tangier, Morocco, and makes handcrafted Japanese acetate frames with 100% UVA and UVB protection across its range. Gaga has been photographed in the Ruh, a wraparound mask frame from the brand's permanent Icons collection, on multiple occasions, including a dinner at Soho House and running errands in Malibu.

She has also been seen in the Ayreen, a cat-eye frame with the brand's signature six-point arrow rivets. Port Tanger names each frame after Arabic words and cultural references tied to Tangier, giving the collection a distinct identity that sets it apart from European luxury houses.
