Fans also likened his look to a modern take on the "hot professor" trope, describing it as both "sexy" and "smart."
BRITISH actor Andrew Garfield, effortlessly stole the spotlight at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards—not as a nominee, but as the man who turned reading glasses into the night’s most talked-about accessory.
The prestigious event had fans worldwide buzzing, not just about the awards but also about Garfield's effortlessly magnetic presence.
Although Garfield was not up for any awards, his presence as a presenter alongside actress Kerry Washington stole the show.
Known for his charm and magnetic style, the Spider-Man star did not just captivate audiences with his words. It was the simple yet electrifying moment when he slid on his reading glasses that truly broke the internet.
Dressed in a dark green Gucci suit with flared trousers and satin lapels, paired with a slightly unbuttoned black silk shirt, a delicate necklace styled by Warren Alfie Baker, Garfield exuded effortless sophistication and stole the spotlight on the red carpet.
The finishing touch? A pair of reading glasses that transformed his look into a viral moment of cinematic allure.
The moment Garfield reached for his glasses and placed them on his face while reading from the teleprompter was enough to send fans into a frenzy.
The deliberate, almost slow-motion act of sliding the glasses into place became a cultural phenomenon.
