Global Glam’s Bond Girl Style
By Elena Madeira
Bond girls by definition are beautiful, but also dress assertively while holding on to their femininity. With the exception of those scenes where they are seen wearing lacy and racy lingerie, they tend to dress in slightly masculine, posh business casual, form fitting styles. Their style consists of limited but tasteful jewelry, belts that cinch the waist to show an hourglass figure, high heels to compliment their figure, makeup to accentuate natural beauty, hair beautifully kept and done, and killer eye contact to match. The Bond girl is not purely a sex object. Bond Girls have some sort of independent job and career, and are very independent-minded with great conversation skills. They carry themselves with outmost confidence and pull their whole look together effortlessly, whether its and action scene, a black-tie gala, a business meeting, or in the arms of Bond.

In The Work Place
To attain this look in the work place, invest in a few well tailored peices. Just because you want to dress edgier, doesn’t mean that you can’t mix style with conservatism. Women can wear either pant suits or skirts that should not be excessively tight or overly loose. Experiment with color. Even when making a pitch to a conservative industry sector and need to present a high-end business-like appearance, wearing a bright colored shirt with a solid colored suit will certainly inject some life into the outfit and draw some attention. Invest in a custom tailored suit, and alter all your ready-to-wear pieces to fit your body. Unlike ready-made clothing, which is often not form-fitting even after it has been tailored, couture designers can craft a fitted suit that flatters your body type and accentuates your lines with sleek, sexy and conservative cuts. Invest in a good pair of heels –The old rule that your shoes must match your purse has become obsolete – believe it or not – so long as the combination works with the rest of the outfit and appropriately compliments one another.
