Kurt Cobain's Christian Roths Immortalized on the face of the Nirvana front man and Grunge God, these pale oval shades helped cement Cobain's grubby, androgynous cool.

Thomas Crown’s Persol 0714s Auctioned off for $60,000 in 2006, these blue-lensed, collapsible Persols shielded Steve McQueen's steely blues as he lied, stole, and seduced his way through the 1968 original version of The Thomas Crown Affair. You can buy your own today for under $400, but the sapphire lenses are extremely rare and do not guarantee traction with Faye Dunaway. Photo: Silver Screen Collection/Getty Images

Karl Lagerfeld's Oversize Black Shades The Fashion Pope of Chanel is never seen without the following: a low silver pony, a billowing ascot, and a pair of black shades. They could be Wayfarers, aviators, black-as-night opaque, or north-south gradient, but they all guarantee complete pupil obscurity for King Karl. Photo: Ben Gabbe/Getty Images

Thompson’s Yellow Ray-Ban 3138 Shooters Hunter S. Thompson made these glasses a trademark — and then Johnny Depp wore a custom yellow-lensed pair of these while playing the gonzo journalist in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Featuring a "cigarette hole" allegedly originally used by hunters to hold their butts while they took aim, this twist on the military classic seems the just-right choice for a hard-smoking, hard-drinking Hunter whose prey was usually two-legged.

Prada's Minimal Baroque Sunglasses Distinguished by its rococo stems, this romantic style became a huge hit and celebrity favorite when they debuted at Prada's carnival-themed spring 2011 runway show. It remains to be seen whether the hyperidentifiable shape will hold up over time or doom them to the world of novelty knockoffs. Photo: Vanni Bassetti/Getty Images

Elvis Presley's Custom Neostyle Nautic 14K Gold Sunglasses Long before you could find sideburns-included knockoffs of these at the joke store, the King rocked these custom 14k gold aviators with “EP” initials custom fitted to the double-bridge and “TCB” (Taking Care of Business) on the temples.

Lolita's Heart-Shaped Shades Though the image of Lo Haze, the titular nymphette in Stanley Kubrick’s film, will forever be remembered seductively sucking on a red lollipop in these heart-shaped glasses, they never appeared in the film or Nabokov’s novel. No matter: This publicity image, burning with underage sexuality, is indelibly seared into our collective pop cultural consciousness. Photo: Courtesy Everett Collection

Ray-Ban Wayfarers Arguably the most iconic of shades, the Wayfayer emerged as a beacon of Hollywood glamour in the 1950s, notably adorning the gorgeous, sad mug of James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause. But it wasn't until 1983 when they took up what just might be permanent residence on sunglass stands the world over, thanks to a very different kind of hero: Tom Cruise in Risky Business.

Chloe's Swarovski Crystal Heart Sunglasses Though this style might evoke the glittery-white eye pencil, pleather pants, and soaking-wet shimmer lip gloss (in other words, all things Claire's) of the early '00s, these cheeky Swarowski-accented shades were designed for those walking red carpets rather than mallways.

Al Pacino’s Flashy Scarface Aviators There was no shortage of shades in Tony Montana’s wardrobe, but among the Carra and Porsche were these stunners. These Linda Farrow 6031 aviators with black metal frame and a white, almost opalescent, brow bar ooze with Colombian cartel opulence and remain an archetype of the '80s-bad-boy style.

John Lennon's Teashades Now known as “John Lennon” glasses, these wire-framed lenses became famous for shading the dilated pupils of the '70s psychedelic set. Since their hippie heyday, they've peaked fashionwise twice: Once in the early '90s, thanks to movies like Natural Born Killers, and again in 2011, when Lady Gaga super-charged the trend via Tumblr.

Robert DeNiro's Taxi Driver Ray-Ban Caravans It's not often that a psychopath is good for branding, but these rectangular wire-frames launched in 1957 got a major boost masking the mounting insanity in Travis Bickle’s eyes in Scorsese's 1976 dark masterpiece. The recently reissued model features variations (including white-gold frames) allowing you to find the perfect macho, maniacal, yet minimalist look just right for you.

