Cheryl Cole blames sunglasses

X Factor contestant Nicolo Fiesta

Were sunglasses to blame for Nicolo Festa being eliminated from the X Factor on Sunday?

The student performed ‘Just Dance’ by Lady GaGa dressed in Ray-Ban Wayfarers in red which were later commented on by the judges.

Judge Cheryl Cole said after his performance ‘I didn’t love it Nicolo. I think the one thing above all that you need, is to redeem that connection and I didn’t like your eyes covered.

Phillip Schofield has also admitted he thought his sunglasses were to blame.

‘Well I think it was a mistake to put glasses on him. If anyone ever comes here as a guest and has sunglasses on, we try very politely to ask them to take them off, because you don’t get to see their eyes. There is a real barrier there.’ He said on This Morning.

Of course we think his sunglasses made instead of break his performance. For decades pop stars have incorporated Ray-Ban Wayfarers as part of their performance. It is the rock star equivalent of a shirt and tie and something no singer should be without. Even Lady GaGa has a pair.

Match your sunglasses to your hair colour

Sunglasses have always been at the forefront of cool, but they are currently having a serious fashion moment, leading designers to think outside the box and create some truly original, contemporary designs. Sunglasses Shop has a variety of designers, with a plethora of colours and shapes at the click of a button. Our team of experts are at hand to help you choose the perfect pair to suit your individual look and lifestyle, but to give you some initial inspiration; here
are a few colour- inspired tips to help you out when browsing our site.

You choose your hair colour to suit your complexion, so extend (and break) those rules when choosing your sunnies.

Hey Blondie: Rich and soft caramels, pastels and creams were rife on the catwalk this season, so go with these on trend tones to compliment your soft colouring. Black metal frames will turn heads when mixed with over sized, ‘look at me’ styles.
Try: Chloe Myrte Ivory or Ray-Ban 3026 Large Aviator Black

Chloe Myrte Ivory


Dark and mysterious:
Vibrant colours and embellishment such as crystals and gold detailing will add a contrast with stunning results when paired with dark tresses. Frames with tones of plum bring out blue and green eyes and Celtic skin tones, whilst olive skinned beauties can work metallics with panache.
Try: Marc Jacobs 298 Violet or Dior Sport 1 Rose Gold

Marc Jacobs 298 Violet Shiny Honey


Rustic beauty: Whether you’re a natural red head, or have gone for vibrant tones of pillar box red, it’s a colour that’s having all the fun this season, with the Mulberry S/S11 show being awash with marching red heads, proving that those who dare, win. Go for white, creams and blacks in cat eye shapes for a retro, screen siren look, or clash with hot pinks and cool blues in over sized 70s frames for a directional finish.
Try: D&G 3061 Honey or Chanel 5196 Light Turquoise

X Factor sunglasses

X Factor contestants Katie Waissell and Storm wearing Clubmaster sunglasses

X Factor contestants Katie Waissel and Storm already look like ready made stars as they stroll through London.

The hopefuls were looking good after making it through to the final stages of the popular TV series. The sun was not exactly sizzling but they both felt the need for sunglasses.

Katie wore a leather jacket with skinny jeans and sporting Clubmaster sunglasses, while Strom grabbed attention by colouring his hair red. No wonder he wore shades too.

Storm was also wearing Clubmaster sunglasses inspired by the popular Ray-Ban version loved and adored by celebrities.

Ray-Ban Clubmaster has a round frame that has become a favourite of Mischa Barton, Robert Pattinson and Paloma Faith. The right lens features a Ray-Ban logo decoration which is cut from quality glass for clear vision. There is also metal detailing on the temples which are expertly crafted by hand. This is vintage Ray-Ban at its ultimate best.

Kate Moss sports sunglasses in the rain

Kate Moss wearing Ray-Ban 2140 Wayfarer sunglasses


As one of the highest paid supermodels in the world it was easy to see why Kate Moss has been so successful when she wore sunglasses in the pouring rain over the weekend.

She refused to let the rain dampen her style as she enjoyed lunch with boyfriend Jamie Hince in France, where she is shooting for a Dior advertisement.

Despite a distinct lack of sunshine the model sported Ray-Ban 2140 Wayfarers as she attended lunch at Caf de Flore.

Kate is the only celebrity who could get away with wearing sunglasses in the rain. Not to mention leather trousers and a matching leather trim jacket.

If there is one look Kate always nails its Ray-Ban 2140 Wayfarer sunglasses combined with skinny jeans and a blazer combo.

While we love Kate and her effortless fashion sense, wearing sunglasses in the rain is a bit much. But perhaps she had a late night.

