One of my favorite things that it sortof related to this is HUGE sunglasses.
My friends wear them all the time and it's a bit sad. If you're really pretty, why would you hide your face behind huge sunglasses like that?
Then it dawned on me. Celebrities wear them to conceal their face when they go out in public. They don't WANT to be noticed, so they wear huge masks over their face.
People saw these "upper status" girls doing it, and they copied it in an attempt to appear the same.
Thus: huge sunglasses as a status symbol.
- run4yourlives 17y agoYou do realize those large lenses are all part of the 80's retro look that is so big right now? I don't think it's as much to do with celebrity behaviour as it is the fact that past fashion tends to re-emerge after 20 years or so.
- chadgeidel 17y agoExactly. And how did sunglasses get to be a status symbol in the first place? Because in the "early days" of Hollywood, celebrities had to wear them due to the brilliant lighting required on sets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunglasses#Modern_developments http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunglasses#Modern_developments [citation needed - I know]
- blhack 17y agoWow, I had never seen that before! The lights totally makes sense, though.
