Unlike any of the other run-of-the-mill sexy Halloween costumes, being a Bond Girl commands a certain degree of assertiveness and class. On film, the main Bond girls are not only attractive, they've got brains too. Whether, you choose to be a fellow agent, an ally, or a villainous femme fetale, becoming a Bond girl can be an all-around entertaining character to portray for Halloween. You can choose to mimic your favorite Bond Girl of all time or you could also dress as a general, yet iconic Bond girl. To top it off, introducing yourself with a risqué double entendre can be good fun in itself.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Evening dress
  • High Heels
  • Jewelry
  • Gloves
  • Holster
  • Fake Weapon
  1. Step 1

    Take a look at the complete list of Bond girls. If you want to be racy, consider Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton) of "Goldfinger" and use body paint to achieve head-to-toe gold. If you'd rather be a spy, think Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh) of "Tomorrow Never Dies" and her cat-suit getup.

  2. Step 2

    Be the classic Bond girl. If you can't choose one, then become the generally recognizable Bond girl. This would be the kind of Bond girl that you would meet at a high-stakes casino game or a black-tie formal event. The choice of costume could give you room to play with details and accessories.

  3. Step 3

    Get an elegant form fitting, figure-hugging evening gown. Consider provocative details, such as a thigh-high slit or a dangerously low back. Black would be the classic color of choice, but in the end style and color choice is dependent on your own personal taste.

  4. Step 4

    Slip into some high heels. Whether she's a friend or foe to 007, these women walk in the same shoes--sooner or later. High heels are a must-have for any Bond girl who is dressed to impress.

  5. Step 5

    Get the classy details. Sparkling jewels in the form of necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and/or rings can help enhance a luxurious image. Elbow length gloves can also be a posh edition to your outfit.

  6. Step 6

    Find a weapon of choice. Get a fake gun or dagger. You can even incorporate this to your outfit by having a thigh holster that's exposed from the slit of your skirt. Whether or not you need weaponry is up to you.

  7. Step 7

    Get a guy to dress up as the legendary James Bond. Have him stand by your side as arm candy and no one will mistaken your identity--or perhaps, your secret identity.

Tips & Warnings
  • Bond girl hair and makeup can be classy, sultry, but never too overwhelming. Look at the list of Bond girls for beauty ideas.
  • If you don't feel comfortable in figure-hugging attire and do not have the time to go on a Bond girl workout regimen, you may want to get body sculpting underwear.
