In December 2025, England footballer Chloe Kelly shared an Instagram post that quickly caught the attention of eyewear watchers. The Lionesses forward, known for her decisive play on the pitch and a growing presence off it, posted a candid selfie wearing Oakley Meta OW8002 HSTNs — the brand's smart-glasses collaboration with Meta that blends Oakley's sport-performance DNA with genuinely useful wearable technology. The frame sat on her with the ease of someone who had already integrated it into her daily rhythm, the kind of adoption that makes tech feel like wardrobe.
The HSTN silhouette, with its gently squared profile and sturdy temples, reads first as a classic Oakley lifestyle frame. But the built-in camera, open-ear audio, and Meta AI integration mark it as something far more forward-looking. Kelly's post — casual, unfiltered, the kind of content that defines her social presence — demonstrated exactly the use case the design team had in mind: a frame that captures the moment without interrupting it. The muted colourway she chose kept the tech discreet, letting the shape and fit do the talking.
Kelly has become one of English football's most recognisable faces since her match-winning goal in the 2022 European Championship final, and her off-pitch style has evolved in step. The Meta HSTN appearance, brief as it was, signalled an athlete who moves comfortably between sportswear and tech-forward accessories, never letting either define her.
The Oakley Meta OW8002 HSTN is a smart sunglasses model that combines Oakley’s performance-driven design with integrated wearable technology. Crafted from lightweight and durable O Matter™, it offers a sport-oriented silhouette with a secure, close fit. Typically available with Prizm™ or polarized lenses, it provides enhanced visual clarity and sun protection. The frame is engineered for comfort during extended wear while enabling seamless hands-free functionality.
