Most Memorable Bond Girl Ever!

Well it’s official!  The Queen has been given an honorary Bafta for the “Most Memorable Bond Girl” in recognition of a lifetime’s support of British Film and Television.  The award was presented to the Queen by the Sir Kenneth Brannagh. We all know that the London Olympics was fantastic for the UK both economically and emotionally and seeing the Queen arrive in style by parachute and “Skyfall”  (yes ok, we know it was a stunt man really but this was brilliant for the film and Bond fans worldwide) had to be one of the main highlights of the Olympics.  Daniel Craig arriving at Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen and escort her through the corridors was a brilliantly fantastic idea and showed the World that the Queen has a great sense of humour.  Only one thing was missing in our view though – an appearance by a James Bond Tribute Band!  It would have been awesome to have had THE Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band there performing the Bond Music – Skyfall as she landed and made her entrance!

How do I dress like a bond girl?

It’s your opportunity to be a Bond girl for a night – and there are lots of Bond girls to model yourself on!  Pussy Galore, Plenty O’Toole, Holly Goodhead and Honey Ryder!  Lots of names with double entendres! Of course, it may get a bit chilly if you turned up at a party dressed like Ursula Andress in a bikini or with gold body paint all over but you’d certainly grab more than your fair share of attention!   There’s also the black bodysuit/catsuits although be warned these outfits are fairly unforgiving – you may be a little bit more Pussy Galore than you intended to be!

You don’t have to go that far though!  There are stunning dresses available and every bond girl had the opportunity to wear a sexy and stunning dress either in the film or walking down the red carpet afterwards so there are lots of options available.  Look at your own figures – what style dress works well on you – backless, plunging necklines, halter neck, bodycon, floaty and flirty – there will be a bond style dress to fit!

Whatever your bodyshape remember the emphasis should be on top to toe glamour.  To be honest, the more glamorous the better and this may be one of the occasions when you can actually get away with wearing top to toe in sequins without looking like you are a Shirley Bassey tribute singer!  That’s the job of the female singer in the The Name is Band the Bond Tribute Band – now she LIVES in head to toe sequins – all day, everyday!
