Description
Oversized round. Gold hardware. Medusa glamour.
Versace's oversized round sunglasses make a statement through bold proportions and unmistakable house detailing. The large rounded lenses feature a soft brown gradient tint and sit within a black frame accented by a slim gold-tone metal rim. A sculptural gold double bridge connects the frame, while the black temples are finished with a Medusa head medallion on each side.
The contrast between black, warm gold and softly tinted brown lenses gives the pair a polished, distinctly Versace finish. The generous proportions provide excellent coverage while creating a glamorous silhouette that works beautifully as the finishing touch to an outfit.
Why You'll Love It
The appeal is quintessential Versace: bold scale, polished hardware and instantly recognisable detailing.
The oversized round shape has a glamorous vintage influence, while the black-and-gold colour combination keeps the look sophisticated. The Medusa medallions at the temples provide the signature Versace touch without overwhelming the frame.
The warm brown gradient lenses also soften the strong silhouette, making them surprisingly easy to style with everything from printed silk and warm neutrals to sharp black tailoring.

Product Details
Feature Detail Style Oversized Round Sunglasses Brand Versace Colour Black & Gold Lens Brown Gradient Details Oversized round lenses, black frame with gold-tone metal trim, double bridge, black temples, Medusa medallions Size One Size (Women's) RRP $450 (approx.) Luxury Kulture Condition Standard
Excellent: Item shows very light signs of wear, if any, and remains in outstanding condition overall. No notable flaws, with only the slightest indication of prior use upon close inspection.
Provenance
-
The house: Founded in Milan in 1978 by Gianni Versace, Versace established a distinctive visual language built around glamour, bold proportions, sensuality and highly recognisable motifs.
-
The Medusa: The Medusa became the house's defining emblem, chosen by Gianni Versace for its association with beauty and irresistible attraction. It remains one of the most recognisable symbols in luxury fashion.
-
The eyewear: Versace carries this same visual language into its accessories, treating sunglasses as an important part of the overall look rather than simply a functional finishing piece.
-
The silhouette: The oversized round frame draws on glamorous vintage eyewear proportions, while the substantial scale gives the pair a distinctly modern presence.
-
The hardware: The gold double bridge and fine metallic rim introduce a jewellery-like quality, creating contrast against the black frame and reinforcing the luxurious character of the design.
-
The signature detail: A Medusa medallion sits on each temple, providing an unmistakable connection to the house without requiring oversized branding across the front of the frame.
-
The colour story: Black and gold have long formed part of Versace's visual vocabulary, making the combination particularly suited to the brand's maximalist approach to glamour.
-
Why it's distinctive: The combination of oversized round lenses, gold hardware, gradient tint and Medusa detailing gives these sunglasses a strong identity while remaining remarkably wearable.
Collector's Note
The Medusa is one of fashion's great logos because it doesn't need much explanation. Here, it is reduced to a small temple medallion, allowing the shape and hardware to create the drama.
The oversized round frame has an almost old-Hollywood quality, but the gold double bridge and unmistakable Medusa detailing pull it firmly into Versace territory. Paired with the warm gradient lenses, the result is glamorous without feeling overly formal.
A statement pair of Versace eyewear that does exactly what great sunglasses should: finish the outfit before you've even said a word.
