The 41-year-old socialite is so "obsessed" with sunglasses and wears them at any time of day or night, so she felt inspired to launch a 12-piece collection of Y2K-inspired styles inspired by her reality TV heyday in the 2000s.

She told Elle US: "Well, as everyone knows, I’m obsessed with sunglasses. I wear them all the time, even at night. Sometimes, when I’m walking out of a club, and there are cameras or flashes, or if I’m taking a million selfies, it’s just better to have sunglasses on. When you wear sunglasses, you always look perfect," she says.

The former 'Simple Life' star - who has collaborated with Quay Sunglasses as well as non-profit organisation, Project Glimmer, to create the collection - went on to explain that working with a female-driven brand has helped her reach her goal of empowering women.

"Collaborating with a brand that is both led by women and has such a strong emphasis on empowering women, all while being able to give back with them to a charity like Project Glimmer is exactly what I aim to do," she said.

"These frames give you that extra confidence to ‘sliv’ your best life and go after your wildest dreams. The entire collection...loves it!"
