Elizabeth Taylor (born 27 February 1932 – 23 March 2011) was a British-American actress and global icon whose name remains synonymous with Hollywood glamour. Rising to stardom as a child actress, she became one of the industry’s most enduring legends with unforgettable performances in Cleopatra, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, for which she won an Academy Award. Beyond her unparalleled career, Taylor was celebrated for her striking beauty, her violet eyes, and her larger-than-life presence both on and off screen.

Her style evolved with each decade, but she never lost her flair for drama and elegance. In the 1968 cult film Boom!, Taylor wore futuristic, sculptural sunglasses that epitomised the experimental spirit of the sixties—a bold departure from the ultra-feminine silhouettes of her fifties reign. Those daring shades can be beautifully replicated today with Prada PR A23S “Morph” sunglasses, which we currently stock in transparent white with a marble texture. These frames still echo the avant-garde energy of that era while capturing the timeless glamour of Taylor herself. Her eyewear legacy remains as bold and iconic as the woman who defined it.
