Garrett Leight California Optical has become the eyewear brand of choice for a new generation of celebrities who want frames that feel effortless rather than ostentatious. Founded in Venice Beach in 2011 by Garrett Leight (son of Oliver Peoples founder Larry Leight), the brand combines California's laid-back sensibility with Japanese manufacturing precision — creating eyewear that looks casual but is anything but.
At The Last Optical, we carry the full Garrett Leight collection. Here are the celebrities who have made it their go-to brand.
Tom Holland
Tom Holland wore the Garrett Leight Winward frame to the Spider-Man: Far from Home premiere in 2019 — a moment that introduced the brand to millions of fans worldwide. He has since been spotted in the Garrett Leight Naples frame during his appearance on The Graham Norton Show in 2023. Holland's repeated choice of Garrett Leight suggests a genuine personal preference: the brand's youthful energy and clean lines suit his off-duty style perfectly.
Pedro Pascal
Pedro Pascal has become one of Garrett Leight's most visible celebrity ambassadors, wearing the Rodriguez and OG Freddy P frames at multiple high-profile events. Most notably, he wore the OG Freddy P to the SAG Awards — proving that Garrett Leight can hold its own on the most formal red carpets. Pascal's frames have become as much a part of his signature look as his mustache.
Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway wore a custom Garrett Leight Naples frame with purple lenses in 2022, and was later spotted in the Doc Sun model while filming The Devil Wears Prada 2. Her willingness to experiment with Garrett Leight's more playful options — colored lenses, vintage-inspired shapes — demonstrates the brand's versatility beyond its classic California aesthetic.
Jay-Z
Jay-Z was photographed wearing the Garrett Leight Wilson M Sun at the Champions League Final at Wembley Stadium in 2024. The Wilson M is one of Garrett Leight's most iconic frames — a refined round shape that references mid-century intellectualism while remaining thoroughly modern. On Jay-Z, it reads as effortlessly cool: the kind of frame that says you know exactly what you are doing without trying too hard.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga has been spotted in the Garrett Leight Zephyr and Van Buren frames — choosing the brand for its more understated moments rather than her stage persona. This distinction is telling: Garrett Leight is what celebrities reach for when they want to look like themselves rather than a character.
Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds wore the Garrett Leight Brooks model in Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021) — a classic aviator shape that suited his character's blend of charm and danger. The Brooks has since become one of the brand's bestselling frames, with Reynolds' endorsement driving significant consumer interest.
Sienna Miller, Hailey Bieber, and Emily Ratajkowski
The brand's appeal extends across the fashion world: Sienna Miller wears the Clune Sun, Hailey Bieber favors the Bentley optical frame, and Emily Ratajkowski has been photographed in the Paloma. Each chooses a different silhouette, but all are drawn to the same quality: frames that photograph beautifully without screaming for attention.
Why Celebrities Choose Garrett Leight
Garrett Leight frames are manufactured in Japan using premium acetate and titanium, with hand-finished details that justify their price point. But the real appeal is the aesthetic: California warmth rendered with Japanese precision. The frames feel lived-in from day one — no break-in period, no stiffness, just immediate comfort and style.
