B.B. King (born 16 September 1925, died 14 May 2015) was an American blues legend, universally revered as the “King of the Blues.” With his expressive guitar playing and soulful voice, King helped bring the blues to mainstream audiences, influencing generations of musicians across genres. His beloved guitar, Lucille, became as iconic as his music, which includes classics like “The Thrill Is Gone” and “Every Day I Have the Blues.” Over a career spanning more than six decades, he earned 15 Grammy Awards and a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

King’s personal style was as smooth and timeless as his music. Always impeccably dressed in suits and tuxedos, he exuded old-school elegance with a soulful edge. His eyewear was a signature part of his look—most often bold, oversized square frames in black or deep tortoiseshell, combining function with star power. Brands like Carrera and Ray-Ban suited his presence: classic, commanding, and cool. Viewers and fans can channel B.B. King's legendary style by opting for Carrera 296 model.
