The Many Eyewear Fashions worn by Paula Abdul

Filed Under Brand Wave, Celebrity Watch, Designer Sunglasses 


Former American Idol hostess, Paula Abdul, had an eyewear wardrobe that would rival Paris Hilton’s shoe collection. From Gucci, to Prada, to Valentio, she has displayed quite the collection. In several episodes of the famed show (before Paula was so rudely replaced, that is) our singer/judge was seen in dark sunglasses, somewhat hunched over the judge’s table. Many people claimed this was a result of her drinking and partying habits, and she was thus, in fact, hungover when she appeared on the show. Paula adamantly denies these claims, and is just a fan of fashion.

On a January 13th episode of the famous American show, Paula was seen wearing thick, Aviator style of sunglasses that appeared to be Ray Bans. On closer inspection they more likely were Valentino 1190/U frame sunglasses, which is more up the designer alley Paula so adores.

Not long after that she appeared on screen in Prada 14IV eyeglasses, though we were not formerly aware she needed corrective lenses. Try as we might, we could not discern what type of contact lenses Paula wore on the show.

Finally, Paula may have been wearing elaborate designer eyewear on the show to content with heavyweight judge Randy Jackson, whose love for eyeglasses pushed him to launch his own fashion line after the show became a massive success. Randy’s eyewear have not hit the mainstream as of yet, but his designers are remarkably innovative, fresh and flamboyant—somewhere between Ed Hardy and Alexander McQueen, though more targeting African American fashion trends and fashion than the skaters Ed Hardy attracts, or the upper-class fashion yuppies of Alexander McQueen’s clientele.
