Zendaya just delivered another fashion moment by way of off-duty street style and a pair of Aussie sunnies.

The actor has been spotted wearing Le Specs’ Honey Pot in Black Brown Mono, $80, a slim rectangular pair with enough early-2000s attitude to make a Y2K devotee happy, but none of the frantic nostalgia that can make a trend revival feel like a costume department emergency.

This is the good version of Y2K.

The Honey Pot has a neat black frame, brown mono lenses and softly bevelled edges that round off the otherwise rectangular silhouette.

The proportions are midsize and deliberately unfussy, giving the sunglasses that elusive quality of looking cool without appearing to have tried particularly hard.

Which, as anyone who has spent 25 minutes trying to look as though they got dressed in five will know, is an extremely difficult thing to achieve.

Put them on with jeans and a white shirt and suddenly you have a point of view. Wear them with a blazer and the outfit acquires a certain editorial severity.

Add them to a linen dress and you are no longer simply going to lunch, you are apparently someone who has very strong opinions about natural wine.

This is why sunglasses are fashion’s great cheat code. They sit on your face, attract immediate attention and require almost no commitment from the rest of your wardrobe.

A good pair can make a very average outfit look deliberate. A great pair can make you look like Zendaya (maybe)?

Well, not exactly like Zendaya.

But the Honey Pot does have the kind of shape that makes sense on someone who can wear couture to a film premiere and then make a pair of accessible Australian sunglasses look like the most important object in the room.

Le Specs has been making eyewear in Sydney since 1979, long before Y2K became a trend cycle that could be revived, dissected, memed and sold back to us every few years.

The brand has since become an international name, with its sunglasses spotted on Rihanna, Beyoncé, Suki Waterhouse and Kendall Jenner.

But the appeal of Le Specs has never been that you need a celebrity-sized budget to participate.

The Honey Pot is a case in point.

At $80, it is not so expensive that buying a new pair of sunglasses requires a serious conversation with your bank account.

Nor is it so cheap that they feel like the sort of thing you buy at 4 pm and discover broken beneath a beach towel by 5.30 pm.

The construction is practical, too. The frame is lightweight, durable and impact-resistant, while the polycarbonate lenses are shatterproof and scratch-resistant.

There is Le Specs’ signature metal detail at the temples, which is just enough hardware to stop the design becoming another anonymous pair of black sunglasses.

And the brown lenses are doing more work than they appear to be.

They soften the black frame and give the pair a warmer, slightly more vintage feel.

One shopper has already declared them “the best sunglasses ever”, praising the comfort, style and affordable price.

Which is the most convincing review of all because, unlike a celebrity wearing them for a photograph, an actual person has presumably had to live with them.

The Honey Pot’s slimmer frame lets your face be seen.

It has attitude without shouting. It feels retro without being precious about it.

And, crucially, it looks like the sort of thing you might wear for years rather than until the algorithm decides Y2K is over again.

Zendaya may have provided the inspiration, but the $80 price tag makes this one of those celebrity fashion moments that does not have to remain on Instagram.

Your wardrobe can actually get involved.
