Last update: 12 March 2025
1. The family
A great group of characters in this Season 3 is without a doubt the Ratliff family. Headed by Victoria Ratliff, played by Parker Posey, and Timothy (Jason Isaacs), who travel to Thailand with their three children: Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger), idealistic daughter Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola).
Sunglasses worn by Jason Isaacs as Timothy
Jason Isaacs plays Timothy, a wealthy businessman and he wears an expensive-looking pair of gold Ermenegildo Zegna EZ0231 sunglasses in Episodes 1, 2 and 3 of Season 3.
➔ Where to Buy
The Ermenegildo Zegna EZ0231 frames can be found at Neiman Marcus ($445) and at Designer Optics ($253 but on backorder).
You can also check eBay, although the yellow color is hard to find there.
You can get it in a beautiful silver color on Pret A Voir (on sale) and other colors on FramesDirect including a light yellow, tortoise and light brown.
In later episodes, most prominently in Episode 4, Jason Isaacs wears a pair of darker sunglasses, the L.G.R. Malabo Bold sunglasses in the color Crystal Grey.
➔ Where to Buy
Get the Malabo on the L.G.R website ($450).
Sunglasses worn by Parker Posey as Victoria
Parker Posey plays Victoria, a heavily medicated Southern belle and wife of wealthy businessman. Parker Posey wears at least two different pairs of sunglasses.
According to a post by costume designer Alex Bovaird, Victoria’s eyewear was custom-made by @michaelcory who worked with @general.eyewear. The glasses are based on vintage frames and images of Ava Gardner's sunglasses.
The first pair is an oversized tortoise frame with a dramatically shaped frame that reflects her character.
Another pair of sunglasses worn by Parker Posey is a more subtle butterfly model, also tortoise frame.
Now let's take a closer look at the sunglasses worn by the children of Victoria and Timothy.
Sunglasses worn by Patrick Schwarzenegger as Saxon
Patrick Schwarzenegger as Saxon wears cool Oliver Peoples R-5 shield sunglasses in The White Lotus Season 3. And boy, doesn't Patrick Schwarzenegger look like his father in Terminator wearing Gargoyles?
The exact model of the rimless shield sunglasses worn by Patrick Schwarzenegger are the Oliver Peoples R-5 38 MBK-G-15 50622 with black frame.
➔ Where to buy
The Oliver Peoples R-5 is available at Specs Collective. You can also find several of these on offer at eBay, including this pair.
Sunglasses worn by Sarah Catherine Hook as Piper
Piper is a college senior majoring in religion and the middle child of Timothy and Victoria Ratliff. Sarah Catherine Hook as Piper wears two different pairs of L.G.R. sunglasses.
The sunglasses worn when Piper goes to the monastery in Episode 1 and on the boat in Episode 4 are the L.G.R Zanzibar in black.
➔ Where to buy
The L.G.R Zanzibar is available at L.G.R for $470.
The second pair of sunglasses is the L.G.R Reunion Carnet de Voyage, only worn by Piper on top of her head at the breakfast table at the White Lotus resort in Episode 2, Season 3 of The White Lotus.
➔ Where to buy
The L.G.R Reunion is available at L.G.R for $550.
Sunglasses worn by Sam Nivola as Lochlan
The second son of Victoria and Timothy, Lochlan (played by Sam Nivola) wears Persol PO0649 sunglasses in The White Lotus Season 3.
Originally released in 1957, the Persol 649 sunglasses model has remained an enduring icon. The frame was designed to protect Turin's tram drivers from dust and glare, but they became truly famous when Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni wore them in the 1961 film Divorce Italian Style.
➔ Where to buy
These iconic sunglasses can be found on Amazon, at the official Persol store or at Specs Collective. Note that these are available in many different colors and sizes, so make sure to get the right pair for you.
2. The couple
The odd couple Rick (Walton Goggins) and his younger girlfriend Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) also sport a great selection of sunglasses.
Sunglasses worn by Walton Goggins as Rick
Throughout the series, Walton Goggins as Rick wears the classic Ray-Ban RB2140 Wayfarer, one of the most famous and popular frames ever made.
➔ Where to Buy
Rick wears the original Wayfarer in Black, which can be found on Amazon or on the official Ray-Ban website (free shipping).
Sunglasses worn by Aimee Lou Wood as Chelsea
Rick's younger girlfriend Chelsea, played by Aimee Lou Wood, wears a more unique pair of sunglasses in Episode 1 of The White Lotus Season 3: a narrow, leopard print oval frame Jacquemus Ovalo sunglasses.
➔ Where to buy
The glasses are sold out at Jacquemus but available at Pret A Voir (1 left).
Also available in other colors on Farfetch.
In Episode 4 of Season 3 of The White Lotus, Aimee Lou Wood also wears another pair of sunglasses: the Oliver Peoples Dresner in Gold.
➔ Where to buy
Get the Oliver Peoples Dresner in Gold with multiple lens options at Specs Collective ($616) or find them on Amazon in Gold with Midnight lens for $479.
Also available on Amazon with Gradient lens (various prices and availability).
