Yes, you read that right. 2016 has been a weird year hasn't it? But it's not over yet and it’s about to get so much weirder. Check out the celebs that have taken some style inspo from a rather unexpected source this year.
It seems our favourite celebrities have taken some style inspiration direct from Albert Square, in the form of big, perspex glasses and we know exactly who ignited this trailblazing trend.
Anyone remember Frank Butcher? The EastEnd(-ers) cockney that spent as much time in the Queen Vic as he did switching from Pat to Peggy and how could we forget that famous ‘naked-with-nothing-but-a-bow-tie’ scene.
Well, apparently even the most famous of famous faces know about the perspex glasses wearing EastEnder. ‘Ave a butchers at the celebs who have been rocking the trend this year…

Kendall Jenner
Kenny loves her specs so much that she uploaded another pic to Instagram captioned ‘low key look’. Jenner may have taken some inspiration from Frank Butcher but we’re not sure if he could’ve pulled off her outfit in Albert Square.

Lewis Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton sat front row at the Frank Butcher fashion show in March…ok so it was Vivienne Westwood’s show at Paris’ Fashion Week. But it totally could’ve been Butcher’s own line of eyewear that Hamilton was there for. From this press pic we’re guessing he would definitely buy a pair or two.

Jennifer Aniston was on the panel for Entertainment Weekly’s PopFest in LA on the 30th October, promoting new festive flick Office Christmas Party. Clearly no press event outfit is complete without these smart spectacles.
