| Lea Seydoux in Spectre |
When it comes to the James Bond movies, there are a couple things you can always count on. 007 is one of Great Britain's best spies, he enjoys a good shaken martini and he'll either work alongside or face off against a beautiful woman. But society has changed quite a bit in since the first James Bond movie, Dr. No, was released in 1962, and in the case of the Bond ladies, what they wore in the early 1960s wouldn't necessarily work well in one of the modern movies. With that in mind, Jany Temime, who was the costume designer on Skyfall and Spectre, opted for a feminist approach and garbed the women in clothing that they would actually want to wear in real life. Temime explained:
"[For] the women, what they were wearing was sexy but was something we would all like to wear. They were very feminist, as well. I try to do my best to bring a lot of feminism in the sexuality of those ladies by giving them things we could wear ourselves. I don't mind a show-stopper dress, but it was something that they would have liked to wear and that they were not wearing because it was a man watching them."
