Brad Pitt Spotted Wearing Dolce and Gabbana Gold Edition Sunglasses in the Streets of Venice


Brad Pitt walked the streets of Venice wearing a pair of Dolce and Gabbana Gold Edition sunglasses together with Angelina Jolie. The couple recently moved to Venice, Italy together with their 6 children for the filming of Jolie’s latest movie: The Tourist.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie met each other on the set of their first movie together – Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Their romantic involvement with each other quickly became highly-publicized Hollywood scandal since Brad Pitt at that time was recently divorced with his wife for seven years, Jennifer Aniston. Brad Pitt never confessed that he committed adultery against Aniston, but he did admit that he fell in love with Jolie on the set.

Considered by a lot of people as one of the world’s most beautiful men, Brad Pitt topped off his immense celebrity status by wearing a magnificent and luxurious pair of Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses; each pair of this Dolce and Gabbana aviator-inspired design is plated with 18 karats of gold.

Additionally, the design features polarized lenses, guaranteed to protect the wearer’s eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. Each pair is presented in a jewelry case with a plaque that reads “Dolce and Gabbana Gold Edition.” This jewelry case has two small drawers that contain the design’s certificate of authenticity and its cleaning cloth. A black, semi-rigid, leather glasses case is also available inside which is embellished with a small Dolce and Gabbana plaque and logo.

The Dolce and Gabbana Gold Edition sunglasses are available at ILORI Luxury Sunglass Boutiques.
