The night will be long for the timeless glamour of Bond girls. Perhaps we should remind you of some iconic moments that define the ideal style for these special occasions.
The list of the most iconic Bond girl outfits always resurfaces, with modern and classic reinterpretations. These looks are always chic and always timely.
Do you remember the stunning black long dress worn by Eva Green in Casino Royale? Designed by Versace, it featured a low neckline and wide criss-cross straps at the back. This unforgettable gown was complemented by a long statement necklace and matching earrings. In the same film, Caterina Murino, who played Solange, wore a sexy pomegranate silk dress with a plunging neckline and flowing bottom that captured Italian elegance.
Léa Seydoux, as Madeleine Swann in Spectre, wore a satin dusty-green floor-length gown that defined timeless sophistication.
If you want to channel the Bond girl allure, look for clever details like lace, sequins, or high slits. Opt for sheer fabrics for a sensual vibe, or choose gowns inspired by art, evoking priceless masterpieces. Bold colors like emerald green, royal blue, or deep burgundy can add a touch of glamour to your evening wardrobe. Let the Bond girl spirit guide your celebrations this season and make every night unforgettable.
Interviews
Mathilde Charuet
1. Remember a moment when you were a kid, striking poses, and realized you’d be a model.
I remember every year when we decorated the Christmas tree with my parents and brother. I loved putting on my best outfit and posing in front of the tree once the decorations were finished.
2. Tell us about your first collaboration.
It wasn’t my very first collaboration, but it left an impression. Five years ago, in Riyadh, I participated in a fashion show organized by a princess. It was groundbreaking—around 40 models were involved, and it was the first show in the country’s history where women weren’t veiled.
3. Which designer collaboration will you never forget and why?
A shoot I’ll never forget was for YSL’s La Nuit de l’Homme. It was a winter night under the Alexandre III bridge, wearing a silk dress with a wet-hair look. Despite the cold, the video turned out stunning.
4. What was it like working with Galliano?
Galliano is a fashion virtuoso. Shooting for him was a dream—we worked in an apartment with a rooftop terrace overlooking the Seine. The experience was surreal.
5. How was your experience working with Karl Lagerfeld?
Meeting Karl was incredible. He was strict yet made you feel special. Working with someone so detail-oriented yet stress-free was a life lesson. He once said, “Do what makes you happy. Forget about the money.” I try to live by that.
6. Tell us about your collaboration with Lanvin and Elie Saab.
Elie Saab was one of my most beautiful collaborations. At the casting, Elie loved my bangs so much he altered the show’s styling—all the girls wore fake bangs, but mine were real!
7. What is your favorite brand?
I adore Alaïa for his precision and timeless designs. I also love Léna Erziak’s bold collections and Sandra J bags. Recently, I discovered Inclover from Kazakhstan, which balances wearability and exclusivity.
8. What’s your ideal outfit for the festive season?
I love lace tights paired with a little black dress—simple yet elegant.
9. How do you stay strong and beautiful despite your busy schedule?
Sleep is essential—I get 8-9 hours nightly. Hydration is key, with proper skincare and 2 liters of water daily.
10. What inspired your Boucheron campaign?
The campaign was unforgettable. Handling the jewelry required velvet gloves, and I was accompanied by bodyguards the entire time. It felt surreal.
11. Tell us about this cover shoot.
I loved working with Greg Alexander of Mephistopheles Productions. The location, Maison Villeroy, was stunning—a hidden gem with breathtaking interiors.
12. What are your next plans?
I’m preparing for Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week in January. I’ve also received acting proposals following my Cannes Film Festival appearance.