3. The friends
And then there is the trio of old friends Kate (Leslie Bibb), Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) and Laurie (Carrie Coon).
These three old friends reunite at the Thai resort for some quality time together after a few years apart.
Sunglasses worn by Michelle Monaghan as Jaclyn
Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) is a successful actress. She wears at least four different pairs of sunglasses throughout Season 3 of The Whiet Lotus.
The first pair we identified (but propably seen only later in the season) is the blue or purple Loewe 40103U sunglasses.
➔ Where to buy
These Loewe 40103U are unfortunately hard to find. There is one pair on eBay.
The same model is available in the color Black or Tortoise at Pret A Voir.
Michelle Monaghan also wears a pair of Tom Ford Joanna sunglasses in one of the first scenes of Episode 1, Season 3, when the main characters travel to the resort on a boat. She will probably wear the glasses again later in the season.
➔ Where to buy
Get these Tom Ford Joanna sunglasses on Amazon for $231 or find them at Farfetch. They can also be easily found on eBay.
In Episode 3 of Season 3, Michelle Monaghan wears a pair of cat-eye sunglasses (see images below). These are Krewe Brigitte sunglasses with a light havana (Fernet) frame color, available at Krewe for $295.
Note that this is the second pair of Krewe sunglasses after Carrie Coon's Krewe Webster shades (scroll down to read more).
➔ Where to buy
The Krewe Brigitte can be purchased at Krewe for $295.
Throughout the season, Michelle Monaghan also wears a pair of vintage-looking glasses with a yellow / brown semi-transparent frame.
Thanks to a message from visitor of this website, we now think that these are Jacques Marie Mage Zephirin sunglasses in the frame color, but this is not confirmed (see them here at Jacques Marie Mage for $870).
➔ Where to buy
Jacques Marie Mage Zephirin sunglasses cost $870 and can be purchased at Jacques Marie Mage.
Sunglasses worn by Carrie Coon as Laurie
Laurie (Carrie Coon) is a high-flying lawyer recovering from a recent divorce. It looks like Laurie is wearing a pair of Krewe Webster Nylon sunglasses with black frame and gradient lenses, with three dots on the temples, which are similar to Céline sunglasses, but the frame shape and the lack of dots on the front make us believe that these are Krewe Webster Nylon sunglasses with gradient lenses.
➔ Where to buy
The Krewe Webster Nylon sunglasses are available at Krewe ($285).
The second pair of black sunglasses worn by Carrie Coon as Laurie is the L.G.R Manda Explorer in Black and Tortoise. These can be spotted in Episode 1 when she arrives at the resort and a few times in later episodes.
➔ Where to buy
The L.G.R Manda Explorer sunglasses are available at L.G.R ($520).
Sunglasses worn by Leslie Bibb as Kate
Kate (Leslie Bibb) is a stay-at-home mom who appears to have it all, including multiple sunglasses on this trip.
One of the most beautiful sunglasses she wears are the white and gold Matsuda M3124 sunglasses.
These sunglasses are a piece of art: a bold rectangular lens shape and bright colored hand-applied Japanese acetate. The arms have a white acetate insert with carvings and filigree-adorned titanium temples. The temple tip details are stunning as well.
➔ Where to buy
These Matsuda M3124 sunglasses are available at Specs Collective for $725 but are almost out of stock (already sold out at Matsuda). Also still mentioned at Pret A Voir ($599).
6. The other couple
Besides Rick and Chelsea, there's another couple that hangs out at the resort: Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) and Gary aka Greg (Jon Gries).
Sunglasses worn by Charlotte Le Bon as Chloe
Charlotte Le Bon as Chloe wears two pair of sunglasses. In the first three episodes, we can spot her wearing round Matsuda M3085 sunglasses with a brushed gold and navy frame.
➔ Where to buy
The Matsuda M3085 sunglasses are available at Specs Collective for $650.
Later, in Episode 4, Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) wears a pair of Oliver Peoples 1983C sunglasses when the whole group sets sail on the boat.
➔ Where to buy
The Oliver Peoples 1983C sunglasses are available at Specs Collective for $524.
Sunglasses worn by Jon Gries as Gary / Greg
Jon Gries as Gary / Greg can first be seen with sunglasses in episode 4. Jon Gries wears Ray-Ban RB2205 Bill sunglasses with a Havana frame and transparent brown lenses (polarized, see the "P" next to the Ray-Ban logo on the lens).
➔ Where to buy
Buy these at the official Ray-Ban website for $230 (free shipping) or find them on Amazon.
5. The staff
As per the previous White Lotus seasons, the staff of the resort plays a big part in the story as well. In Season 3 we meet hotel security guard Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong) and health guru Mook (Lalisa Manoban). Plus, the only returning character from a previous season, Belinda played by Natasha Rothwell. Belinda is technically not staff in this resort, but in the resort of Season 1. In this season she is on a research trip for her own wellness enterprise.
Sunglasses worn by Natasha Rothwell as Belinda
Natasha Rothwell wears Oliver Peoples Kienna OV5526SU sunglasses in The White Lotus Season 3. The frame has a unique shape with 'cut out' corners and three dots or rivets on the front and sides.
