As a Bond girl, confidence is the only accessory you need

As style icons go, James Bond certainly seems to have had a lot of them as love interests. The Bond girls have always been elegant and confident in a femme fatale sort of way. It should come as no surprise then, that so many of us want to emulate their look. We’ve rounded up some tips on creating that understated glamour that all of the Bond girls have done so well.

First Step, The Attitude

The casino theme is a popular choice for fancy dress parties at the moment and dressing as a Bond Girl is a classy way of pulling it off. One of the most important attributes that all of the Bond Girls have shared is confidence. So if you’re hoping to re-enact their effortless style in the casino then it helps to know what you’re doing at the tables. oddschecker has compiled a list of different bonuses that are available online. With these, you can practice playing, get to grips with some different casino games and, if you used a deposit match bonus, then you’ll get double the playing time that you paid for. This way, whether it’s a casino-themed party or a night at the actual casino, you’ll be able to play with the cool, collected confidence of any of the Bond Girls.

Choose Your Muse

The most difficult step is choosing which of the girls to channel. Over the course of his espionage career, Mr. Bond has had quite a selection of beautiful women by his side. Whether you go for the ditzy but delectable Mary Goodnight, or the devastating and dangerous Fiona Volpe, will affect your outfit choice considerably. Whilst a 1920s flapper dress screams Casino Royale, a catsuit might be more suitable for channeling your inner Volpe. Once you’ve made your choice, look into some of the shots of them on screen or, if you’ve got time to spare, watch the film!

It’s Wardrobe Time

Whether you go for full length and glamorous or short and sexy, a cocktail dress is always a winning choice.

Once you’re feeling confident and collected, and you’ve chosen your muse, it’s time for the fun part. Selecting an outfit is a joy for some of us and a terror for others, but when it comes to channeling that Bond girl energy, it’s surprisingly simple to get this bit just right. The Bond girls are, without exception, fans of slim-fitting, smart clothing, that still leaves a little to the imagination. Cocktail dresses are always an excellent starting point, or if you’re feeling a little more daring then a slim-fitting jumpsuit is a more modern option. Pair your garment of choice with some stiletto heels that you feel comfortable walking in (there’s nothing less Bond girl than stumbling around!), and you’ll be set to go. Keep your makeup relatively demure, with a simple winged liner or a red lip as the stand-out feature of the look. It’s all about achieving the right balance so, if you’re accentuating one feature, be that in clothing or makeup, keep the rest pared-back and elegant.
