At first, the controversy around Los Angeles Clippers owner Don Sterling was just another sad debacle exposing the ugly soul of humanity. Then his ex-girlfriend V. Stiviano stepped out in a fabulously ridiculous full-faced reflective visor to ward off paparazzi flashes (and harmful UV rays?).

Looks pretty good on a runway, right? Not as directional as Alexander McQueen’s fall/winter 2012 visors, but it gets the job done.

This specific breed of headgear, dubbed a “solar visor,” has apparently been all the rage for almost a decade in Asia, particularly among bikers. In China they go for around $1, but stateside one will set you back $29 on Amazon.

Is she a welder, Darth Vader, Daft Punk?? Take your pick.
