The night will be long for the timeless glamour of Bond girls. Perhaps we should remind you of some iconic moments that define the ideal style for these special moments.

The list of the most iconic Bond girl outfits always resurfaces, with new modern or classic versions. They are always chic and always timely.

Do you remember the stunning classic black long dress worn by Eva Green, with a low neckline and wide criss-cross straps at the back by Versace in Casino Royale? It was unforgettable, complemented by a long statement necklace and matching earrings. In the same movie, Caterina Murino portrayed Solange, one of the two Bond girls in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale opposite Daniel Craig. She became an iconic figure with her sexy pomegranate silk dress featuring a plunging neckline, narrow shoulder straps, and a classic flowing bottom that brought back the Italian mentality.

Who can forget the seductive Bond girl Madeleine Swann, played by Léa Seydoux in Spectre opposite Daniel Craig, when she wore a beautiful satin dusty-green floor-length gown?

If you’d like to feel like a Bond girl for a night, look for clever details like lace, sequins, or a high slit. Try something inspired by art, like a gown that evokes a priceless artwork. Use sheer fabrics with a sensual vibe. Don’t forget black for a glamorous yet daring look. Be a spy of emotions and embrace the magical power of the night with an evening gown that channels the essence of Bond girls. Opt for a floor-length gown in rich colors like emerald green, royal blue, or deep burgundy.

For this year’s celebrations, wear the Bond vibe like a second skin. James Bond!

Interviews :

Mathilde Charuet

1. Remember a moment when you were a kid and you were striking poses and you understood that you will be a model.

I remember every year when we decorated the Christmas tree with my parents and my brother, I loved putting on my best outfit and posing in front of the tree once the decorations were finished.

2. When you had your first collaboration. What you remember from the first day you had with them!

It wasn’t my very first collaboration, but it really left an impression on me. Five years ago, in Riyadh, a princess wanted to organize a fashion show. There were around forty models—it was huge. It stayed with me because it was the first show in the country’s history where women weren’t veiled.

3. During the years you had many important collaborations. Who was the designer that you will never forget and why?

A shoot I will never forget was with the videographer of YSL’s La Nuit de l’Homme. A winter night under the Alexandre III bridge, wearing a silk dress with a wet-hair look. By the end, I couldn’t feel my body anymore, but the video is stunning, and I have no regrets, not even the cold I caught afterward.

4. You were the woman for Galliano ‘s campaign. Tell us more about your opinion about him and the backstages of all this.

It was a true honor to work for a fashion virtuoso like him, with such a remarkable journey, an exceptional designer of his era. The backstage experience was amazing—we shot in an apartment with a rooftop terrace that offered a magnificent view of the Seine.

5. You had the luck to work with the legend of the Fashion Karl Lagerfeld. How was the experience as he was always so demanding. What do you believe you learnt from this collaboration.

Meeting Karl was incredible . He was very strict but at the same time makes you feel very special . And working with someone so perfectionist and who knows exactly in detail what he wants , all this without stress gives you a real lesson of life and work .

I love this sentence of him : “Do what makes you happy. Forget about the money and other pastries that are usually considered to be a success. If you are happy working in a farm store, do it. Remember that we only have one life.” – Karl Lagerfeld

I try to follow this philosophy in my everyday life !

6. You were the ideal girl for Lanvin and Eliee Saab too. We would like to learn more about it.

Like with Lanvin, Elie Saab was one of my most beautiful collaborations. When I arrived at the casting, Elie loved my bangs. He changed the whole look of the show, so all the girls wore fake bangs, and I was the only one with real bangs. His collections are truly dreamy!

7. What is your Favorite brand ?

My favorite designer, I would say, is Alaïa for his sense of detail and perfectionism. His cutting techniques and unique creations revolutionized fashion while staying true to his values. He worked outside the imposed fashion calendar, choosing to present his collections at his own pace. A creator who does things his way—I love it.

I also adore Léna Erziak, a strong woman who creates bold, exuberant, and impactful collections. I’m also in love with Sandra J bags—they’re so chic and fun! Recently, I’ve come across Inclover, a brand from Kazakhstan, that creates collections both wearable and very exclusive.

8. What do you propose as ideal outfit for the days of celebration that soon will come?

I love tights; I wait for the autumn season just for them. Lace tights are my current favorite. A little black dress to balance it, and voilà!

9. How you keep yourself strong and beautiful when you are so busy?

Sleep is key for me; I sleep at least 8-9 hours. Then, good hydration through proper skincare and drinking 2 liters of water a day. My little favorite is a device that diffuses light with micro-frequencies to help drain signs of fatigue that settle on the face.

10. You are one of the women who believe that the diamonds are girls best friends? Your campaign for Boucheron speak loud for this….

