Renee Rapp Wears Giant Vintage While Taking the World by Storm
Ever so often, a new star emerges in Hollywood and takes the entire world by storm. This time, it’s Reneé Rapp’s turn. Although the young actress and singer has been in the industry for a few years, her popularity exploded suddenly, fuelled by her wicked talent, deadpan humor, and drop-dead gorgeous looks. That’s not to mention staring in the 2024 “Mean Girl” musical as the iconic Regina George.
In January 2024, Reneé did an interview with Vanity Fair magazine in which she talked about the film and her career in general. When photographed for the interview, she wore a pair of Giant Vintage sunglasses, proving once again that the brand and stars are a match made in heaven.

Who Is Renee Rapp?
If you tend to stay offline, you might not know who Reneé Rapp is. So, before diving into the Vanity Fair interview and revealing which Giant Vintage sunglasses Reneé wore, let’s cover our bases.
Reneé Rapp is a singer, songwriter, and actress who made her debut in the industry playing Regina George, but in the Broadway musical version of the ever-so-popular “Mean Girls.” Her other notable acting roles include three seasons of the HBO Max series “The Sex Lives of College Girls.”
However, Reneé has always viewed acting as a mere vehicle to get to what she always desired – pop stardom. That’s why it shouldn’t be surprising she also has a deal at Interscope Records, releasing her debut album “Snow Angel” in August 2023.
While her talent undoubtedly got her noticed by the masses, it’s her personality that has endeared her to fans the most. Reneé is remarkably confident, unfiltered (in and outside her lyrics), and hilarious, which can explain the sheer number of trending TikTok sounds she created. And if you know anything about social media, you know this is a one-way ticket to global adoration.
Reneé Rapp for Vanity Fair
Now that you’re all caught up on the wonder that is Reneé Rapp let’s dig into the Vanity Fair interview.
In the article, she dropped a few truth bombs, including that she thought she was a horrible actor and songwriter and that she hated the industry prior to landing the Regina George role on the big screen. As for the role, she revealed that she played the character a little flirtier, dryer, and meaner than Rachel McAdams.
With this insightful interview, Vanity Fair published a series of stunning photos of Reneé. In one photo, she is wearing a Gucci jacket, Dior makeup, and Giant Vintage sunglasses.
The pair of glasses in question are the FILLMORE aviator sunglasses with a straight brow bar and a rounded bridge. Though the shape of these glasses is a beauty in and of itself, it’s their color that makes them truly stand out. The antique gold-toned metal frames paired with tan lenses are nothing but a visual treat.
But perhaps more importantly for Reneé, these glasses are reminiscent of the styles Stevie Nicks couldn’t get enough of. This matters to her as she would “literally beg on hands and knees” to play Stevie Nicks, as said in the Vanity Fair article.
All About Stevie Nicks’s Style
OK, it’s obvious that Reneé wants to play Stevie Nicks because of her endless talent and fascinating life story. But since we’re on the topic of the glasses she adored (or adores, more like it), let’s briefly discuss the fashion style of the goddess of the 70s rock n’ roll.
Etheral. Bohemian. Celestial. These are just some of the words that best capture Stevie Nicks’s style. Her first garments (and accessories) that come to mind are undoubtedly flowy dresses, crystal jewelry, and platform boots. And, of course, the timeless aviator sunglasses.
Even now, Stevie is often seen with a pair of aviator glasses with colored tints, explaining why Reneé might’ve been drawn to them as well.
