We’re certain you are eager to see who wore what on the Red Carpet and we get it – the dresses and tuxes were as amazing as always. But while others might deal in Red Carpet fashion we (and we hope you too !) are more interested in seeing what eyewear the A-listers rocked last night!

Lots of celebs rocked this manly shape and we just loved how they looked in it. Let’s take a tour and see what else they brought on the Red Carpet!

We saw a lot of familiar figures wearing frames to match their looks.

Round, square, oversized and rectangular shapes made this edition of the Globes one of the most diverse ever.

Here are all the best eyewear looks:

Julia Dreyfuss

Our beloved VEEP came to pick up another win for her role as Seline Meyer and took the time to do a DJ sketch. For her performance, she chose a pair of highly oversized black round eyeglasses which ironically, suited her nicely!

Cuba Gooding Jr. and Hugh Laurie

Gentleman Cuba Gooding Jr. came as a presenter and to support his colleagues from American Crime Story: The People V. OJ Simpson .

To his flawless look, he added a pair of thin metal rectangular eyeglasses that gave him a smart and ideal look. The delicate frames suit his oblong shaped face and go well with the green blue tweed.

While not everybody can be Cuba Gooding Jr. you can at least still his look for the times you have to make an important presentation. The Prince frame in gray is a perfect match for smart occasions when you have to look your best. Like Cuba, match it with an oblong shaped face and it will bring harmony to your features.

Meryl Streep

Besides delivering a memorable speech, the world’s most awarded actress rocked a beautiful pair of rectangular cat eye glasses. Her mom look was as elegant as we expected from her. The frame is a smart combination between rectangular eyeglasses and cat eye influences – noticeable by the pointy temples.

The thin eyeglasses featured black tones at the upper side while staying clear at the bottom. We love you, Meryl.

Michael Shannon

Last year’s Best Supporting Actor winner, Michael Shannon , turned up in a blue tux matched with brown lenses Navigators . A bit out of the ordinary, these Navigators work best for men with blonde and light brown hair. It’s a cool alternative if you don’t want to go for the regular black.

Well played Mr. Shannon, well played.

Vince Vaugh

Hollywood funny guy Vince Vaugh was a presenter last night and we loved his classic look.

No the one for fashion risks, Vince came dressed in an all black tux matched with a rectangular black acetate frame. He often wears eyewear – both in his private life and on screen – but we think this was just the right choice for him. Unpretentious. Simple. Elegant.

If you want to keep it on the low then Hill rectangular glasses are the right choice. Emulate Vince’s look with these simple beauties that are perfect for any mature man look.

The black colorway makes them easy to match with almost anything. Also, remember the rules of choosing eyewear for your face shape. These rectangular eyeglasses have angular features which should be mellowed out by a round, oval or otherwise curvy face .

Nominated for his role in the haunting mini-series The Night Of , John Turturo surprised us with a rather unexpected look. The actor known for his unorthodox looks came dressed in a lovely tuxedo and wore a pair of brown round eyeglasses made from acetate.

Jeff Bridges – Hell or High Water as Marcus Hamilton

Cowboy and alpha male Jeff Bridges exemplifies why we are so in love with the Navigator trend.

In his latest movie, Hell or Hight Water, he rocks manly oversized Navigator sunglasses that your dad would be proud to have. We, however, recommend a more laidback version of them.

The Bryant Navigators are wide, tall and emulate that rugged masculine look. The straight, flat browline and straight bridge leave no room for interpretations. You are decisive in your actions and waste no time on trivial things. Fashion is just something that happens to come naturally.

Matthew Rhys – The Americans as Philip Jennings

Our favorite spy team is back for a new season and also got nominated for a Golden Globe. Russian spy Phillip Jennings wears a lot of eyeglasses to hide his true identity and from last year’s season, we loved his round metal frames .

Not only do they make him look inconspicuous but they revive that 60’s 70’s feeling when hippie movements were on the rise.

The Big Timer metal frame is perfect for emulating the spy look or looking hipsterish cool. Round and simple, this metal frame is true to the saying that simple is better. You don’t need a lot to look good and if unpretentious is your style then this is the way to go.

Taking office as President Lyndon B. Johnson, Cranston tries to emulate the former president as much as he can – down to the eyeglasses.
