Just after dawn on February 11, 2015, Hollywood legend Tom Cruise was seen hopping out of a cab in the heart of Mayfair, London, and heading to one of the city’s most famous addresses for an elegant night out the Scott’s restaurant. The occasion? A cozy dinner rendezvous with two equally luminous stars—Penélope Cruz and Salma Hayek. On stage, with paparazzi lenses flashing from every angle, Tom Cruise effortlessly stole the spotlight not only because he had the charm of a time never-ending but because he was wearing the one, the only classic Ray-Ban New Wayfarer RB2132 sunglasses. Under the dim lights of a chic London evening, his eyewear possessed bold overtones of charisma and a laid-back approach.

This ensemble certainly was not the exception to Tom’s long track history of off-duty movie star wearing the best wardrobe. His sleek all black brought in his typical sartorial minimalism, but wore in with a relaxed vibe that was still impeccable and old school Hollywood cool in feeling.

Despite most people keeping their sunglasses to use in daytime adventures, Cruise made after-hours eyewear their own, proving you can be just as bright with the right frame, day or night. He was able to make a strong visual statement dining among fashion royalty — Hayek, Cruz — even in what seemed effortless ease.

These are available in 3 sizes: 58-18-145, 55-18-145, 52-18-145, suitable for many face shapes and preferences, and are real unisex classic style items for those who love everlasting style.
