Molly-Mae Hague, known for her role as Creative Director at Pretty Little Thing and founder of Maebe, has sparked the 'Molly-Mae effect' with her fashion choices. Her latest Instagram post featured a pair of sunglasses that fans can still purchase, unlike many of her previous sold-out items.
The sunglasses, called the Outta Love style, are from French brand Le Specs and cost £55. This is a fraction of the £300 to £400 price tags on her YSL and Gucci eyewear. The design features a slimline oval silhouette, gold hardware on the legs, and smoke mono black lenses, evoking a minimalist 1990s aesthetic.
Le Specs has a celebrity following including Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, and Olivia Rodrigo. The Outta Love frames are tailored for narrower face shapes with a petite fit. Over 800 reviews praise the sunglasses, with one buyer noting they 'make any outfit look effortlessly cool and elevated,' though some found them too small.
For those seeking alternatives, & Other Stories offers an oversized square retro style for £27, similar to Molly-Mae's sold-out YSL pair. Another option is Vehla's Dixie Sunglasses at £170, a brand favoured by celebrities for its quality and fit.
