THEY HAVE ARRIVED

 Celebrities have a long-standing love affair with sunwear, especially when they are making an entrance (or hasty exit). Whether or not there is an actual red carpet to cushion their Gucci loafer or Jimmy Choo clad feet, they love to herald their arrival while donning shades to shield them from the glaring flashes of the paparazzi. Here are a bevy of stars and starlets making their way into, out of and around some of Hollywood’s hottest happenings.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, wearing sunglasses from his own Sean John collection, style 1135-743, stops to chat with the media on his way into the 15th annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party.

Djimon Hounsou, nominee for a best supporting actor Oscar for his role in “Blood Diamond,” wears Chrome Hearts Living Proof II on the red carpet at the Academy Awards.

Singer/activist Bono receives the Chairman’s Award at the NAACP Image Awards in Emporio Armani sunglasses, style EA 9285/S.

Clint Eastwood, who was nominated for a best director Oscar for “Letters from Iowa Jima,” arrives at the Academy Awards wearing the Maui Jim Big Island.

Looking as young and hip as ever, Heath Ledger makes his entrance to the Independent Spirit Awards in a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers.

The famous do really wear those freebies they get at awards shows. Former talk show host Ricki Lake sports Gucci style 1852s, which she received at the gift lounge, while backstage at the Independent Spirit Awards.

It’s always a good move to arrive at an event wearing the sponsor’s product. Kelly Osbourne enters Ray-Ban’s “Uncut Sessions” party in London sporting their Wayfarer style.
