The Y2K resurgence shows zero percent chance of slowing down in 2024, including your eyewear. Enter: Bayonetta glasses.

Whether or not you need to wear glasses for vision purposes or enjoy accessorizing with faux lenses, Bayonetta glasses are shaping up to be the one style you must have in your rotation for this year. The '00s-inspired circular style gained popularity in 2023 and is poised to take over completely this year thanks to — what else — TikTok.

Bayonetta glasses (so named because of a Japanese video game character who wore the small, round glasses) were popular in the 2000s and worn by stars like Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie. While the style felt dated for a few years after their 2000s heyday, they've now been embraced by modern trendsetters like Bella Hadid and Gabriette. Miu Miu even showed Bayonetta-inspired lenses on the runway alongside their librariancore collection, so, yeah, it's definitely time to get a pair — or bring your original Bayonettas out of storage!

Bayonetta glasses are typically small in size with an oval or soft square frame and can be black, tortoiseshell, or metallic. Bayonettas are so popular that there's even a TikTok filter to show you what you'd look like in the style, and users are loving the results.

If you're still not sure about the glasses after trying out the filter, take a scroll through the trending videos and see how cute the style looks on pretty much everyone.

Bayonettas are the perfect finishing touch to all your Y2K-esque outfits, but they're not limited to a slip skirt and sweater ensemble, either. They work just as well with a 2024 athleisure look or a white T-shirt and jeans. The year of the Bayonetta is officially here, and we are ready.
