Top Moments Where Hugh Grant In Glasses Or Sunglasses Was Just Enough.

One Red Nose Day And A Funeral

Hugh Grant returns in this sequel of the iconic Four Weddings and a Funeral. The years may have caught up with him, but the bumbling charm and the edgy yet elegant glasses look is still there. He sports a square glasses style in this, in the classic black colour. All that we can say is that Hugh Grant in glasses is a certain showstopper.

It’s a slightly larger frame, which lends a geeky chic vibe. But that’s the style of the season, and especially when paired with suits.

If you are looking for a similar style, you will certainly find one in our collection of square glasses.

Hugh Grant - The Gentleman

In The Gentlemen (2019), we witnessed an offbeat role played by Grant but as always, he was at his absolute best. In his innocent days, we were used to seeing Hugh Grant in romantic roles. In The Gentlemen, Grant played the role of Fletcher, a street-smart American and a drug dealer. And we just can’t imagine anyone else pulling off this role in a much better way.

On the screens, Hugh Grant in glasses has always been a sight to behold. However, we didn’t know that darker tints would look equally amazing on him. In The Gentlemen, Hugh Grant in sunglasses was a look that will be etched in the minds and hearts of all those who have watched him go about his role.

The iconic square sunglasses got even more iconic after Grant styled them with an unparalleled elegance and the polished charm that is distinctive to him. Here was Hugh Grant with thick and chunky frames with brown-tinted lenses - impossible to look away.

Look That Makes You Want To Own A Bookstore

The lovingly bumbling Hugh Grant - the gentleman charm continues in the 1999 film Notting Hill with an American beauty. Like us, Julia Roberts' character Anna Scott can’t help but fall in love with London bookshop owner William Thacker (Grant).

Grant starry-eyes portrayal is the major takeaway for all of us. But the best to come out of all is Notting Hill’s quintessential late-90’s fashion. From Julia Roberts green leather suit with black beret and Vans to Hugh Grant’s round glasses is the trend that continues till today.

The movie brings out a minimal, simple and wearable style that still feels relevant. Hugh Grant fashion as always is laid back yet perfectly chic enough. And not to miss his statement glasses but this time he kept them in the metallic round for coordinating a simple and minimal fashion.

Famously, he misplaced his glasses before heading to the movies and had to wear goggles instead. Happens to the best of us. With his roles, his glasses also remain the same but he still manages to portray it so well.

The Journalist and his vintage glasses

In The Remains of the Day (1993), the Academy Award-winning adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel, Grant plays a small yet impactful role. His part is of a doomed journalist who says a lot about the style. The actor's appeal is complete of the 1930’s period film where he stands out even after a minuscule role.

His exquisite styling includes slicked-back hair and vintage round glasses. Plus, the film is Merchant Ivory at its peak, so it had to include everything.

The Real Star Of Paddington 2

Much to your surprise, the real star of Paddington 2 wasn’t the bear. Starring as a faded actor Phoenix Buchanan is completely villainous and hilarious. His performance as a narcissist isn’t just approved by the critics but also won him a BAFTA nomination for the Actor in a Supporting Role. Now that he’s ageing like wine, he’s finally taking the roles he always wanted to play. Different from Oxbridge type, posh gentlemen, Hugh Grant isn’t just limited to being the good guy.

His ludicrously villainous role is truly a performance to behold. You get singing, dancing and Grant at his best. What’s more to ask for? Just like his new roles, he’s also done more funky and pastel glasses than ever. Sporting the Millennial pastel, his style and glasses choices in the film will only make you add more pastels to your collection.

Another One From Paddington

For a performance so unique and scene-stealing, it deserves another mention! Apart from pastel glasses, Grant also dons clear transparent glasses. They have been in trend since some time, probably because of their versatility. They suit most face types and skin tones, and even occasions. It’s a fun and playful style, quite like the film that Grant stars in.

We have our own range of these clear frames, in various shapes. Try them for that perfect look.

2020 Was Bad Until We Met Tennyson Foss

In the latest Netflix mockumentary Death to 2020, Hugh Grant portrays a history professor Tennyson Foss. For this role, Hugh was seen in silver-white hair and coupled with thick-rimmed tortoiseshell glasses which managed to confuse many fans.

Mostly recognisable for his usual salt and pepper-flecked locks, Hugh's character as a historian was almost unrecognisable. Thanks to those glasses, you’ll always manage to spot.
