What Celebrities Wear Quay Sunglasses?

If you love Lizzo's fun, empowering pop anthems and her bold fashion choices, you may want to try copying the body-positive star’s sunglasses style.

First, let's take a look at Lizzo's life, songs and style. Then we’ll talk a bit about her sunglasses collaboration with Quay Australia so you can learn where to buy Lizzo sunglasses and how you can add a dash of the star’s signature style to your look.

Lizzo, pop icon and trendsetter

If you're not a longtime fan of the indie-musician-turned pop star, you may wonder: Is Lizzo her real name? Lizzo was born in Detroit as Melissa Viviane Jefferson. She grew up in Houston and got involved in the indie hip hop music scene, rapping and playing the flute. In 2013, Lizzo released her first album, “Lizzobangers.”

Lizzo is known for her self-assured style, which is bold, daring, glam and totally unique. Lizzo often dons daring colors like lime, hot pink and ruby red, as well as tight, sequined off-the-shoulder tops, dresses and rompers. She’s “a beacon for self-love, acceptance, and joy,” Teen Vogue writes. When Time chose Lizzo as 2019 Entertainer of the Year, they declared her “loud, fun and effervescent.”

Just listen to the lyrics of the most popular Lizzo songs. “Mirror, mirror on the wall / Don't say it, ’cause I know I’m cute,” Lizzo sings in her hit, “Juice.” In songs like “Juice” and “Good as Hell,” Lizzo projects total confidence in herself and her style. Having a down day? Playing Lizzo’s music— and cranking up the volume — is a surefire pick-me-up.

Lizzo songs you should know

According to Time magazine when naming Lizzo Entertainer of the Year in 2019, even if you think you don’t know who Lizzo is, you know. But if you’re not super familiar with Lizzo songs, here are a few of her biggest hits to listen to and maybe even learn by heart:

• “Juice” – A fun, upbeat song about celebrating yourself and lifting up others: “If I’m shinin’, everybody gonna shine.”

• “Good as Hell” – A breakup and female empowerment anthem about believing in yourself: “You know you a star, you can touch the sky.”

• “Truth Hurts” – The ultimate kiss-off song: “And that’s the sound of me not calling you back.”

If those songs get you in a good mood, and you want more, check out these Lizzo albums: “Cuz I Love You,” “Big GRRRL Small World” or Lizzo’s debut album, “Lizzobangers.”

Lizzo and Chris Evans

Lizzo recently had a heartwarming social media exchange with “Captain America” actor Chris Evans after she got up the courage to direct message her crush.

The actor responded to the “Good as Hell” singer and let it slip that he’s a Lizzo fan with an emoji-laden message.

Many fans are following these exchanges, wondering if there’s love, or just a new friendship, brewing.
