The comedian shares the story behind some of her signature frames (and how you can shop the look yourself).
, we lamented about how glasses-wearing women are always seen as needing a makeover in order to get the guy in rom-coms, but her character, Sasha could be the powerful, successful “girl next door” yet still have an attainable look that women could actually achieve. During that meeting I told Wong that I also pop lenses out of sunglasses to get a bolder frame , and I needed to know everything about her collection. Before she told me all the answers, I compiled where to buy many of.
Wong says she had a gradual graduation to super-huge, bold frames. Her “glasses just got bigger and bigger”—both for style and function. “I’m short, but secretly I have a huge head. So if I wear small glasses, it makes my head even bigger. Bigger is more flattering.” One of her favorite frames are the iconic Dsquared2 tortoiseshell frames that she wore
. “They scare my husband because it makes me look like I don’t have eyebrows,” she reveals with a laugh.As she’s started doing more red carpets and photoshoots, she’s gravitated toward oversized yet thin silver frames because they are able to show off more eye makeup than heftier black frames .She owns at least a dozen pairs, all of which are stored in their original cases or in clear packaging so she can see what’s inside. They occupy a special drawer in her room.
Below, she shares the stories behind some of her favorites. Some are from brands you might recognize; some she bought on eBay or in random shops across the U.S. and Canada. But don’t be surprised if you come across Ali Wong–branded eyewear in the future. “I would love to do a collaboration with Barton Perreira and Opening Ceremony together,” she says. In other words, get your wallets ready.“These are those Paul Frank glasses that look a lot like my dad’s glasses that I love. My first big pair.
