When a new word is created to describe your ultra-hotness, you know you’ve arrived. Case in point: Fergalicious. Stacy Ann Ferguson, aka Fergie, is a member of the wildly-popular hip hop group Black Eyed Peas, but her solo projects are what catapulted her into the music and style-icon big leagues. Her debut album, The Dutchess, spawned five Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 singles–three of which went to number one–and earned her multiple MTV, Teen Choice, and AMA awards. Her rock-star-chic style, as shown in these classic Ray Ban Wafarers available in dozens of frame colors, is as effortless as it is flawless. Her fergaliciousness is simply off the charts.  –rpuccia

Lady Gaga in Carrera Sunglasses

Take serious musical talent, add some David Bowie’esque theatrics, then toss in a whole lot of cray cray and you have Lady Gaga. Love her or hate her, there’s no doubt she’s got IT. But there’s more behind the “mask” than meets the eye. She learned to play piano from the age of four, went on to write her first piano ballad at 13 and began performing at open mike nights in NYC by age 14. She attended 2 1/2 years at the prestigious New York University Tisch School of th Arts before dropping out to focus on her music career. During her early time at Interscope Records, she worked as a songwriter for Britney Spears and labelmates Fergie and the Pussycat Dolls. Between her debut album, The Fame, and follow-up, The Fame Monster, she has sold over 15 million albums and picked up two Grammys along the way. This pop diva’s outrageous style is what really put her on the map. These fabulous, stand-out white Carrera shades are right up her alley. They come in four other glam frame/lens hues including black/yellow and red. Now these are something to go gaga over.  –rpuccia

Isla Fisher in Prada Sunglasses

Categories:

Actress Isla Fisher’s gut-wrenchingly hilarious performance as Gloria Cleary in the film “Wedding Crashers” alongside Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson earned her an MTV Movie Breakthrough Performance Award. Even more fitting, the role also got her a Teen Choice Award nom for “Choice Hissy Fit.” She is hitched to insane+funny guy Sacha Baron Cohen and the pair have a daughter, Olive. She totes their baby girl along in these glam, Salvador Dali-inspired Prada shades, which come in three frame/lens color combos. Probably never a dull moment in their household.  –rpuccia

Tyson Beckford in DSquared2 Sunglasses

These days, the female super model designation seems to be a dime a dozen–from Klume, Refaeli and Kerr to Bündchen, Valleta and Kurková. But the boys category is a whole other beast. You’ve got to really possess god-like features to be deemed a male super model and become a household name–hence the man who defines the title: Tyson Beckford. He’s got it all-his perfect (and insanely bankable) eyes, cheekbones, lips and chiseled physique defy human flaws.  He’s best known as THE Ralph Lauren model, but he’s taken to the big and small screen having appeared in movies like Zoolander and his current hosting gig on Bravo’s “Make Me a Supermodel” (yes girls, he can speak, too!). He rocks these red-hot DSquared2 shades like a true style maven. They come in four ultra-glam frame hues. When you’ve got it like Tyson, you’ve got to flaunt it –and get paid handsomely for it.   –rpuccia

Amanda, please. Actress Amanda Bynes just announced her retirement from acting at the ripe age of 29. She practically grew up on screen but says she just lost her “mojo” for it. Following her star-making roles on Nickelodeon’s sketch comedy “All That” and her own show on the network, “The Amanda Show,” Amanda starred alongside Jennie Garth on the WB sitcom “What I like About You” and hit the big screen in such films as “She’s The Man” and “Hairspray.” Her last film project may be the fall comedy “Easy A,” co-starring Emma Stone, due out in September. In the meantime, she looks chic and stylish in these Gucci aviator shades, available in eight frame/lens color combos. She’ll be back.  –rpuccia

Beyonce in Persol Sunglasses

Categories:

It was pretty clear who the “real” star was when the R&B girl group Destiny’s Child hit the charts in the late 90s. So it was no surprise when Beyonce’s first solo album in ’06, B’Day, debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. Her third solo album in ’08, I Am… Sasha Fierce, earned her six Grammy Awards, breaking the record for most Grammy Awards won by a female artist in one night.  In fact, she is one of the most decorated Grammy artists with a total of 16 awards— 13 as a solo artist and 3 as a member of Destiny’s Child. Her successful acting career (she starred in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Dreamgirls and earned two Golden Globe noms) and her family’s fashion line, House of Deréon, complete the trifecta. Throw in her marriage to rap mogal Jay-Z and she tops the list of the most successful entertainers of the generation. Beyonce works chic Persol shades which come in three classic frame hues. This “Single Ladies” gal certainly knows how to get a man to “Put a Ring on It.”  –rpuccia

SJP’s acting career took a seriously ironic turn, going literally from pimples and ponytails to Prada in one fell swoop. At 17, she gained attention as the nerdy and awkward teen, Patty Greene,  on the early ’80s CBS sitcom Square Pegs. But she is best known for her ultra-glamtastic role as Carrie Bradshaw in the HBO series, now blockbuster films, Sex and the City. She captured four Golden Globe Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and two Emmy Awards for her portrayal as the NYC diva-worthy writer and upstoppable fashionista. WIth Sex and the City 2 just hitting theaters a couple weeks ago, she continues her flawless style statements in the film in these classic aviator  Ray Ban shades, complete with chic head scarf. On the red carpet or big screen, the more we get to see SJP work it the better.  –rpuccia

Actor Val Kilmer attended Chatsworth High School in L.A.’s  San Fernando Valley where his classmates included Kevin Spacey. At the age of 17, he was the youngest student to be accepted into Juilliard’s drama program at the time. His break out role as naval aviator “Iceman” in Top Gun alongside Tom Cruise, sent girls swooning. His critically acclaimed portrayal of Jim Morrison in The Doors and big-budget action films  Batman Forever and The Saint followed in the mid to late 90′s. He subsequently dropped out of the blockbuster film arena for quite a few years, but reemerges this Summer, albeit looking a tad chunkier than in his glory days, in the  action comedy, McGruber, as bad guy Dieter Von Cunth. He wears these stylish Versace wrap-around shades in the film which come in three frame hues. Val forever, baby.

Usher is indisputably one of the smoothest cats around. Everything about him oozes suave. Usher Raymond IV came onto the scene at the tender age of 13 when he competed on the TV show Star Search in the early ’90s, where he was spotted by an A&R rep from LaFace Records and subsequently signed with the label. Since then, he’s sold a zillion records, snapped up five Grammys, and been named Billboard Magazine #1 Hot 100 artist of the 2000s decade. As if that weren’t enough, he started his own record label, US Records (instrumental in jumpstarting the career of teen sensation Justin Bieber), kicked in a reported $375M to be part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball franchise, opened several restaurants, and hocks his own fragrances for men and women. He is the ultimate in cool wearing  these slammin’ Carrera Endurance shades–available in three frame colors–blonde havana, crystal violet and matte black. With all that Usher has on his plate, OMG doesn’t even begin to cover it.
