Not your average shades! Maluma is seeing things differently thanks to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
These glasses aren’t as they appear. The style is packed with futuristic capabilities that offer users a hands-free way to capture, share and livestream the moments that matter most. Our favorites of the moment, and Maluma’s too, are the Wayfarer and Skyler styles in glossy black. Both styles are currently available on Ray-Ban.com starting from $316.00.
The Skyler is a cat eye sunglass style that comes in three unique colorways with a slew of lens choices, also in different hues. The Wayfarer is a square-shaped traditional glasses style with blue light-filtering lenses. No matter the style, these Ray-Ban and Meta smart glasses let you take 12MP photos, 1040p videos, answer phone calls and engage with AI. You can snap photos, record videos and livestream on Facebook and Instagram with the glasses to share in real-time.
These bad boys will last for up to four hours, however, if they do die, they come in a chargeable case. You can mix and match lenses and frame colors on Ray-Ban’s website to create your perfect frames. For further customization options, you can get both styles’ prescriptions, adding a practical element to these futuristic spectacles.
The “Según Quién” singer, who starred in a campaign for Meta back in 2024, likes wearing them because they allow him to share his “unique point of view” with fans.
“They’re super simple to use and feel like the average pair of sunglasses, except now I am more present,” the 29-year-old singer explained in an email interview with Billboard before heading back home to Colombia for the holidays.
“My favorite thing about the glasses is that I can share my unique point of view while living my life, enjoying moments with family and friends and even while on stage.” Ray-Ban and Meta tapped Maluma, Erykah Badu, Coi Leray and Coco Gauff for the campaign. Each celeb was styled in either the Meta Wayfarer and Meta Headliner smart glasses.
“I wear glasses all the time, so I like to match the glasses with my outfit but also the vibes of the day,” he explained of his favorite style of glasses. “Sometimes I wear a classic Wayfarer and other moments I go bold and bright. I even wore the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer during my Latin Grammys performance [last November].”
