A few months ago, Mary-Kate Olsen stepped out in a pair of truly unique shades: oversize black circular frames with the Chanel logo around the lenses. And now, you can add the sunglasses to your own collection.
Luxury consignment site eDrop-Off is auctioning off the Chanel sunnies as part of its eBay “Style Vault,” which is showcasing 250 pieces of vintage Chanel and Hermès, along with Oscar de la Renta spring 2013 designs.
The current bid for the funky frames is at $212.50, which actually is a bargain considering a brand new pair of Chanel shades goes for $350 and higher.

Olsen wasn’t the only stylish starlet to wear them; Rihanna, who’s a big fan of bizarre sunglasses (check out these pearl-rimmed ones she wore while performing at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show!), also donned the same black-and-white pair in November.
You can shop the auction through March 4 at 11 a.m. Tell us: Would you ever wear these over-the-top sunglasses?

Between the fancy food and the posh parties — not to mention the gazillion dollars worth of jewelry and gowns they get to wear — we already knew we wouldn’t mind being in an Oscar nominee’s towering heels.
But now that we’ve gotten an exclusive sneak peek at the dazzling gift Swarovski is sending to the 10 actress nominees, we’re really seeing green. The boxes, worth about $4,000, include a Swarovski-encrusted “Nirvana Star” clutch that only the ten chosen ladies will get to carry, plus sexy crystal-embellished aviators (never before seen from Swarovski) a necklace and ring, all designed to enhance the star’s already high-wattage sparkle.
And unlike some of the swag that immediately gets tossed in the trash, the nominees carry their clutches long after the ceremony ends. In fact, Viola Davis was spotted with hers just last week!
Could this gorgeous bag be the thing to convince Quvenzhané Wallis to leave her puppy purse at home? We’ll have to wait ’til Sunday to see!

Is Nicole Richie a Hoarders episode waiting to happen?
Not exactly, but the designer certainly stores a ton of stuff in her purse. Richie recently emptied out the extensive contents of her bag for Harper’s Bazaar’s The Look including eight — yes, eight — pairs of sunglasses (mostly by her line House of Harlow).
And she even has a totally separate bag (within a bag) for her stash of sunnies. “This is a smart [tip]. You take the Eres bikini bags, the bags the bikinis come in,” she explains. “And this is what I carry my sunglasses in.”

When Kelly Osbourne wore outrageous yellow Quay aviators at the Chris Benz show during New York Fashion Week (top right), we thought maybe she had undergone Lasik surgery and was looking for a fun way to cover her eyes. But then the Fashion Police hostess rocked a retro white pair (top right) the following day, leading us to believe she just has a thing for wacky shades.
Osbourne also sported some rather quirky sunnies across the pond at London Fashion Week, where she showed off a futuristic cat-eye shape at the House of Holland show on Saturday (bottom left). But the pair she wore on Monday — black geometric sunglasses with eyebrows sprouting from them (bottom right) — were definitely the wildest of the bunch.

Sunglass Hut announced in June that Georgia May Jagger would be the new face of the brand, and she kicked off the launch of the fall collection this month by showcasing the newest looks — and her photography — at New York’s Fifth Avenue location.
So when you get to try on so many sunglasses each day (for your job!), how do you pick just one style to wear? According to Jagger, you simply pick more than one.
“I love an aviator, always,” Jagger tells PEOPLE. “And round shapes are great too, but nothing too small.”
Jagger’s sunglass choices, like her love of style, stem from her parents’ rocker looks. But it was her mother, model Jerry Hall, who inspired her connection to eyewear. “Certain styles remind me of my mom,” she says. “Like the cat eye.”
It’s one particular pair, however, that really made an impact. “My mom had a big chest of sunglasses and let me pick through all of hers,” she recalls. “She had one of the first pairs of red Ray-Bans, the original big Wayfarer ones. I’d always pick those out.”
Now, Jagger herself is drawn to Ray-Bans. “We have similar shaped faces,” she says of her mom, “so the classic Wayfarers in tortoise-shell look great on me, too.” Tell us: What type of sunglasses do you wear?
