Bold Face explores the cult of celebrity and the styles, trends and brands that stars show off in movies, at events and living their daily lives. To be considered for inclusion please contact Senior Editor, Deirdre Carroll.


The right eyewear can really make a character. It helps you forget you’re watching a celebrity and believe you’re seeing someone new. In this edition of Bold Face we highlight some actors giving eyewear that kind of great screen time…


Best known for his role as Jim Halpert on NBC’s “The Office,” John Krasinski, stars alongside actress Maya Rudolph as a young couple expecting their first child in the motion picture “Away We Go,” which opened this past weekend. In the film the couple prepares for the arrival of their baby by traveling across the country in search of the best place to raise their family. Visiting friends and evaluating cities along the way they eventually realize they must define a home on their own terms. In the film, John completes his character, Burt Farlander’s, look in the Joseph Abboud JA142 optical frame from Altair Eyewear…








Michael Sheen star of the Academy Award nominated film “Frost/Nixon,” returns to the big screen this fall in the highly anticipated second installment of the popular “Twilight” film series, “New Moon.” In the film Sheen portrays Aro, the leader of an ancient Italian vampire coven called Volturi, and his character is seen wearing the Calvin Klein Collection sunglasses CK7306S from Marchon. This new role is ironic as Sheen has also played the role of Lucian, the werewolf leader constantly fighting vampires in the “Underworld” movie franchise…










Rachel Griffiths has starred as Sarah Whedon in the ABC's hit show "Brothers & Sisters," about the drama surrounding a family's adult siblings, for the last three years. Not new to the television drama landscape, Griffiths played Brenda Chenowith in the wildly popular HBO series “Six Feet Under” before landing this role when that series ended. Regardless, she was recently seen in screen as Sarah wearing the Robert Marc style 546 sunglasses on “Brothers & Sisters". Next up for the actress is a role that has her once again visiting the brother/sister dynamic but in a much less prime-time friendly manner in the movie “Beautiful Kate” out later this year…








Quentin Tarantino is a strange dude. That is really neither here nor there when it comes to reporting what eyewear he has been sporting lately, just thought we’d throw it out there. If you needed further proof of his strangeness/creative genius look no further than his latest writing and directing effort, “Inglourious Basterds,” a star packed film about a group of Jewish-American soldiers, "The Basterds," who scalp and brutally kill Nazis during World War II out later this summer. See? You can’t make this stuff up. By the way, Tarantino has been wearing the Police model S8177 sunglasses from Eastern States.
