First invented in the 1930s, this quintessential silhouette has captivated mankind for decades. Surged into popularity by the classic films like Breakfast at Tiffany's, celebrities have emulated and updated this American beauty through to the modern era. Over time, classic cat eye sunglasses have been worn by such divas as Garbo, Dietrich, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and, most famously, the Empress of Sultriness, Marilyn Monroe.
