Sophia Loren sees the world through rose-colored glasses

January 18, 2010

Sophia Loren was a presenter at the Golden Globe Awards last night, and along with her daring black dress, the actress boldly sported her spectacles.

Many stars seem to opt for contacts on their walk down the red carpet, but Loren chose to wear gold-rimmed glasses with a pink tint to the event. She wore the same pair to the premier for her latest movie, Nine.

The actress seems to have followed the advice of eyeglasses experts, who recommend that those with warm complexions, like Loren, choose frames that match their golden skin tone.

For individuals with cool coloring, silver frames or a more neutral shade might prove to be the most flattering colors for eyeglasses.

Prescription eyeglasses wearers might opt to buy a second pair of glasses for fancy occasions that feature embellishments like rhinestones or bold, trendy plastic frames.
Of course, sunglasses are an excellent way to make an eyewear statement.

The American Optometric Association recommends wearing UV-protected shades to shield your eyes from the sun's damaging rays, so people who frequently don their specs might consider investing in a pair of prescription sunglasses.
