David Hasselhoff (born July 17, 1952) is a pop culture icon best known for his starring roles in the hit television series Knight Rider and Baywatch, both of which cemented his status as an ‘80s and ‘90s heartthrob. Beyond acting, Hasselhoff also enjoyed chart-topping success in Europe as a singer, particularly in Germany, making him one of the few to achieve global fame across multiple entertainment arenas.

The Hoff’s style has always leaned into high-octane charisma—leather jackets, bold hair, and of course, statement sunglasses. Throughout the decades, he’s favoured classic aviators, often seen in Ray-Ban aviators, with gold frames and dark lenses that perfectly balance retro flair with action-hero cool. Whether behind the wheel of KITT or patrolling Malibu beaches, his eyewear game has always been unmistakably on-brand: masculine, slick, and unmistakably American. In more recent years, he’s occasionally been spotted in modern square silhouettes, but aviators remain his signature—making David Hasselhoff a perennial reference point for timeless, Hollywood-style eyewear.
