Dangerous and Well Dressed

What does the best dressed heroine or villain of the 50s or 60s wear?

While the photos below focus primarily on early Bond Girls (and one uber-villain), these links will help you find costuming for more eras, ages and character types:

  • Browse Amalgamated Clothing on Mount Vernon Ave in Alexandria, where shoppers will receive a discount by mentioning the Lit Up Ball, through Saturday, Oct. 18.
  • Check out our Lit Up Ball Pinterest board.
  • Go to the International Spy Museum’s exhibit: Exquisitely Evil: 50 Years of Bond Villains (and if you have a ticket to the Ball, you get a discount on admission through Oct. 31!)

 

These Bond film images may help inspire your Lit Up Ball costume:

 

Tatiana Romanova: From Russia with Love

Good, with many outfits to choose from.

 

 

 

 

Rosa Klebb: From Russia with Love

Evil, with knife-pointed shoes for extra villainy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pussy Galore: Goldfinger 

Evil, then switches to Bond’s side and is good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honey Rider: Dr. No

Good.

Also famous for wearing a bikini with a big knife.

 

 

 

 

Sylvia Trench: Dr. No and From Russia with Love

Good, and additionally the only actress to appear in two Bond films as the same character – besides those who played Moneypenny, and Dame Judi Dench (M).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Miss Taro: Dr. No

Evil. Totally tries to kill Bond.
