Femme Fatale

The Bond Girl: Wai lin (Michelle Yeoh), Tomorrow Never Dies, 1997

Toting a machine gun (or two) requires fearlessness, and nothing exudes that more than head-to-toe leather. For resort, go all-in with this Rag & Bone jacket and Bally pencil skirt.

Marlohe wears a Rag & Bone jacket, a Bally skirt, and a Linea Pelle Collection belt.

The Bond Girl: Solitaire (Jane Seymour), Live and Let Die, 1973

It’s the color of fire, passion, and blood, and it will stop anyone dead in his tracks. Just look at how the bold hue and killer curves complement an elegant silhouette, like that of this Tom Ford dress and cape.

Marlohe wears a Tom Ford dress and cape, Oscar de la Renta earrings, a Sequin necklace, 
a Tom Ford choker, and Ralph Lauren Collection shoes.

The Bond Girl: Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi), From Russia With Love, 1963

Every woman needs a trench in her closet—be it for gray days, concealing a weapon, or a big lingerie reveal. But it needn’t be boring. Instead, have some fun with a bright color, statement details, or a flirty silhouette like this Marni number.

Marlohe wears a Marni jacket and belt, a Rag & Bone dress, and Christian Louboutin pumps.

The Bond Girl: Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress), Dr. No, 1962

Though it may not always happen on the beach, a good first impression, whether meeting a date or, in the case of a Bond girl, your mark, is about personality. Go with what works for your body—like Ursula did, with her curve-flaunting bikini and Bérénice did, in this Michael Kors version.

Marlohe wears a Michael Kors swimsuit, a Kara Ross skinny belt, a 3.1 Phillip Lim oversize belt, and Valentino pumps.

The Bond Girl: Jinx Johnson (Halle Berry), Die Another Day, 2002

In addition to adoring a belted bikini, Bond heroines love citrusy shades and color blocking, which can work off the beach with easy separates. The key is to mix up your tones, as seen in the pairing of these Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti shorts and midriff-tied top.

Marlohe wears a Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti top and shorts, 
a Linea Pelle Collection belt, and Gucci sandals.

The Bond Girl: Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), Casino Royale, 2006

Always keep them guessing—and gasping. A truly jaw-dropping dress looks stunning from the front, sublime from the back. This one unzips ever so provocatively in just the right places to make your exit as memorable as your entrance.

Marlohe wears a Tom Ford dress and necklace and Alexander Wang pumps.

The Bond Girl: Dr. Christmas Jones (Denise Richards), The World Is Not Enough, 1999

Christmas may have been a top scientist, but she was no lab-coat nerd. She preferred sexy basics (handy in desert explosions). Harness your powers of distraction by pairing a casual tank with sultry shorts, like these from Theyskens’ Theory.

Marlohe wears a Tee Shop tank, Theyskens’ Theory shorts, a Dannijo necklace, a Linea Pelle Collection belt, 
and Manolo Blahnik pumps.

The Bond Girl: Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman), Goldfinger, 1964

As I often say, a woman is sexiest when she doesn’t show it all off. (Sorry, Ursula.) This DVF wrap top provides just the right amount of peekaboo. And for sizzle factor? Red-hot shorts, of course.
