Nanette Lepore and Emma Roberts? Talk about a winning pair.

Just take a look at Lepore's new range for the 2012 Design Series for Vogue Eyewear, for which she drew inspiration from the young actress, she tells Women's Wear Daily.

"I looked to glamorous actresses from the '20s to the present while I was designing and fell in love with Emma,” Lepore says of the starlet. “She’s chic, youthful, and confident in her style. I really wanted to make every element of my sunglasses unique, from the metallic cyan packaging to the inlaid gold filigree on the frames."

Auntie Julia will be so proud!

Available for $129.95 a pair at Sunglass Hut locations come October, the limited-edition collection of cream-hued cat-eye shades follows past Vogue Eyewear collaborations with Rebecca Minkoff, Monica Botkier, Devi Kroell, Kara Ross, Yeohlee Teng, and Matt Murphy.

Ooh. Our bleary-eyed hangover days are going to be so much more glamorous this fall.
