Over the years Bond has donned his dinner jacket/tuxedo in numerous movies, but they have varied in style. Which is your favourite?

To start us off, my choices:

1. Tomorrow Never Dies - There's something about Brosnan's tux in this movie that just stands out. I have no idea why, but for me it is the ultimate eye catcher in the series so far.

2. Casino Royale - Vesper's taste in suits is indeed supreme!

3. Dr. No - The original. Connery gives the impression that he should have been born in such an outfit. Perhaps there's nothing remarkable about the tux itself, but the confidence Connery shows in it sways me to vote this as my number three. Although let's face it, he'd make a pair of soiled jeans and an old t-shirt look good!

Gotta totally agree with #3. Connery's tux was not only classic, but the way it fit him was fantastic.

What about Moore's TSWLM double breasted tux with extra flared pant legs?

I considered 'The Spy Who Loved Me' tux, certainly Moore's best. Close 4th maybe

Moore's in FYEO during the dinner with Kristatos is a good one.

Connery's white jacket in GF is classic as well.

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Definitely the tux Connery's Bond wears in Thunderball.

[Cruiserweight]

Moore's white dinner tux in Octopussy.

[sharpshooter]

Connery's white jacket in GF is classic as well.

This one is my favourite. I also like Connery's black tuxedo in Thunderball a great deal.

Though I have to agree that Pierce looks good in the tux in TND,
CR's tux scene will never be surpassed.

For me: Connery's three piece suit in Goldfinger, as well as the Tuxedo in thunderball.

I'll go with the White tux from Goldfinger as my favorite. Im pretty sure when i go to the prom I will wear that. A close second is that tux Roger wears in TSWLM. absolutely wonderful. and how about the suit he wears in FYEO when his eyes "feast" on Moneypeeny

Say what you will but I think Lazenby's ruffled shirt/tux combo was a terrific choice. In fact, I think the entire Lazenby wardrobe was as smashing a success and as revolutionary as Craig's CR break with tradition.

I must agree. Frilly tux ftw.

[007Bond007]

connery indefinetly.

[O.H.M.S.S.]

I loved Connery's in the PTS of GF and the one he's wearing in DN when Bond is introduced, Lazenby's in OHMSS's hotel scenes, Moore has a great tuxedo in TSWLM at the Mojabe Club, Dalton looked great in the casino in LTK, the same goes for Brosnan in GE and Craig in CR.

CR's tux scene will never be surpassed.

Exactly! This is a master casino scene!

[O.H.M.S.S.]

I agree with Aris, I think Sean Connery's white tuxedo in the pre-titles of Goldfinger is the finest in the series.

It was made pre-QUANTUM so here's a pic for comparison.
