Katharine McPhee (born March 25, 1984) is an American singer and actress who first captured national attention as the runner-up on American Idol, before building a successful career across television, film, and Broadway. She’s best known for her starring roles in NBC’s Smash and the musical Waitress, where her powerhouse vocals and natural screen presence took centre stage. Her high-profile marriage to legendary music producer David Foster only deepened her connection to the world of classic Hollywood glamour, creating a pairing that feels both iconic and effortlessly current.

Her eyewear choices reflect that balance between elegance and ease. McPhee gravitates toward softly structured frames—think oversized squares and rounded cat-eyes—that complement her delicate features without overpowering them. She’s frequently seen in designs by brands like Céline, Tom Ford, and Chanel, all known for their refined silhouettes and feminine edge. Favouring warm tortoiseshells and chic neutrals, her sunglasses add polish to everything from off-duty denim to sleek red-carpet tailoring. Much like her style, her eyewear always feels considered but never contrived—timeless, graceful, and thoroughly Californian.
