Well, yesterday saw the opening of the 23rd Bond movie and I for one cannot WAIT to see it. This is Daniel Craig's third outing as the charismatic, yet "blunt", Bond and, by all accounts he is really hitting his stride with the character. Those naysayers that waxed lyrical about the fact he was "too blond" to ever play the role successfully must surely have their words served to them on a plate now.
Looking at the offerings on the carpet, we had a real mix of fortunes; Craig was impeccable (as always-yep, *slightly* biased), his new Bond Girl Berenice Marlohe really knocked it out of the park, IMHO, in her scarlet Westwood. Classic Vivienne, worn with minimal embellishment and heavy, smoky eyes. Go to the top of the class, Ms Marlohe. Good choice of colour too...
Next up was Naomie Harris in the finale dress from the 2012 Marios Schwab runway. If i'm honest, this didn't seem to have the impact that the Westwood did. It somehow seemed a little, dare we say, casual? I'm not sure how, being full length, with black chiffon and sequins, but there you go.
Shame, because she looked amazing appearing in the film in this classic Amanda Wakeley dress that we found on Vogue.co.uk. It had far more of the old school glamour about it, which of course we are going to LOVE...
In fact this dress did remind us of a few of our own golden gowns in store, along with some stunning vintage furs, that would satisfy the tastes of any Bond Girl worth her Walther PPK....
