Tom Cruise as fictional rock star Stacee Jaxx in the 2012 musical film Rock of Ages, captured with an irresistible mix of swagger, chaos, and uncontrolled sex appeal. But apart from the tattoos, leather leggings, and topless hooliganism, it was his outrageous glasses that sealed the style. Cruise sported the Dior 0158S sunglasses – a frame that got the outrageous glam of 1980s rock culture spot on.
The Dior 0158S is a striking style in Dior men’s sunglasses, with a confident pilot-shape silhouette that veers toward the space age. With its streamlined double bridge, these glasses are the definition of vintage swagger mixed with haute couture chic. The colorway Cruise wore, the T64, unites gradient brown-translucent brown fronting with golden metal accents and dark gradient lenses—grasping edge and poise with one striking statement.
This intense sunglasses choice wasn’t just cosmetic—it was a part of the personality. Rather than wielding them for looks, Cruise used the Dior sunglasses as a means of conveying the inaccessible quality of a rockstar forever shielded from the world. Whether swaggering onstage or slouching in a haze of groupies and booze, the frames stayed on, more like protective gear against stardom and inner emptiness.

In Rock of Ages, style is acting—and the Dior 0158S frames helped to enable Tom Cruise to fully immerse himself as a rock star Stacee Jaxx who attracts many women around. The frames weren’t just a style statement; they were a complement to his devil-may-care strut, bad boy antics, and hugemongous ego.
