These mirrored sunglasses from [Zara](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zara-hair-1) draw inspiration from more lavish and exclusive styles making waves in recent months. The holographic shades boast a rimless design and plastic frames and pay homage to beach-ready styles from the 80s. Each set of frames is priced under $50 and is sold with an accompanying case.

In addition to Kim Kardashian's sculptural aviators from a recent collaboration with eyewear designer Carolina Lemke, other mirrored sunglasses releases from recent months include sporty iterations from [Balenciaga](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-resort-2027) and a holographic pair from singer Rihanna's newly teased Fenty collection.

As [sculptural, statement eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-eyewear) becomes more prevalent both on and off the runway, accessible brands like Zara are following suit with more affordable versions of these opulent accessories.
