Meta is continuing to build out its smart glasses business, which launched earlier this year as a lower-cost alternative to its Ray-Ban-branded models and as a vehicle for celebrity partnerships such as the one with Kylie Jenner. At its Connect 2026 event, the company unveiled a new collection made in collaboration with Blackpink member Lisa.

Two new styles

The "Meta Glasses by Lisa" line includes two models. The Meta Adventurer Lisa Edition is a rectangular design with a semi-translucent Moonlit Sky frame and Blush-colored lenses. The new Meta Capri Lisa Edition, meanwhile, offers a darker, cat-eye-shaped frame paired with grey lenses. Both models share custom touches, including a star detail on the temple tips, a matching charging case featuring a star motif, and case charms shaped like Lisa's pets. The level of personalization echoes the earlier Kylie Jenner edition, which included its own decorative elements and a mirror bar. Both new models retain the same core features found on previous Meta smart glasses, including Meta AI, audio playback, a built-in camera, and support for prescription lenses.

Additional launches and market expansion

Meta also refreshed its Kylie Jenner collaboration with a new Ivory colorway of the Starfire frame. Both the Lisa and Jenner special editions start at $399. Separately, the company introduced a cheaper black version of the Meta Adventurer frame with a simpler plug-in charging case, priced at $249 — $50 below the standard starting price. Meta is also launching an entirely new frame design called Nova, which resembles Ray-Ban's Headliner style. Alongside these product announcements, Meta said its smart glasses will become available today in Singapore, South Korea, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates, with Brazil to follow soon.
