Summer Glau (born 24 July 1981) is an American actress and former ballet dancer best known for her roles in cult-favourite sci-fi and fantasy series. She rose to prominence as the enigmatic River Tam in Firefly and its film sequel Serenity, capturing audiences with her ethereal presence and emotionally charged performance. Glau further solidified her sci-fi icon status with her portrayal of Cameron, a reprogrammed Terminator in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, showcasing both physical intensity and subtle vulnerability. With roles in Arrow, Dollhouse, and The 4400, she has become a beloved figure in genre television, revered for bringing strength and grace to complex, otherworldly characters.

Glau’s personal style is soft, feminine, and quietly understated—often favouring natural textures, flowy silhouettes, and classic accessories. Her eyewear reflects this graceful balance: delicate wire frames, rounded lenses, and soft neutrals that enhance rather than overpower her delicate features. While she tends to keep a low public profile, she’s occasionally spotted in minimalist styles by brands like Oliver Peoples or Ray-Ban. Much like her on-screen roles, Summer Glau’s eyewear speaks to quiet power—elegant, intelligent, and timeless.