Katie to play sunglasses icon Jackie Kennedy

Katie Holmes wearing Ray-Ban Jackie Ohh III sunglasses

Katie Holmes is to star as Jackie Kennedy in ‘The Kennedy’s’, a new mini series that looks at the relationships between President John F. Kennedy (Greg Kinnear), his brother Robert F. Kennedy (Barry Pepper) and their father Joseph P. Kennedy (Tom Wilkinson).

We think Katie is the ideal choice. Her fashion sense is similar to that of Jackie O and often accessorises with oversized sunglasses – identical to those Jackie favoured following her time in the White House.

The actress wears a vintage inspired frame from the Ray-Ban Jackie Ohh collection that is inspired by Jackie herself.

Ray-Ban Jackie Ohh III
allows you to show your are unafraid of taking fashion risks (if the huge numbers of the

Jackie Ohh III
that have been sold mean the frame can now be considered a risk), but with the classic look and feel of a beautifully designed pair of sunglasses from a magical era of the White House.

Stars and celebrities love the look and anonymity of Jackie Ohh sunglasses. Ashley Greene wore
Ray-Ban Jackie Ohh
in ‘New Moon’ throughout the course of the film.

‘The Kennedy’s’ is set to air on the History Channel in 2011.

Red carpet face off: Ke$ha Vs Juliette Lewis

Ke$sha and Juliette Lewis wearing Ray-Ban Road Spirit Outdoorsman sunglasses

Ke$ha and Juliette Lewis have given a certain mirrored aviator quite the red carpet workout this summer.

We noticed that the Ray-Ban Road Spirit Outdoorsman first appeared on Juliette Lewis at the Ray-Ban Aviator: The Essentials re-launch back in May.

The actress and singer donned a pair of the cool shades on the red carpet as well as a pair of stonewash denim jeans, which she layered with a red top, a blue denim and a leather jacket.

A couple of months later, Ke$ha wore the same sunglasses to the Moorea Beach Club at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where she was hosting hosted an exclusive invite-only pool party.

Their sunglasses were originally designed for U.S. military pilots in 1937. Now their ridiculously cool shades form part of the Ray-Ban Outdoorsman collection and are the hottest accessory to own this season.

Ke$ha opted for a feathered hair accessory, while Juliette toughened up her look with a leather jacket.

But while Juliette looked absolutely rocking, Ke$ha added a bit more dazzle with a black frame and mirrored lenses.

The coolest edition to the Ray-Ban Aviator family yet, the Road Spirit Outdoorsman Aviator features colourful rims, a bold top bar and laminated temple tips.

Pay home to your favourite guitar heroes with the Ray-Ban Road Spirit Outdoorsman Aviator.

Trend watch: Ray-Ban 4141

Pixie Lott, Fearne Cotton and Pixie Geldof wearing Ray-Ban 4141 sunglasses

Round sunglasses are the one to watch this season, and have amassed a celebrity following which now includes Mishca Barton, Pixie Geldof, Pixie Lott and Fearne Cotton. The list is growing by the day and throughout the UK we are seeing more and more people wearing them as a cool alternative to the Wayfarer and Clubmaster that dominated the look of 2009.

The Ray-Ban 4141 gives more than a mere nod to the cat-eye trend and is one of our favourite frames this season. The size of the frame also gives nod to the classic, retro glamour which young London starlets seem to adore.

Ray-Ban really can do no wrong! Their sunglasses are carved and carried by the world of fashion, celebrity and sport, and really throw down the gauntlet in terms of style. Although we love the iconic styling of the Wayfarer and Aviator styles, it is nice to supplement change with a shade like the 4141.

With a great range of colours for every occasion and every outfit, maybe the 4141 will be the next sunglass to keep coming back season after season.

Lady GaGa angers Beatles fans by playing John Lennon's piano

Lady GaGa wearing Ray-Ban 2140 Wayfarer sunglassesThe son of John Lennon has caused outrage among Beatles fans after allowing Lady GaGa to play their heroes piano.

Sean Lennon had tweeted a photograph of the Aljandro singer seated at the white grand piano.

But in response to criticism he later removed the snap of his friend.

Fans ranted that she was not worthy to play the antique.

Sean said, 'Pianos meant are to be played. Why is everyone so uptight?

'What should we do, lock it away in a dusty room? So judgemental...'

He added, 'come on, lighten up...life's too short, there're enough real problems in the world....

'Firstly, he gave that piano to my mother for her birthday, it is hers, secondly, he was not uptight the way you seem to be.'

While Beatles fans were concerned that Gaga was playing the piano, her fans were sleeping in the New York streets for a chance to see her play on the Today show.

