She probably has loads of pairs- the ones I like are in the photo.

feel free to use this as a general Lesley Manville appreciation thread too. 🥰

Sorry, no idea about the specs but I really enjoyed her Desert Island Discs the other week!

Oh I must listen to that! Just watched Who do you think you are and she was wearing these beauties! Love her in Mum especially but she’s always fabulous

I had a pair very similar a few years ago they were from Vogue but mine were a dark blue. When I asked at my opticians last time I had new glasses they had stopped doing the Vogue ones. I like the style of them too.

Interested in this thread?

I feel they would flatter a variety of face shapes. Will look at vogue in case they have anything I like.

Pru Keith does a similar looking range.

Pru leith obviously!

Just looked and she does have some in a similar shape but I was hoping for understated tortoiseshell rather than those colours!

Well not bleeding specsavers, as every pair seemed ginormous when I just went in!
Love lesley manville though.

Yeah specsavers are the only place I’ve actually tried on glasses! Couldn’t find anything nice…

I've bought from Eyelids a couple of times, the three on the top row look similar to Lesley's

I love Lesley Manville - have you seen Mrs Harris goes to Paris? I'm currently enjoying her along with Mark Bonnar in World on Fire.

Ooh yes the Emerson Demi pair are similar. And cheap!

and no I haven’t seen Mrs Harris goes to Paris. Will put that on my to watch list! I recently watched all of World on Fire- she was wonderful and amusing in that wasn’t she.

Glad you enjoyed it, it is a lovely film isn't it.
(Am thinking of getting some of those Emersons....)
