THE SQUAW VALLEY PROM:
DRESSING THE PART FOR A 007 THEME

In case you haven't heard, this year's theme of the Squaw Valley Prom on February 26, is 007 aka Bond...James Bond. To qualify in one of the best dressed categories for the event, be sure to dress the part as either James Bond, a Bond Babe, or one of James Bond's villains.

Not sure who you want to be? Here are a few suggestions from Dress The Party:

Dressing the part of James Bond:
Even though there are decades of Bond looks from over 20 films to choose, everyone knows this secret agent is also a dashing debonair. Apart from attending formal events in a tuxedo, James Bond has also been seen skiing the slopes, scuba diving, and wearing monochrome leisure outfits. Bond lookalikes will be sure to wear some of the following:
Tuxedos (Black or white, modern or vintage)
Ski suits (Although there are 5 movies to get your ski looks from, he's unforgettable in The Spy Who Loved Me wearing his yellow and red ensemble, and flying through the air in For Your Eyes Only wearing his blue racing suit with the #24)
Scuba suits (Accessories here are crucial; spear gun, knife, tanks, goggles)
Leisure wear (Orange leisure suit or try a black turtleneck with black pants)
Weapons & Gadgets (You can't be a secret agent without these!)

Dressing the part of a Bond Babe:
It wouldn't be a 007 movie without a beautiful woman by his side, and sometimes their names are just as captivating as their charms. Here are a few favorites:
Pussy Galore/Goldfinger (Plunging necklines, white or black dress suits, or a black catsuit...and a pistol, of course)
Honey Ryder/Dr. No (So, you wanna wear a vintage white bikini with a dagger on your side, just be sure to bring the giant conch shell, okay? Otherwise, you could go for her sultry white bohemian princess look by throwing a white sheet with a tiara around your head)
Bibi Dahl/For Your Eyes Only (A red snowsuit, some giant white earmuffs, and a black cowboy hat is all it takes!)
Magda/Octopussy (Go for a middle eastern belly-dancer outfit to successfully pull this look off)
Tiffany Case/Diamonds Are Forever (Red hair, a gigantic diamond, an uzi submachine gun, black gown and a white fur)

Dressing the part of a Bond Villain:
There wouldn't be a need for a 007 agent without elite criminals to kill. You might find one of these unforgettable villains at this year's Squaw Valley Prom:
Jaws/The Spy Who Loved Me (Perfect for the big and tall guys, he wears suits and ties but the real noteworthy characteristic here are his steel teeth...metal mouth guard, anyone?
Oddjob/Goldfinger (Oh, the fun you can have with this! A bowler hat with a steel rim, a black 3-piece suit, and a tobacco pipe...it wouldn't hurt to bring a cat for your sidekick entree)
Xenia Zirgavna Onatopp/Goldeneye (If you can pronounce her name all night, she has a few of the easier looks to choose from: military or sexy...an AK-47 or a cigar)
Auric Goldfinger/Goldfinger (A few different looks to choose from whether he's playing golf, lounging in a golden colored bathrobe, or in his military uniform)
Paco "Pistols" Scaramanga/The Man With The Golden Gun (A white retro tux, black tie, some fake bushy eyebrows and sideburns, and be sure to carry a golden pistol)