Gaga tweeted encouragement, 'Thousands of precious lil monsters are sleeping in street outside TodayShow.

'May NY watchover u, + may u sleep smiling under the stars. Amen.'

Lindsay Lohan sentanced to jail

Lindsay Lohan wearing Ray-Ban 3016 Clubmaster sunglassesLindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 90 days in prison after breaching the terms of her probation.

The actress broke down in tears as the Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel handed down the term and blasted her for not taking her probation seriously.

The Mean Girls star must also serve 90 days as an in-patient on a substance abuse programme once she is released from jail.

In an attempt to avoid jail after it was ruled she violated her probation by repeatedly missing court-ordered alcohol education classes, Lindsay said that
she did not realise she had not been keeping up with the order and insisted a busy work schedule kept her from attending.

She maintained, 'I was taking it seriously. I wasn't expecting any special treatment.'

'I'm not taking this as a joke. It's my life and my career, something I have worked for my entire life.'

'I have tried to do the best I can. It's just been such a long haul. I don't want you to think I don't respect you and your terms.

'I really did think I was doing what I was supposed to do, and I mean it with all my heart.'

But the judge was insistent, 'I couldn't have been more clear [about my orders]. There are no excuses.'

Lindsay had failed to attend once-weekly classes at an alcohol-education programme at least nine times since October 16.

Inspired by the fifties, but originally released in the eighties, the Clubmaster is a classic, retro frame and deserves respect. The Clubmaster is one of the most popular icons from the Ray-Ban collection and now represents an entire family of models.

The Clubmaster became an icon of style and design in 1986, and signalled the birth of a timeless legend. The Clubmaster has gradually earned its place as an essential fashion accessory for men and women, the style that has become internationally famous thanks to the hot, young stars of Hollywood.

This highly influential frame has been seen perched on top of Robert Pattinson, Katy Perry and Lady GaGa. They may be too young to remember its heyday. But Kristen Stewart, Hayden Panettiere and Mischa Barton are also keen on this cool design. These cool shades have also been well-received by those that grew up with its clean lines, as well as those that are discovering the
frame for the first time.

Cheryl Cole struck down with malaria

Cheryl Cole in the Ray-Ban 3025 Aviator Cheryl Cole has been admitted to hospital following a romantic holiday to Africa.

The singer collapsed during a photo shoot on Saturday and was initially diagnosed with exhaustion.

But friends of the X Factor judge say her condition dramatically deteriorated the next day.

Doctors took urgent tests and admitted her to hospital where it was confirmed she was suffering from the highly infectious malaria.

The 27-year-old is thought to have caught the deadly disease while holidaying in Tanzania with her dancing partner Derek Hough.

A source told The Sun, "She told doctors she'd had stomach pains since her return from Tanzania. On Sunday evening her condition deteriorated so rapidly she knew it was something serious."

"She'd spent 48 hours in bed trying to sleep off what she thought was a stomach bug. She was extremely weak, sweating and drifting in and out of consciousness. She was driven to hospital where tests showed malaria. Everyone is really concerned. She is very ill."

It is thought that Cheryl will remain in hospital and under close observation for the next couple of weeks before being able to rejoin the rest of the X Factor team.

Cheryl Cole has gone from WAG to fab through a stint on reality TV. The 27-year-old has made herself one of the central characters on The X Factor, as a replacement for Sharon Osbourne, and has become one of the most watched fashionistas around.

Her style is classic with a modern twist; chunky accessories, massive handbags, anything that makes her stand out. She also has a few favourite pieces that she cannot get enough of including the Ray-Ban 3025 Aviator.

The 3025 is the number one sun style in not only the Ray-Ban sunglasses collection but on an international scale. It was originally designed for US military fighter pilots in 1937 to protect them from glare at high altitudes whilst maintaining a clear field of vision. Today it is the ultimate provider of style and cool yet still reflects the importance of anti-glare and UV protection with polarised lens technology.

Incorporate a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses as part of your look and you will be in great company. Serious stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Ashley Greene, Anna Friel, Beyonce Knowles, Cheryl Cole, Jennifer Aniston, Kanye West, Leona Lewis, Mischa Barton, Sienner Miller and Victoria Beckham have all worn Ray-Ban sunglasses. However, you do not need to be a red carpet regular to pull off this cool style. Ray-Ban is all about self expression and is fully focused on providing stylish eyewear that compliments you, the wearer. Update your wardrobe and give it an entirely new angle with the Ray-Ban 3025.

