On January 20, 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron turned heads at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, by delivering his speech while wearing dark aviator sunglasses indoors. The unexpected accessory was not a fashion statement but a practical choice to shield his eyes from a burst blood vessel condition, known as sub-conjunctival hemorrhage, which caused redness and sensitivity.
The sunglasses in question are the Henry Jullien Pacific S 01 model, a luxurious aviator-style frame gifted to Macron by the French eyewear brand in 2024. Priced at 659 euros (approximately $710 USD), these shades feature reflective lenses and a premium design that quickly went viral on social media, drawing comparisons to Top Gun aesthetics.
You can purchase the Henry Jullien Pacific S 01 directly from the official Henry Jullien website or select luxury eyewear retailers worldwide.


Macron's eyewear choice added a layer of intrigue to his address, where he discussed global issues like trade tensions. Despite the medical reason, the look has boosted interest in the brand, with shares rising after the appearance.
