ic! Berlin changed the eyewear industry when it introduced the world's first screwless hinge in 1996. No screws means no loosening, no tightening, no trips to the optician for adjustments — just a patented sheet-metal construction that flexes, holds, and lasts. That engineering breakthrough, combined with bold Berlin-born design, has made ic! Berlin a favorite among celebrities who demand both style and substance from their eyewear.
At The Last Optical, we carry an extensive ic! Berlin collection. Here are the celebrities who share your taste.
Hugh Jackman
At the premiere of The Greatest Showman, Hugh Jackman was spotted in the ic! Berlin Urban model — a robust yet refined rectangular frame that added an intellectual edge to his already commanding presence. Jackman's choice of ic! Berlin reflects the brand's ability to balance masculinity with sophistication: frames that are substantial enough for a leading man but refined enough for a red carpet.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie has been photographed wearing several ic! Berlin models, with the Raf S. being her most frequently spotted choice. The Raf S. features a classic aviator silhouette rendered in ic! Berlin's signature sheet metal — creating a look that is simultaneously timeless and unmistakably modern. Jolie's preference for the brand aligns with her broader aesthetic: bold, functional, and never fussy.
Sandra Bullock
In The Blind Side, Sandra Bullock's character wore the ic! Berlin Power Law model — a strong, angular frame that perfectly complemented her character's forceful personality. The costume designers' choice of ic! Berlin was deliberate: the brand's no-nonsense engineering mirrors the no-nonsense attitude of the character Bullock portrayed.
Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt has been spotted in ic! Berlin frames on multiple occasions, drawn to the brand's combination of lightweight comfort and architectural design. For someone who splits time between film sets, press tours, and everyday life, ic! Berlin's virtually indestructible construction makes practical sense — while the Berlin aesthetic ensures he always looks considered.
Madonna
Madonna has worn ic! Berlin sunglasses at various public appearances, gravitating toward the brand's bolder, more geometric styles. Her choice reflects ic! Berlin's range: from subtle intellectual frames to statement pieces that hold their own against any outfit or setting.
Why Celebrities Choose ic! Berlin
The screwless hinge is not just a gimmick — it fundamentally changes how glasses feel and perform. ic! Berlin frames flex without breaking, adjust to your face shape over time, and never need tightening. For celebrities who wear their glasses 16 hours a day under hot lights, in transit, and through costume changes, that reliability is invaluable. Add Berlin's reputation for avant-garde design, and you have eyewear that is both a tool and a statement.
