Actors have a knack for going viral over the smallest details, from a quirky smile to a unique accessory. It is Jonathan Bailey who has found himself in the spotlight this time, and not just for his acting but for a tiny pair of glasses that have sparked a massive online frenzy. These delicate spectacles have been given a cheeky nickname that suggests they are a little more promiscuous than just stylish, with the actor’s unabashed approval taking the internet by storm.
What started as a subtle style choice quickly morphed into an unexpected viral sensation. Now, these tiny frames carry a reputation far bolder than their size would suggest.
Jonathan Bailey has addressed the buzz surrounding his now-famous glasses during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
on July 2, 2025. He revealed that the nickname “slutty little glasses”
was coined by pop culture commentator Blakely Thornton, via an Instagram reel and Bailey himself has embraced the term with humor and charm. So much so, the actor revealed how from between the two, “the beard had to go, but the glasses stayed…”,
which is telling of how the decision had been made long before the trend.

The glasses themselves are a modern take on late-1990s micro eyewear, featuring ultra-thin, wire-rimmed frames with a subtle tint. They are more about style than function, lending a boyish charm and a hint of mischief to Bailey’s character in Jurassic World Rebirth’s
second trailer, which was released on May 20, 2025. Social media has been flooded with posts, edits, and hashtags starring the look, with nearly 78 million TikTok posts referencing the trends. The glasses have become a symbol of understated coolness amid pop culture’s equally promiscuous nature of commitment to a trend.
From viral accessory to charitable cause, Jonathan Bailey’s glasses are doing more than just turning heads.

The Bridgerton
actor has taken this viral moment a step further by partnering with eyewear brand Cubitts
to create a limited-edition version of the glasses. This collaboration supports his charity, The Shameless Fund,
which benefits LGBTQ+ organizations. Jonathan Bailey’s willingness to use his newfound accessory fame for a good cause has earned him even more admiration. It seems Bailey’s acknowledgment of the “sl- little glasses”,
apart from being another episode of his provocative telltaling of fans and trends alike
, is also a meaningful symbol of style and social impact.
