Celine's Triomphe sunglasses have been one of the most coveted designer accessories of recent summers, and it's easy to see why. They've sat firmly at the top of my wish list for years, and it seems I'm not alone - they've been spotted on celebrities, influencers and all over your feeds.
With their universally flattering oval silhouette and understated vintage-inspired design, the Triomphe sunglasses strike the perfect balance between timeless and trend-led. If you're looking to invest in a luxury accessory you'll reach for year after year, this iconic pair really is hard to beat.
- Celine's Triomphe metal 01 sunglasses have been one of the trending styles of the last few years, and they're still popular for 2026
- The gold metal sunglasses have been spotted all over TikTok, Instagram and in the Love Island villa
- The designer style retails for £450, but I've found a lookalike pair at Free People for just £24 / $30
The classic black and tortoiseshell are super popular, but it's the metal gold version that has the street style set hooked. Fashion influencer Kate Hutchins (above), who's the queen of dressing expensive, always makes me want to buy the Celine Triomphe metal sunglasses in gold.
Their popularity shows no signs of slowing down as we move into spring and the most affordable I've found them is £376 at Liberty.

With their oval frames in gold metal, green tinted lenses and tortoiseshell-effect acetate tips, The Free People Little Secret Round Sunglasses are almost identical. They also come in black if you want to change up your look.
I'm a big fan of Free People, and from their boho midi dresses to chic swimwear and cool accessories, they have so many designer-worthy pieces at a lower price tag.
Shoppers are loving the lookalike sunglasses, with one saying: "A great dupe for the Celine Triomphe sunglasses. Super sturdy and have held up for months!"
While another wrote: "LOVE!! They are such a good price and really good quality."
And another said: "Affordable, flattering on oval face shape, very durable - I put them through a lot. I have three pairs, I’d be super super upset if ever discontinued."

Complete with category 3 UV-protective lenses, they're an easy win for a pair you can chuck on and not worry about - the downside to a pair of coveted designer frames. Or Dune London has this near identical pair for £89.
