Arriving outside Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2015, Kevin Costner did what he has done reliably for decades — let a classic pair of sunglasses do the quiet work of finishing a look. The Oliver Peoples Sheldrake, with its slim rectangular profile and understated keyhole bridge, suited Costner's low-key West Coast style perfectly: relaxed, unflappable and entirely unintimidated by the Hollywood Boulevard scrum.
The Sheldrake is a frame built for people who do not need their accessories to announce themselves. Its refined acetate construction and clean, proportionate lines lend a look structure without adding volume, which is exactly what Costner's outfit called for — a simple jacket, an open-necked shirt and the kind of easy assurance that only comes from decades of being the most relaxed man in the room.
Costner has long favoured classic American styling with a masculine, lived-in feel, and his eyewear choices reflect the same instinct. He gravitates toward frames that feel substantial but never flashy, purpose-built rather than fashion-forward. The Sheldrake sighting outside the Kimmel studio is a perfect example: a considered, thoughtful accessory that photographs cleanly and wears even better, the kind of sunglasses a man builds a routine around rather than a single outfit.
The Oliver Peoples OV5036S Sheldrake is a classic square-frame sunglasses model crafted from high-quality acetate, defined by its bold front and keyhole bridge. Inspired by vintage eyewear, it features clean lines and a slightly rounded square silhouette. Typically fitted with solid or lightly tinted lenses, it provides reliable visual clarity and sun protection. The well-balanced frame ensures a secure and comfortable fit for everyday wear.
