Kylie Jenner AI Glasses: Inside Meta Glasses by Kylie

Meta just made the celebrity smart-glasses crossover official. The new Kylie Jenner AI glasses, sold as the Meta Glasses by Kylie, headline a 26-style relaunch — and they literally answer you in Kylie Jenner’s own voice. Here is what they are, what they cost, and whether the hype is worth it.

On 23 June, Meta announced a brand-new Meta Glasses line built with eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica. One model steals the show: the Meta Glasses by Kylie, a slim oval frame codenamed Starfire and shaped with Kylie Jenner herself.

It is Jenner’s first move into wearable tech, and Meta says the silhouette was drawn from her personal style. In other words, the Kylie Jenner AI glasses are not a sticker-on collaboration — they are a distinct frame you cannot buy anywhere else in the range.

The Meta Glasses line starts at $299, with 26 style combinations across eight colourways. However, the Kylie edition sits right at the top: the Kylie Jenner AI glasses cost $399.

That premium buys the exclusive Starfire frame plus a handful of Kylie-only touches. Even so, it undercuts Meta’s previous flagship glasses, which is why several outlets framed the launch as a price cut dressed up as a celebrity drop.

So what do Meta AI glasses do beyond looking sharp? Quite a lot. The lineup debuts Muse Spark, the first model from Meta’s Superintelligence Labs, which gives smarter answers and can read the scene in front of you for real-time context.

On top of that, Meta added 14 new languages for live translation, bringing the total to 20, plus a “dynamic photos” burst mode that picks your best shot and walking directions whispered in your ear. As with every pair of Meta AI glasses, built-in cameras, microphones and speakers handle photos, video, music and calls.

Here is the headline trick. Buyers of the Kylie Jenner AI glasses can set an AI-generated version of Jenner’s voice as the on-board Meta assistant, so the glasses greet you, answer questions and run onboarding in her tone.

Naturally, Meta leaned into the meme: the glasses can wake you with her viral “Rise and Shine.” The Starfire frame also hides a small gemstone beside the camera and a metal nose pad engineered to shrug off makeup residue.

For the first time, Meta designed these glasses in-house instead of badging them as Ray-Ban or Oakley. EssilorLuxottica still builds them, yet the branding is pure Meta — a real shift in the company’s AI smart glasses strategy.

Against the outgoing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses, the Kylie Jenner AI glasses win on personality and price. They are cheaper, they run the newer Muse Spark brain, and they ship in a frame no rival offers.

That said, the older Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta AI glasses still appeal to buyers who want a familiar fashion label over a celebrity tie-in. For most shoppers, the deciding factor will be whether Kylie’s voice is a genuine feature or a gimmick.

The timing is no accident. Reports place Apple’s own smart-glasses debut close behind, so Meta moved first with a louder, cheaper, celebrity-fronted launch.

Meanwhile, the rest of the field is heating up, as Huawei, Xiaomi and Rokid all pushed fresh AI glasses this season. By stapling a Kardashian-Jenner name to the category, Meta simply bought itself the headlines.

If you already wanted Meta’s glasses and like the slim oval look, the Kylie Jenner AI glasses are an easy yes — the $399 price is fair for the tech inside. The voice and the gemstone are bonuses, not reasons.

If you are a Kylie superfan, the appeal is obvious. Everyone else should weigh the $100 premium over the standard $299 frames and decide how much a famous voice in your ear is really worth.
