Patricia Arquette delivered a career-defining performance as Alabama Whitman in Tony Scott's True Romance (1993), the cult classic written by Quentin Tarantino that paired her with Christian Slater in a whirlwind tale of love, violence, and a stolen suitcase of cocaine. Arquette's Alabama was fearless and tender in equal measure — a character who could disarm a hitman with a smile and break your heart in the same scene.
Throughout the film, Alabama wears the Ray-Ban RB2132 New Wayfarer, a slightly softer evolution of the classic Wayfarer silhouette. The frame's reduced tilt and refined proportions suited Arquette's expressive face perfectly, adding a layer of cool detachment to the character's sun-drenched road-trip wardrobe without ever feeling like a costume choice.
True Romance has only grown in stature since its release, and Arquette's Alabama remains one of the most beloved characters in the Tarantino universe. The New Wayfarer, in this context, is more than an accessory — it is part of the visual language that helped define a film about finding your person in the middle of absolute chaos.
The Ray-Ban RB2132 New Wayfarer reinterprets the original Wayfarer with a softer, more refined shape and a slightly smaller profile. Crafted from durable acetate, it retains the iconic design language while offering improved everyday wearability. Often available with G-15, gradient, or polarized lenses, it provides balanced visual clarity and reliable sun protection. The lighter frame and adjusted curvature ensure a comfortable and secure fit across a wide range of face shapes.