Vanessa Hudgens 'still hurt' by naked pictures

Vanessa Hudgens in the Ray-Ban 3025 AviatorHigh School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens has revealed she is ‘still hurt’ by nude photographs of herself that were leaked online 3 years ago.

The topless photographs circulated the internet back in 2007 when the actress was just 18-years-old.

The 23-year-old told US Glamour magazine, ’I think it has made me stronger, but it still hurts.’

‘It sucks because [the photos were] supposed to be private, but at the same time a lot of actresses do it [in movies].’

She added, ‘Eventually, I’m sure that I will [too]. But I don’t know if I would be able to do it now.’

The ‘Sneakernight’ singer also opened up about her relationship with High School Musical co-star Zac Efron, 22.

‘We got lucky because we started off together, so I think people like us because they fell in love with our characters.'

‘Right off the bat, we had a connection. I think everybody could see it. When we had our audition, they paired us together. And he was adorable.’

Vanessa works the hot floral trend with a pair of Ray-Ban 3025 Aviators in gold, proof that even someone as pageantry as Vanessa is can pull off the Godspeed of Ray Ban sunglasses.

America was the first to go crazy for the Ray Ban aviator. First the US army pilots, then the traffic cops and finally, Tom Cruise in Top Gun. Now is the turn of Leona Lewis, who has been soaking up the L.A. sunshine with the help of Ray Ban's ultraviolet technology. After all, what's international stardom without a pair of beaming pair of Ray Bans?

Although this year has been primarily dominated by the wayfarer there's still more than enough room for the aviator within the industry, commonly appearing alongside its Ray Ban cousins in fashion editorials, celebrity photos and retail outlets from around the world.

Sex and the City 3 plans dropped

Sarah Jessica Parker in the Ray-Ban 4099All plans for a third instalment have been shelved after the sequel received scathing reviews.

After 12 years, 94 episodes and two blockbuster movies, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are out of work, reports the Daily Mail.

Entertainment Weekly said of the film, 'SATC 2 transformed four once mildly likeable characters into rancid, obliviously over entitled grotesques.'

The film also performed disappointingly at the box office, coming in third in the U.S on its opening weekend and taking in $37million compared to the first movie which raked in $57million.

Everybody had hoped that there would be a third instalment of the smash hit to complete a big-screen trilogy - even the cast.

SJP recently said, 'I hope Carrie will live on.'

And John Corbett, who plays Aiden Shaw, said, 'I think the girls are up for [another movie] and Michael Patrick King has lots of ideas.'

Grazia reports that SJP has been hard hit by the decision to bring an end to SATC.

A source told the publication, 'SJP did not see this coming,'

'She has been in tears about it all.'

Ray-Ban 4099 Gradient Grey

Not for the shy, Sarah Jessica Parker stands out from the crowd in Ray-Ban 4099, a single lens shield with a large contoured eye shape. Retro and round sunglasses are big this season but the visor still shines bright.

Ray-Ban 4099 is a large contoured square shape in a trendy wrap. The thick line of propionate emphasises the lens shape of this strong and athletic style. It is worth remembering that all Ray-Ban lenses are UV protected for maximum protection as well as style. This Ray-Ban shield hugs the face and protects even at the edges. The 4099 is ideal for those with an active lifestyle or an
advanced sense of style. For SJP it is the ideal accessory.

This hot fashion pick comes in an array of colours including deep red, shiny black, gradient brown, black and gradient grey – as seen on SJP. Other celebrities who have worn this type of style include Lady GaGa, Rihanna and Gwen Stefani, that value tradition but also have a taste for fashion. Walk confidently with this stylish shield on your face. Who would mess with someone like that? Nobody, that’s who.

Eclipse gets rave reviews

Kristen Stewart in the Ray-Ban 2140 WayfarerEclipse, the third instalment in The Twilight Saga based on the novels by Stephanie Meyer, has received rave reviews ahead of its opening this weekend.

The film has received positive comments from the papers Variety and Hollywood Reporter, which suggest the film is the best in the series so far.

Peter Debruge says in Variety, ‘finally feels more like the blockbuster this top-earning franchise deserves … Despite the somewhat simple-minded source, the
producers plot everything as if it were a strategic game of chess’

‘Eclipse feels the most cinematic of the series so far.’

A view echoed by Kirt Honeycutt of the Hollywood Reports, who thinks ‘Eclipse [is] a film that neatly balances the teenage operatic passions from Stephenie Meyer's novels with the movies' supernatural trappings’.

The film critic especially likes its light sense of humour, highlighting dialogue that vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) says to Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) about werewolf Jacob Black (Taylour Lautner) ‘Doesn't he own a shirt?’

