The singular Marianne Faithfull has passed away at the age of 78. The formidable musician and actor, a muse to many but so much more than that moniker allows, a style icon, and a megawatt star of the Swinging Sixties—with the coolest eyewear to match.

A doyenne of flower-power fashion, Faithfull’s wardrobe was Brit designer-forward, spanning python two-piece suits and collared mini dresses from Ossie Clark, thigh-skimming skirts via Mary Quant, and diaphanous, big-bowed shirts by Jean Muir, later of Yaeger. She set the reigning aesthetic for the ’60s, and as the era grooved on, Faithfull incorporated more of a sleek rock ’n roll glam, ensconced in sumptuous furs and velvet suiting, or clad in leather trousers and knee-high boots.

Faithfull was never one to dim her light, but her collection of playful and shapely shades helped her propel through the kaleidoscopic era in style. Eyewear was her go-to accessory. Often, she swapped pieces with boyfriend Mick Jagger and even Keith Richards—his tiny, circular blue sunglasses were swiped more than once. Later, she was a muse for Chloé, Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, and Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent; A delightful shot of Faithfull and Kate Moss sees them front row at Chanel’s spring summer show in 2004, both smiling wickedly behind their opaque sunnies.

Another iconic image captures Faithfull leaving court where her then-boyfriend Mick Jagger was sentenced to three months in prison on narcotics charges. She wears a woollen, elegantly lapelled coat, a ruffled shirt, and belted suit pants; she stays cool and composed in her striped butterfly-shaped sunglasses. In one photo, she nabs Roy Orbison’s own trademark, matte black pair to pose. On the set of the erotic and electrifying Girl on a Motorcycle, Faithfull sits beside co-star Alain Delon in a full leather fit and oversized sunglasses, her tousled hair grazing the bugged out eyes. It’s a look that’s ready for the drag races, or a Batgirl audition.
