Spectacled Celebrities Tired of wearing spectacles and the related complexes with them,here is some information that may pep you up.... Two decades ago, they were huge and plastic and seriously damaged your playground credibility. But these days, glasses are almost too cool for school. A poll has shown that the smaller designer frames on offer these days have made life much easier for a "speccy four eyes". Forty-three per cent of glasses-wearing pupils say their friends are actively positive about the accessory - and think they make them look clever, trendy and attractive. Just five per cent of those who wear glasses said they had been bullied over their specs, and seven per cent had been teased. One in seven children told researchers they liked wearing specs because it made them "look cool". At first glance, these results do not suggest overwhelming acceptance - but they are a marked improvement on attitudes in the Eighties. Of the adults surveyed, who would have been at school in that decade, 71 per cent said they had been teased at school for wearing glasses or had witnessed others being called speccy four eyes and the like. Celebrities such as Johnny Depp and Julia Roberts have helped to make spectacles cool.Look for more! Celebs get their groove on in geeky glasses! Wearing specs is not so geeky anymore, for the much-despised "plain glass" spectacles have now become a must-have fashion accessory, suggests a new research, which has shown that the demand for the glasses has seen a surge in sales for customers with 20-20 vision. Actress Jennifer Garner looks cute as a button in a sleek pair of glasses. Julia Roberts Julia Roberts is the sexiest bespectacled star, according to a US magazine poll. Readers of weekly publication In Touch were asked to vote for their favourite four-eyed star and the PRETTY WOMAN actress beat DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES actress Felicity Huffman for the top spot. Roberts claimed 40 per cent of the vote, while Huffman came in second with 33 per cent. ALICIA KEYS was a distant third, ahead of fourth-placed Mischa Barton and COURTNEY LOVE.Johnny Depp Are you a 'suspec' like Johnny Depp? Also, the new groups of wearers are being dubbed "suspecs". A study by YouGov for Vision Express found that almost one in ten 18-24 year-olds had admitted buying them. Only superstar Johnny Depp can manage to look sexy in a pair of thick rimmed spectacles! Britney goes geeky The celebs responsible for the revolution are Julia Roberts, Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman and Daniel Radcliffe's portrayal of Harry Potter, the bespectacled boy wizard. If popstar Britney Spears manages to look both brainy and cute in glasses, you can too! Ashton creates an impression Some 64 percent of respondents to the YouGov poll said that they felt glasses created a more positive impression today than they did a decade ago. Demi Moore's young husband Ashton Kutcher goes the hunky and sophisticated route in thick-rimmed specs. Emily Scott does a Mrs Robinson "Not so long ago, glasses were seen primarily as a medical aid rather than a stylish accessory," the Scotsman quoted Bryan Magrath, of Vision Express, as saying. Do Australian model Emily Scott's glasses,she's striking a Mrs Robinson-esque pose! Simply wizard: Daniel Radcliffe "It is encouraging to see that the introduction of style has had a huge and positive impact on people's perceptions." Daniel Radcliffe doesn't wear spectacles in real-life, but his bespectacled reel-life alter-ego Harry Potter has cast a spell over young girls all over the world! Alicia's 'key' look "There is a real sense that eyewear can boost your confidence and your desirability today -- both to potential partners and to potential employers." You'll rarely see crooner Alicia Keys without her signature glasses -- you could say they're part of her 'key' look! Go sporty like Saurav! "The world has turned on its head in the last ten years -- and the message is that rather than being a hindrance, glasses are in fact a clear advantage," he added. If you still need convincing, closer to home we have cricketer Saurav Ganguly, rarely seen without his trademark rimless spectacles. Kiran's in a comfy frame So take a cue from Kiran Rao(Mrs.Amir Khan to the uninitiated) and be comfy with your eyewear -- you'll begin to feel incomplete without it!
