Cat-eye glasses are a form of eyewear mainly for women. They are thick-rimmed glasses with the arms of the glasses joining the lenses at the very top corners. Audrey Hepburn's use of them in the 1960s movie Breakfast at Tiffany's was notable. They were mainly popular in the 1950s and 1960s among fashionable women. They preceeded the large bug-eye glasses of the 70s, 80s and 90s. Notable wearers of cat eye glasses were: Marilyn Monroe, Buddy Holly, Barbara Windsor, Dinah Manoff during one scene in 1978's Grease as Marty Maraschino, Mary Whitehouse, Amy Lame, and Barry Humphries as Dame Edna Everage, amongst others.
