Sunglasses are once used as sun-shielding properties and nowadays, are also used as a fashion status. Why this reason? Because everyone can take these eyewear to many places, from the beach to the nightclubs!

Talking about Ms. Rene Russo... she puts on the sunglasses, the people go and ask to themselves when she turns around the corner: "Who's that beautiful lady??? (...) That woman's sooooo beautiful!". 

So, here are some cool ideas for the girls and women to inspire like Rene !

Butterfly-shaped sunglasses:
Large and in charge! This unique, butterfly-inspired shape is generally oversized and covers much of the face. The generous sizing also provides great coverage against the sun. Like in this picture above of Rene in Beverly Hills with the hair in the wind... so beautiful <3 <3 

Rene so HOT and BEAUTIFUL in Wayfarer Ray-Ban sunglasses.... one of my favorites!

Wayfarer sunglasses:
This versatile, timeless style features a signature thick frame and trapezoidal shape, and fits most face shapes and outfits. It's one of the most popular sunglasses between most people... Rene (and I) love these Wayfarer sunglasses!!!

Rectangular sunglasses:
Think wide, rectangular lenses, some with angular corners, others with more rounded edges. If the frame of the lens is wider than it is tall, it’s probably a rectangle. Ms. Rene Russo used mostly in Thomas Crown Affair and Two for the Money era.

Semi-rimeless sunglasses:
This half-framed style, also known as clubman or browline, features a frame edge on top, with no frame at the bottom. Not only men use this type of sunglasses, women too, like Rene. This lovely lady used these sunglasses specially on the movies Lethal Weapon 3 and In The Line of Fire. Even the movies are set in the 90's, she looked perfect in it.

CHARACTER IN FOCUS: Lilly Raines, "In the Line of Fire" (1993)

For the first time in movies, male Secret Service Agents work with women, and that happens in the movie In the Line of Fire (1993), with Frank Horrigan (Clint Eastwood, great in Dirty Harry movies, Gran Torino, Million Dollar Baby, and others) and Lilly Raines (Rene Russo). 
Rene's Lilly Raines in this movie has a double function: as a Secret Service associate and a lover. Even Frank and Ms. Raines had a difficult start together, during the movie their relationship began to concretize when Mr. Horrigan said to himself: "If she looks back, that's means she's interested."

And also during the movie, Frank and Lilly's conversation were all about jazz, work, strategy and mainly romance. For movie critic Roger Ebert, it looked like a real conversation between real people. And thanks to Lilly, she saved Frank from the killer Mitch Leary (John Malkovich), who was thrown up high in the elevator. 

And the ending was like a fairytale ending.... Lilly ended happily with Frank. #verycute.

According to Ms. Russo, in 2014.... "Well, first of all, he was the only actor I've ever been intimidated by. We were being driven to set together, I don't know why. It usually doesn't happen. But I was in the car, and I just didn't know what to say to him. I was blathering on about nothing. I mean, talk about embarrassing. 'Blah blah blah blah blah' — and he did not say one word. He's wonderful. [But] he did not say one word. 

We made a pact. I eat garlic and he eats garlic. And so we promised each other that we would both eat garlic, so we would cancel each other out, and we wouldn't have to give up our garlic. And then I had to come back for the love scene — because there was a period there where I wasn't shooting, and he was. It was about three weeks or a month. And when I came back, I was pregnant (of Rose Gilroy), and I really couldn't eat garlic. So, yeah, that was a really difficult love scene. I mean, I had morning sickness. I was like, Are you going to hold this together here?" 

Rene Russo: concentration and elegance.

Release Date: July 9, 1993 (USA) / October 22, 1993 (Brazil)

Running Time: 128 min.

Budget / Box office: US$40 million / US$177 million (box office hit success)

Plot Summary: Frank Horrigan (played by actor/director Clint Eastwood) is a veteran Secret Service agent who is close to retirement. He keeps thinking back to November 22, 1963, when we was a hand-picked agent for President John Kennedy, and, became one of the few to lose a president to an assassin after Kennedy's death. 30 years later, the USA President is the target of former CIA assassin Mitch Leary (John Malkovich, great in Dangerous Liaisons & Con Air), because the assassin felt betrayed by the government. That's the reason for what Leary plans to kill the president.

Later, Mr. Horrigan and his partner, Al D'Andrea (Dylan McDermott, from Hamburger Hill & Steel Magnolias) go to the White House meet the other agents, the director Sam Campagna (John Mahoney, from Frasier); Bill Watts (Gary Cole), a young assistant; and Lilly Raines (Rene Russo), the female agent of the Secret Service team, who is enchanted by Frank, and vice-versa. And that is proved when Mr. Horrigan takes Ms. Raines to the Lincoln Memorial, and both eat an ice cream.  He says to her that he believes that female agents work in the Service simply because the President wishes to court the female vote throughout the country. By the time Lilly walks away, Frank thinks to himself: "If she looks back, that means she's interested."

By the movie goes by, Horrigan suspects that Leary uses lot of false identities, such as Joseph McCrawley, John Booth and James Carney, and the assassin makes lots of victims, including Al.

The ending, in my opinion, is fantastic, and it happens in Los Angeles. Leary, now as James Carney, points his plastic gun at Frank, who tries to save the president, but who ended shot was Mr. Horrigan... and everybody ran away. After that, the killer takes Horrigan to the elevator, up up and away, and what surprised him is that the agent had a bulletproof vest. Agent Raines, with all the agents, witness the scene. 
At the hotel elevator, Leary breaks the glass, and both fight there, and at the end, the killer loses balance until his sudden death, thrown up high in the elevator. And Frank ends the movie happily ever after with Lilly Raines, now acclaimed as a hero (and himself decided to announce his retirement).

Rene Russo: concentration and elegance.
