Parker Posey's Glasses and Sunglasses

We’re not sure whether we should call it the Parkerssaince or the Poseyssaince, but Parker Posey's scene-stealing performance as Victoria Ratliff in the slowburn third season of The White Lotus has been up there, solidifying her place as not just one of the sharpest comedy actresses of her generation—but perhaps most importantly—a true eyewear icon.

While everyone is discussing her character’s super-specific (and apparently regionally correct) North Carolina accent—we’re just as interested in her unique style. She might not know whether she’s in Thailand or Taiwan, but she knows a good pair of specs when she sees ‘em.

And as with everything on Mike White’s show, there’s more to Ratliff’s shades than meets the eye. From rose-tinted sunglasses to angular tortoiseshell glasses, have a read of our Eyewear Icons: Parker Posey blog post to find out more.
