While The Idol has so far stirred up its fair share of controversy, the show's sunglass game has been elite—from Lily-Rose Depp's sunglasses to The Weeknd and Da'Vine Joy Randolph's stylish specs.

If you tuned into the latest installment (or have seen a ton about it thanks to all the drama), you'll have no doubt spotted the many chic shades on display, especially from Lily-Rose who can be spotted wearing a very flattering pair of sunglasses—some Chanel cat-eye sunglasses to be more specific.  

Alas, while the original Chanel pair no longer seems to be available, we found these other Chanel Cat-Eye sunglasses to be the closest match. And if they don't quite fulfill the assignment, here's where to get your hands on some other, very similar pairs. Plus, we're also found you some budget-friendly (but equally stylish) swaps of all The Idol sunglasses to add to your capsule wardrobe...

Lily-Rose Depp's sunglasses: where to shop her shades?

While Lily-Rose Depp's singing in The Idol—along with Lily's IRL dating sitch—is garnering a ton of attention right now, her sophisticated "Quiet Luxury" sunglass game is also one of the main talking points so far. Not to mention Lily's blue sheer dress and bikini but right now, we're here to talk specs!

For any newcomers to the show, Lily-Rose Depp is embodying the role of rising popstar, 'Jocelyn' (here's how to watch The Idol if you need to catch up), so naturally, a staple pair of what appear to be Chanel sunnies are a must to bring those 'idol' vibes.

Plus, being that the French-American actress is one of the faces of Chanel, it's not surprising she'd be repping a style from the iconic fashion house. 

But while they are expensive, sunglasses are one item—like with the best perfumes—that can be seen as more of an investment buy than a trendy piece. Plus, seeing how great they look on Lily does make it all the more tempting!

'The Idol' sunglasses: where to shop the other styles from the show

While Lily-Rose's sunglasses have been garnering a ton of attention, the rest of the cast's sunnies are equally as stylish, from The Weeknd's aviators to Da'Vine Joy Randolph's own cat-eye pair.

The Weeknd's 'The Idol' sunglasses

While The Weeknd's (aka, Abel Tesfaye) character Tedros is as icky as they come, The Weeknd himself, sports a classic pair of gold-framed aviator-style sunglasses throughout the series.

Aviators appear to be very on-trend right now but are always a timeless silhouette, so if you're looking for a new staple pair, they're a good way to go.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph 'The Idol' sunglasses

Like LRD, Da'Vine Joy Randolph also wore a pair of dramatic cat-eye sunglasses that just scream festival-season and party vibes to us.

This angled style is perfect for those who already love a cat-eye shape, but want something even more statement and bold.

Catch The Idol, airing on Sundays at 9pm on HBO and Max.
