When it comes to luxury eyewear that balances avant-garde design with everyday wearability, few brands command the same celebrity following as Mykita. Founded in Berlin in 2003, the brand has become a fixture on red carpets, film sets, and paparazzi shots — worn by some of the most discerning style icons in the world.
At The Last Optical, we are proud to be an authorized Mykita dealer, carrying the same frames that grace the faces of Hollywood's elite. Here are the celebrities who have made Mykita their eyewear of choice.
Cate Blanchett
Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett has been a devoted Mykita wearer since at least 2015. She is most frequently spotted in the Mykita Eero — a refined, slightly oversized round frame that perfectly complements her architectural sense of style. Blanchett has also been seen wearing the Mykita Thompson sunglasses at various press events, demonstrating her appreciation for the brand's range from intellectual optical frames to statement-making sun styles.
Blanchett's affinity for Mykita aligns with her broader fashion philosophy: pieces that are impeccably crafted, never obvious, and always just a step ahead of the mainstream.
Sarah Jessica Parker
In HBO's And Just Like That..., the continuation of Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw wears multiple Mykita frames throughout the series. The show's costume designers specifically chose Mykita for Carrie's evolved style — still fashion-forward, but with a maturity and refinement that the brand embodies. Parker herself has been photographed in Mykita frames off-set as well, confirming that the choice was not merely wardrobe but personal preference.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga has worn the Mykita x Maison Margiela Dual 003 — a collaboration piece that fuses Mykita's technical precision with Margiela's deconstructionist aesthetic. The Dual collection features a distinctive double-frame construction that creates a visual depth effect, perfectly suited to Gaga's boundary-pushing style. She has been spotted wearing these frames both in public appearances and in behind-the-scenes footage.
Beyoncé
Beyoncé has been photographed wearing the Mykita Bernard Willhelm VERUSCHKA sunglasses — a bold, geometric frame from Mykita's collaboration with Austrian fashion designer Bernhard Willhelm. The VERUSCHKA features an exaggerated cat-eye silhouette that makes a statement without sacrificing the lightweight comfort Mykita is known for. It is exactly the kind of piece that works for someone whose every public appearance is a carefully considered visual moment.
Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt has been spotted in various Mykita frames over the years, gravitating toward the brand's clean-lined aviator styles. His preference for Mykita reflects the same understated sophistication that defines his broader wardrobe choices — quality materials, expert construction, and designs that enhance rather than overwhelm.
Why Celebrities Choose Mykita
The appeal is straightforward: Mykita frames are handmade in Berlin using proprietary sheet metal and acetate techniques. They weigh almost nothing, they never have visible screws, and they achieve a visual complexity that photographs beautifully from every angle. For celebrities who are photographed constantly, these details matter enormously.
Mykita's limited production runs also mean that wearing a pair is a quiet signal of insider knowledge — you will not see the same frame on everyone at a party.
