Cat eye glasses
 |
Cat-eye glasses are a form of eyewear mainly for women. They are thick-rimmed glasses with the arms of the glasses joining the lenses at the very top corners. Audrey Hepburn's use of them in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's was notable. They were mainly popular in the 1950s and 1960s among fashionable women. They preceded the large bug-eye glasses of the '70s, '80s and '90s. Notable wearers of cat eye glasses were: Marilyn Monroe, Barbara Windsor, Dinah Manoff, Mary Whitehouse, Amy Lame, and Barry Humphries as Dame Edna Everage, amongst others.