Oakley Sunglasses At the turn of the last century, when cyber was the word, Oakleys were it for a huge swath of the population: teens, soldiers, policemen, postal carriers, beachgoers, athletes, and anyone with a fondness for a red-blooded, Army-of-one aesthetic. Now, of course, they look about as high-tech as R2D2. Photo: Ken Seet/Corbis

The Men in Black Ray-Ban 2027 and 2030 Predators Not only did this special Ray-Ban style offer secret agents Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones protection from the flashback of their memory-wiping devices, they also perfectly matched their super-sleek suits. More to the point, they looked majorly badass. Photo: Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection

Y2K New Year's Eve Sunglasses The servers are going to combust! The missiles launch themselves! The life-support systems go kablooey! None of the dire predictions surrounding the transition into Y2K came true. Turned out the only thing that happened when the calendar rolled from '99 to '00 was create a market for cheap plastic that left glitter on your forehead. Photo: Jim Bourg/Corbis

Shutter Shades These 2008 Alain Mikli's, famously worn by Kanye, are the latest in a long line of louvered shades (yes, including '50s models that resembled scaled-down Venetian blinds). Apart from providing a questionable degree of UV protection, these brought new life to the novelty sunglasses market. Photo: Getty Images/Getty Images

Steampunk Sunglasses Those who missed the post-apocalyptic Mad Max look that debuted in 1979 and kept up through the early '80s can take heart: This early industrial/post-industrial style is back, reclaimed by fans of the steampunk (a.k.a. steam-powered era) look. Part sun-shade, part welder's goggle, these suit both handlebar mustache aficionados and survivalists. Photo: Courtesy of Paul Smith

Brooke Candy's Bejeweled “Opulence” Though the plot points in Brooke Candy’s “Opulence” video connect excess with danger, the inspiration for the song and video actually came from a scene in Paris Is Burning, when members of NYC’s late-'80s drag ball scene define their opulent costuming as a projection of confidence and construction of safety. Certainly nobody's doubting that, as worn by Brooke, these crystal-larded shades designed by Nastasha Morgan are anything but a gloriously glittering sign of her empowerment.

Ray-Ban Aviators Commissioned by the U.S. Army during World War II, Ray-Ban developed these signature polarized teardrop lenses for pilots whose goggles couldn’t handle the high-altitude glare. General MacArthur publicly debuted them in 1942 and the style experienced a resurgence both in the late '70s, in the '80s with Top Gun, and in the late 2000s. Despite their association with the Unabomber, they remain a bona fide classic. Photo: KAZUHIRO NOGI/AFP/Getty Images

Joan Didion’s Dark Glasses The legendary writer has credited her slight stature for her ability to effortlessly access the inner circles of her often high-profile and highly paranoid subjects, and certainly her large shaded frames helped veil her incredibly keen eye for socio-political-cultural observation. In a 2011 essay for Vogue, Didion describes, with signature melancholia and candor, her childhood vision of an adult self swaddled in a sable coat and glamorously accessorized with dark glasses.

Stunna Shades Though the term is often used to describe sunglasses in general, it was likely first used in the early '90s to describe the sporty, oversize shades favored by afficianados of the Bay Area hip-hop style known as hyphy. If you're in search of a classic stunna shade, heed the results of one unofficial survey, which defined them “pretty much anything Birdman wears.” Photo: Lester Cohen/Getty Images

Browline Glasses Wildly popular in the '50s and '60s with everyone from Malcolm X to Lyndon Johnson to Vince Lombardi, browline glasses (so named because they echo the shape and weight of the eyebrow) dipped in popularity in the late '60s and '70s as they came to be associated with conservatives. But in 1985, along came Moonlighting, Bruce Willis, and his friend the browline sunglasses. Popularity surged, and surged again as they were featured in Reservoir Dogs in 1992 and of course Mad Men today. Photo: Ben Pruchnie/Getty Images

Hologram Sunglasses It may not be Tupac "live" onstage, but the '90s are alive and well with the recent revival of these novelty sunglasses. Forget eye contact: Depending on your taste, and the way the sun hits the lenses, your date will be watching skulls, marijuana leaves, and/or religious figures float in and out of view as you order lunch and discuss your future together.

