Just wondering what dresses or long gowns you loved on the Bond Girls throughout the series so far...
I love Barbara Backs evening gown in "Spy who loved me", always loved that gown, and I love the long dress Tanya Roberts wears when Bond sees her at the outdoor party in "A view to a kill". does anyone else have a favorite gown or dress they love?

Lois Chiles's Venice dress in MR, when she meets up with Roger Moore in Venice, is adorable. Yes it is a business dress rather than an evening gown, but I love the way it looks on her and it is among the best in the series. Wish I could find something like that for my own girlfriend.

Kara Milovy performing at the Bratislava Conservatory at the beginning of TLD. Perhaps it's just because Maryam d'Abo is my favorite Bond girl, or because I just finished watching the film, but the simple, elegant, (low cut) black velvet gown speaks volumes.

Corinne's in MR. Not only the most bangable Bond girl (second to Diana Rigg), but she had also the most delicate dresses and gowns cut for her.

Diana Rigg had some great outfits (and hair) in OHMSS.

Interesting question, but off the top of my head w/o thinking about it too hard:

1. Vesper Lynd's purple dress in Casino Royale. The one Bond wants her to wear as she enters the (poker) room.
2. Solitaire's white dress (w/ well designed cleavage) she wears in the end of the film.
3. Solange's red/orange dress worn in Casino Royale during her and Bond's first meeting.
4. Kara Milovy's black dress worn in promos (and maybe the film....I can't remember). Seen here: Link
5. Anya Amosova's purple dress worn in TSWLM.

Blofeld's get-up in Diamonds are Forever - one for the fuller figure. I think he looks smashing; bit of heft, knows the way around a steak and kidney pudding, lovely.

Halle Berry in her Ice Palace dress in DUD is the only thing worth watching that godawful rubbish for.

Anya's evening dress and Tracy's dress in the PTS are probably some of the best ones.

And let's not forget Elektra King... her red casino dress, and her "torture"-dress at the end are both great.

I like Carey Lowell's dress at the casino in Licence to Kill. Looks great when she tears the bottom half away revealing the Beretta.

Ooh yes, I have to say Corrines silk nightgown is gorgous too, the one she wears in the bedroom.

I´d say the woman makes the dress ;) But I´ve always fancied the red dress Solange had in The Ocean Club :tup:

I'll have to go with Tracy's evening dress that she wears at the Casino. Stunning!

After that it has to be Vesper's purple one.

Anya Amasova's dress that she wears at the Mojava Club & across the Cairo desert in TSWLM.

In CR, Vesper's dress in Montenegro Casino is a close 2nd.

(unrelated... I always liked Natalia's tapestry coat in Goldeneye too)

Dresses are a bit of a girly thing I suppose for an undercover agent like me to comment on I guess, but.........
Tracys evening gown at the begining of OHMSS i remember wery well. I think Diana Rigg asked to keep it and wore it on some chat shows as i recall. Also Jane Seymore,s Tarot reading cape in LALD was very exotic. But I dont think she wore it. Just sits in it on the chair. I wonder what happened to all those costume,s. I imagine they were not kept together. An exibition of those would be wonderful The bad guys also, Goldfinger in his plus fours ect. what a loss to the film world.

"I will wear this one in Picadilly".

Sophie Marceas dress in The world is not enough is gorgous too. The dress she wears when shes tied Bond up in the chair.
