Star Trek: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Geordi's VISOR

5. Rihanna's VISOR

In 2016, Rihanna developed a new line of sunglasses in collaboration with Dior, which the pop star said were directly inspired by Geordi's unique style.

'I've always been obsessed with his eyewear', Rihanna said while explaining her design process. She continued, 'and when I got to Dior and saw all the materials I could play with, it all just came together.' It didn't take long for Rihanna's drawings to be translated into a physical prototype, and the line was released later that year in June.

While her sunglasses are definitely more fashion-focused than Geordi's VISOR, you can kind of see the similarities if you really squint. The connected lenses are really the best giveaway.

Rihanna's always been a big Star Trek fan, something she's mentioned in the past. She even made a song and music video called Sledgehammer to promote Star Trek Beyond. It's nice to see her get opportunities to nerd out about Trek to her fans.
