Dame Darcey Bussell (born 27 April 1969) is a former prima ballerina and beloved British cultural figure, renowned for her exceptional career with The Royal Ballet. One of the most celebrated dancers of her generation, she became principal at just 20 and captivated audiences with her lyrical grace and technical brilliance. Post-retirement, she brought ballet to mainstream audiences as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing, further endearing herself to the nation with her warmth, poise, and passion for the arts.

Her style is the embodiment of timeless elegance—sleek silhouettes, refined tailoring, and understated glamour that reflects her classical roots. Bussell’s eyewear choices are subtle and sophisticated, favouring elegant rectangular or softly upswept frames that complement her regal features. She leans toward polished, neutral-toned designs from brands like Chanel, Alexander McQueen, and Maui Jim—quietly luxurious, never overstated. Whether attending a gala or championing arts education, Darcey Bussell’s glasses echo her presence: graceful, intelligent, and unfailingly refined.
