Did you tune in to\u00a0the BAFTA Awards last night?<\/p>\n

While everyone was talking about Leonardo DiCaprio finally getting\u00a0an award for Best Actor and The Revenant being the clear winner of the night\u00a0(and of course, that controversial comment from Stephen Fry…) we only had one thing on our minds. We couldn’t help but notice\u00a0the amazing\u00a0glasses that certain celebrities were sporting on the red carpet.<\/p>\n

So, here’s a run down of the top eyewear moments spotted at the 2016 BAFTAs.<\/p>\n

Best Statement Specs – Stanley Tucci<\/h2>\n

When it comes to looking great\u00a0in glasses, Stanley Tucci is a clear winner in our eyes. The Hunger Games and Transformers actor is well-known for his outstanding\u00a0eyewear style\u00a0and he looked as dapper as ever at the BAFTAs, teaming a tuxedo with a pair of statement specs.<\/p>\n

His glasses of choice were a pair of thick-framed wayfarer style glasses that complemented his formal attire, with the unmissable C\u00e9line three dot detail near the arm. Get the look with the\u00a0C\u00e9line CL 41382<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0which feature the same black rectangular frames and silver side detail. \"C\u00e9line<\/p>\n

Director Steven Spielberg\u00a0narrowly missed out on the Best Film award for Bridge of Spies, which went to The Revenant instead, but\u00a0we think he definitely deserves an award for his amazing glasses.<\/p>\n

The film legend\u00a0looked dashing on the red carpet in a retro-inspired ensemble, featuring a bow tie and a pair of vintage clubmaster-style glasses. We don’t know where his stylish specs are from, but they’re\u00a0very similar to the Persol PO3105VM glasses<\/a><\/strong>, which feature\u00a0round lenses and subtle browline frames.<\/p>\n

Award for\u00a0Classic Eyewear\u00a0– Cuba Gooding Jr.<\/h2>\n

Cuba Gooding Jr. likes to mix things up\u00a0in the eyewear department and is regularly spotted in a variety of styles, however he chose to keep thing cool and classy for the red carpet.<\/p>\n

His BAFTA 2016 look featured a clean-cut\u00a0suit and tie and a pair of classic rectangular-framed specs, proving that sometimes, simple is best. If you love Cuba’s timeless style, get the look with the Infinity 7006 glasses<\/a><\/strong> in gunmetal grey. \"Infinity<\/p>\n

Best Glasses Selfie! – Mark Ruffalo & Tom McCarthy<\/h2>\n

Finally, we couldn’t fail to spot this fantastic celebrity selfie, featuring three of our favourite spectacled stars of the night.\u00a0Avengers star Mark Ruffalo shared this snap of himself with Stanley Tucci and director Tom McCarthy as they watched the awards show together.<\/p>\n

We’ve already covered Stanley’s look, but\u00a0Mark Ruffalo wore a very similar pair of black wayfarer glasses that seem to have a matte finish. Get the look with the Savannah 8121 glasses<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in matte black rubber.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tom McCarthy wore a pair of sleek rectangular frames similar to the Ray Ban RX5246 glasses<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So there we have it, the best eyewear moments of the BAFTAs 2016.<\/p>\n

While we loved all of these looks, we couldn’t help but notice the lack of female stars wearing glasses. Is it still considered a no-no to wear eyewear\u00a0with evening wear? Well, we think that women should embrace their glasses\u00a0as much as men and rock them on the red carpet!<\/p>\n