Roger McGuinn’s Rectangular Shades The celebrated electric guitarist and front man for the Byrds’ is well known for his musical innovations and contributions to pop music, but he also did his part for style. At a time when tiny teashades ruled the scene, McGuinn's signature rectangular frames shook things up and cleared the way for far-out geometric shapes, including diamonds and hexagons.

Jackie O’s Sunglasses Even a lifelong fashion goddess like Jackie has her high-highs, and for us, years spent on the shores of the Mediterraean were it. Here she swapped her Massachusetts debutante decorum for playful, sun-soaked styles always topped with fabulous dark glasses — the embodiment of that sweet transitional moment between '60s mod and '70s glamour.

Stiviano’s Full-Frontal Shade The blanket, the newspaper, the head-turn: These paparazzi dodges have all been done. When V. Stiviano faced the press in the midst of the Clippers–Donald Sterling controversy, she went cyborg, opting for full-on, color-coordinated coverage with this wild mirror shield. Whether she was covering her pain or her paparazzi-value rate is a question for the ages. Photo: Bauer-Griffin/Getty Images

Cat-Eyes Born in the 1950s alongside the towering bouffants and beehives that rose up against the restraint of war-era style, cat-eye glasses first debuted as prescription lenses and didn't crossover into sunglasses territory until the early '60s. Since then, the style ebbed and flowed in popularity, but by this lap in the trend cycle it has proven itself a classic. Photo: Courtesy Everett Collection

Lady Gaga’s Jeweled “The Fame” Sunglasses Six years after the release of her debut album featuring them on the cover, these jewel-encrusted shades are still the accessory of choice for Gaga impersonators. And given all the DIY how-to videos floating around the internet, it’s unlikely these futuristic weirdlings will leave the costume party scene any time soon.

Lady Gaga’s Cigarette Shades The eyewear Gaga wore for the jailyard scene in her “Telephone” video challenges the very meaning of shades. Unorthodox materials aside, are they still sunglasses if they obscure all visibility? Do they require a warning from the Surgeon General? And do they come in menthol?

Miles Davis's Shield Shades The legend had not only talent but style seeping out of his pores.

Elisa Schiaparelli's Feather Glasses In her 1954 autobiography, outré fashion designer Schiaparelli laid down 12 commandments for women, including this gem: "Ninety percent are afraid of being conspicuous, and of what people will say. So they buy a gray suit. They should dare to be different." Firmly designing for the daring 10 percent, Schiaparelli crafted a number of surrealist flights of fancy, including these feathery specs.

Elton John’s Palm Shades Since at least the early 1970s, over-the-top shades have been such an essential part of Sir Elton's look that an appearance without them makes news. Drawn from a collection rumored to stretch into the hundreds of thousands (people actually believed this man was straight?), these ruby-red palm-frond frames originally worn in 1973 shine with the trademark joie de vivre characteristic of Mr. John's persona.

The Fabled Rose-Colored Glasses The origins of the idiom are hard to come by (some trace the shorthand for blithe optimism to an 1861 British novel) and it's unclear when the literal glasses appeared, but they enjoyed a good deal of popularity during the freewheeling '70s, when non-chemically induced good times were hard to come by.

Alaskan Inuits' Iggaak Hunting Goggles If you factor in the upcycling of local, organic materials plus an irreverent attitude, you could make a case for Inuits being the originators of hipster specs.

Bootsy Collins's Star Sunglasses Given his fondness for elaborate top hats, space-alien psychedlia, and head-to-toe candy-colored all-leather ensembles, Bootsy Collins's wardrobe wouldn't be dull without his bedazzled star sunglasses, but they certainly wouldn't be as Bootsy. Lucky fans who got their hands on the first run of his 1978 LP "Bootsy? Player of the Year" found a cardboard pair of the famous specs tucked inside the sleeve, but as the legendary bassist himself put it, there is really only one "rhinestone rock star monster of a doll."
