Skyfall: Bond Girls


As everyone knows the newest Bond film has been released and it’s on everyone lips. This year we see the 50th anniversary of the Bond franchise and the wardrobe designers have not let us down.  Jany Temine- costume designer for Skyfall created the fantastic black gown worn by Berenice Marlohe. This isn’t just any ordinary dress though, with over 60,000 crystals applied by hand, it took around 6 months to make! The dress is worn for the first scene where Severine (Malohes’ character) meets Mr Bond himself.

All the Bond girls flaunt their good looks and perfect features, and this dress is perfect to show them off. Severine first appears with her back to the screen, so the first thing we see is the tattoo effects on her back making her look naked, which we all know, Bond girls normally wear the minimal amount.
Our first Bond girl in Dr No, Ursula Andress, is seen in the iconic white bikini. This is then replicated with Halle Berry in Die Another Day.

Jany Temine also chose dresses from British designer Amanda Wakely, to suit the made in London theme. These dresses are seen on M, played by Judi Dench and Naomie Harris, who plays undercover agent Eve. Again suiting the Bond girl theme, Naomie looks fantastic in the golden strapless maxi dress, which really enhances her body shape, much like the dress Severine wears in the Casino.