Out of the three main characters it is Taylor who is picked out, ‘[He] nearly steals the movie with his ripped muscle and steely acting. He definitely has the 'it' factor Hollywood always looks for.’

Eclipse opens in the US this Friday and in the UK on 9 July.

The Wayfarer is one of the most successful frame styles in the history of eyewear, a rare retro classic inspired the 1950s so popular with celebrities and Ray-Ban fans alike.

Ray-Ban released its mythical Wayfarer in the 1950s, a decade of profound change, or at least development, because fashion was becoming increasingly important. Sunglasses were beginning to be perceived as an essential fashion accessory, thanks, in no small part, to James Dean who wore a pair of oversized black wayfarers in the 1955 film Rebel without a Cause. Sunglasses were no longer just objects to be worn for practical reasons.

Like many other Ray-Ban models, the Wayfarer has a simple design and is so easy to wear, which is available to buy from Sunglasses Shop in an array of sizes and colours.

Michael Jackson sells 4 million albums in the year since his death

Michael Jackson in the Ray-Ban 3025 AviatorMichael Jackson has made £657 million since his death a year ago today.

A staggering 4 million of his albums have been sold around the world, plus a million more by the Jackson Five and the Jacksons, making approximately
£250 million in album sales.

About £3.3million was also made from ringtone sales in America.

Add in 12.9 million track downloads in the U.S over the past year, along with 26.5 million in international downloads, and that is another £23 million.

His executors have reportedly paid off nearly £136 million off his £340 million debt.

There is also £1.3 million from digital performance royalties from music subscription services and £3 million from global digital performances, making a total of £291 million.

Michael died of cardiac arrest at his home. The exact cause of his death is still not known.

During his time on earth, the singer sold more than 750million albums and was the proud owner of 13 Grammy awards. His signature vocals, dance moves, and the way he dressed have influenced pop culture throughout the world and he will sorely be missed.

It is hard to imagine something so current as old, but the Ray-Ban 3025 Aviator was created shortly before World War II, 1939. The Ray-Ban Aviator is the epitome of cool and throws down the gauntlet in terms of style. Its teardrop shaped lenses have shaded some of the most famous faces in modern history including the great King of Pop. The Aviator has a classic style that no other sunglass can touch. The frame is beautifully shaped and has a thin metal wire frame that serves to flatter. The Ray-Ban signature logo on the lens adds a note of authenticity and accentuates the timeless shaping. With its thin metal wire frame and teardrop shaped lenses this statement shade cannot be mistaken.


The 3025 Aviator is one of many iconic styles taken from the Ray-Ban sunglasses collection and comes in a number of ways for you to choose from. Legendary, timeless and original - three words to perfectly describe these sunglasses.

Has Megan Fox had plastic surgery?

Megan Fox in the Ray-Ban 3025 Aviator Megan Fox has sparked speculation that she has had plastic surgery after appearing gaunt at the premiere of her new movie Jonah Hex.

The Sun newspaper described the 24-year-old as having 'utterly smooth, mask like features' that looked like the affects of a cosmetic procedure.

The publication also said that the actress appeared to have ‘a slight trout pout' caused by possible collagen injections and that her breasts were 'rigid'
and 'gravity defying.'

An onlooker said of her appearance, ‘Megan looked gorgeous - everyone's jaws hit the floor. But her boobs didn't look natural.’

Another source added, ‘Megan was so naturally sexy - that's why she was considered the best-looking woman on Earth. But recently she's looked too skinny, stiff and a little fake.’

Megan, who recently announced her engagement to long term boyfriend Brian Austin Smith, has since revealed she is more in love with her fiancée than ever before.

She told People magazine, ‘We're just even more committed to each other than we always have been. I'm more in love with him now than I was in the beginning.’

She also said of their nuptials, ‘It's not going to be a big wedding. I'm not one of those girls - if it happens, it will be very low-key and quick and unplanned.’

The Ray-Ban 3025 Aviator, as seen on Megan Fox, is synonymous with Top Gun star Tom Cruise and the all American macho male yet is unisex and worn by women around the world. All the Hollywood guys and dolls own aviators now but so few own the great Ray-Ban Aviator. Those on the ball are the gorgeous Anna Friel, Katie Holmes and Dakota Flanning. This distinctive sunglass has also been seen on David Beckham, Ronan Keating and John Candy, another timeless Ray-Ban classic but with that little bit extra.

There is no hotter way to pay homage to your favourite celebrity than by wearing the cool sunglasses they wear. And while some put on a specific brand for big sponsorship money, they will not put on a lame pair for any amount of dough.
