Overview
- At a Political Party Live show in London, Keir Starmer put on aviator sunglasses and greeted the audience with “Bonjour” in a nod to Emmanuel Macron’s recent look.
- Starmer posted the clip on TikTok, tagging Macron with the caption “Talk to me, Goose,” referencing Top Gun.
- Macron replied “for sure” within minutes, after which Starmer shared a Top Gun–style mock-up image featuring both leaders.
- The sunglasses were identified as Henry Jullien’s Pacific S 01 model priced at about €659, with the brand reporting a demand surge and parent iVision Tech’s shares jumping from €1.51 to €2.63 by Friday.
- Macron previously said he wore the glasses at Davos to cover a benign burst blood vessel, and at the same event Starmer said President Donald Trump regularly calls him on his mobile.
