It's no secret that Oprah has a pretty impressive collection of glasses. She rocks her specs everywhere from the red carpet to her own backyard. And most recently, Oprah donned a stunning pair of frames during her blockbuster CBS interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

If you're looking to score a pair similar to Lady O's, we can tell you that she got them at one of her favorite shops, InSight Opticians, in Washington, D.C. She even took us along on a shopping trip to the boutique in 2019 when she purchased two new pairs.

"I have glasses from all over the world, but I like coming here because Yolanda takes care of me, and when new pairs come in, she lets me know!" Oprah tells us.

In case you need more evidence of Oprah's chic shades, just look at these super cool glasses she wore on Christmas Eve.

And the round green lenses she wore in November 2020.

Her frames consistently manage to be stylish, eye-catching, and trendsetting all at the same time.

While Oprah loves InSight in D.C., according to O's creative director Adam Glassman, she gets the majority of her glasses from Luxuriator by Franco, a high-end boutique in Beverly Hills. She's also a fan of luxury brands Kuboraum and Schnuchel, in addition to the more affordable—but trendy— selections from Warby Parker.

Here are some of Oprah's best spectacled looks, plus where to shop them, as well a smattering of pocket-friendly alternatives—including the $25 Peepers reading glasses she featured on her list of Favorite Things in 2019.

Lady O wore these round, silver metallic frames, that she purchased at InSight, during her landmark interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. If you're not planning a trip to D.C. anytime soon, below you'll find a few pairs of glasses inspired by the look.

These textured statement-making glasses are one of Oprah's go-to's. She's worn them a number of times, including at the March 2018 European premiere of A Wrinkle In Time. And we can see why: A strong black frame is the perfect low-effort accessory. Think of it as a little black dress—for your face.

A soft peach-toned pair, like the ones worn by Oprah in June 2019 at the E3 Summit in D.C. would be a great addition to any glasses collection.

The purple spectacles she's wearing here are another Oprah favorite. The media mogul has worn them everywhere from Super Soul Sunday interviews to the December 2018 "Favorite Things" O, the Oprah Magazine cover shoot. She also wore a similar pair while on the campaign trail in Atlanta with Stacey Abrams.

While certainly subtle, there's something about a transparent frame that's oh-so-statement making. Maybe that's why Oprah chose to wear hers to Agnes Scott College's 2017 graduation, where she gave a moving commencement speech, as only she can, at the all girls liberal arts school.

Oprah wore these glittery stunners while making the impassioned Golden Globes speech that sparked #Oprah2020 presidential race rumors.

The timeless pattern is always a good idea when it comes to eyewear, but adding a touch of blue—as seen on the pair Oprah wore at the June 2019 premiere of OWN's Love Is—adds the perfect edge.
