– With me, some things never change.
Diane Keaton talks about her signature sense of style that has become part of her identity at this point. Styled in a turtleneck, tailored suit, hat and a pair of bold frames, the 78-year-old actress cemented her sophisticated and timeless look. After decades as a style icon, Keaton has teamed up with Look Optic to launch her own collection for the first time.
Via email, Keaton describes the collaboration as “simple and chic,” reflecting her personal style. “I like that the frames are light and don’t hurt my nose,” she continues. “I could wear glasses day and night. I even used to sleep in them.”
The Something has to give the star also says she doesn’t like frames “that stick out too much or reveal too much under my eyes.”
“I think Look [Optic] mastered it in these glasses,” she says. “I think they’re perfection.”

The collection, launched on Tuesday, August 6, features a range of colored and progressive readers in classic neutral shades. Prices range from $68 to $102.
Unsurprisingly, the star’s favorite glasses from the collection are the aptly named Keaton Readers, which come in five different colors including forest green. “Classic and traditional, but contemporary design,” she says of the design. “Now I’m even embracing different colors to pair with different outfits. I’m really feeling the color green…which used to be out of my comfort zone…not anymore!”

“When you think of iconic women who wear glasses, there is none more iconic than Diane Keaton. And when we reached out to see if she’d be interested in collaborating, we discovered that her favorite style had been discontinued. So together we reimagined the silhouette, adding nuances and new waves of color and the KEATON was born!” explains Leary.
The Oscar winner’s sense of style began with a trip to a thrift store as a child. “[My mother] she took me to Goodwill and let me express myself,” Keaton recalls. “She was my biggest supporter and manifestor of my creativity. Later in life my inspiration came from countless hours of cutting and pasting through magazines like Vogue magazine.”

Keaton still likes to save and has continued the tradition with her own children. “I went with my son last weekend to thrift,” she says. “I picked up a stylish pair of jeans. I think they were only $12.00!”

The actress’ iconic style also carries over to her roles. She tells PEOPLE that she doesn’t usually keep clothes from the set because most of her on-screen wardrobe comes from her personal collection. “Honestly, I let the customers choose from my closet so I’m focused on getting all my personal stuff back, to be honest,” Keaton says.
Her most valuable item of clothing? “My dad’s sweater,” Keaton says. “I’ll keep it forever even though the hole is full.”
The Look Optic x Diane Keaton collection is available Tuesday, August 6 exclusively at LookOptic.com.