It was very impressive. It was one of my first jobs. There was an entire team solely dedicated to the jewelry, transporting it on velvet trays. I couldn’t touch the jewelry myself, and the person putting it on me only handled it with gloves. When I wore the jewelry, I was closely followed by two bodyguards, and even to take a restroom break, I had to return it first.

Tell us about this cover shooting

I love working with photographer Greg Alexander and the real of Mephistopheles Productions . They know how to show the best of our personality ! They are creative and at the same time very human. We feel to work in family !

And for this shooting they choose a amazing place : Maison Villeroy !

Maison Villeroy is a secret gem, the kind that we shape and polish with passion every single day. It is a home that welcomes its guests and members with kindness and sincerity. With 11 apartments, suites and rooms, each guest has the delicious feeling of making this breathtaking place their own – accompanied by an attentive team of butlers.

Striking cast iron gilt railings edge the main staircase where a majestic chandelier inspired by Atelier Alain Ellouz’ BOTERO reaches 55 feet in height. Poetic and elegant, this composition, which consists of 40 alabaster globes attached to a pole, is as bold as it is unique.

12.what are you next plans ?

Next big appointement is of course the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week of January ! I have also a lot of acting proposals , since Cannes Film Festival of last year !

Tell us a quote that inspired you but also it succinctly describes who you are, your essence!

Be yourself and act without fear !

Vladislav de Gallery de la Servière

Describe yourself in 10 words

1/ I am someone who is smiling and open-minded.

• How did you start modeling?

2/ I was recruited at a music festival with my friends, without knowing how to break into the industry.

• What was your first paid job?

3/ My first paid job was for the brand MX Paris.

• What has been your most important job so far?

4/ The most important and iconic job in my career was the photoshoot for L’Officiel magazine. The team and the photos were incredible.

• What does fashion mean to you?

5/ For me, fashion is primarily elegance and embodied beauty. It’s young creators expressing their beauty through clothes or photoshoots.

• Your daily beauty routine?

6/ My daily beauty routine is mainly about the clothes we wear. That means being elegant, a gentleman, and standing out from the crowd.

• Your future projects?

7/ My future projects in this field are to make it a career, because we live in a world that no longer truly appreciates beauty.

Lucas Martin

• How did you get started in modeling?

What an adventure! At first, it was by chance—or rather, by luck.

I began my career with my first shoot as an actor a year and a half ago. It was a big 3-day advertising shoot. I was lucky enough to be spotted by the director. It was an incredible experience and the spark for everything that followed. I will be forever grateful to him, and to this day, our collaboration continues. After that, things quickly fell into place. Encouraged by that first experience and by those around me, I decided to venture into modeling alongside my career as a real estate agent. I began building my portfolio and applying for castings, both as a model and an actor. I still laugh about it today—“a guy from Montpellier in Paris.” Eventually, I landed my first job: a photoshoot for a suit brand in collaboration with a wedding planner. So, I went up to Paris for the shoot, which, I should mention, was unpaid. But it was an investment I don’t regret. I have great memories of this first modeling experience. The people were incredibly kind, and I met professionals passionate about their work, which was very inspiring. At the end of the shoot, I was really happy. Being encouraged by professionals pushed me to continue modeling. A few weeks later, I received the photos and videos from the shoot, and that’s when I was able to start building my portfolio and demo reel. From there, things just kept falling into place for my greatest happiness.

• What was your first paid job?

Well, actually, I got my first paid job following that first unpaid shoot.

I used my first photos to reach out to photographers, stylists, and even clothing brands, all through Instagram.

In a way, I did some prospecting, just like I did in my real estate job.

That’s how I got in touch with a collaborator from the suit brand Kigili Elegance. We arranged all the details and set a date for a shoot in the summer of 2023. And again, what luck! My first paid shoot took place at Lake Como in Italy.

I don’t need to tell you how long it took for me to realize it was real. It was an absolute shock! The setting, the dozens of photographers, the makeup artists, the florists… it was just unreal!

• What has been your most important job so far?

The most important job I’ve had so far was with L’Oréal.

But I must say, my biggest achievement to date is being featured in the amazing magazine L’Officiel.

• What does fashion mean to you?

For me, fashion is something elegant and timeless. I don’t like the term “being fashionable,” and I’m not one to follow trends.

For me, the most important thing is to have a personal style that enhances who we are.

I don’t follow any “fashion criteria” and I want to please my collaborators just the way I am today.

Therefore, I hope to convey that every profile is unique, and we should embrace the qualities that make us different.

• Your daily beauty routine?

I do a lot of sports because it’s vital for me and the cornerstone of my daily balance.

I take care of my appearance, but without becoming obsessed with it. I also make sure to keep my skin well-hydrated.

• Your future projects?

My work makes me happy, and I want to develop it as much as possible and make it sustainable.

I would also love to focus more on acting.

Right now, I have to juggle multiple activities to keep modeling as my main profession, but that’s part of this wonderful challenge.

I am already extremely grateful for each experience I’ve had, and I enjoy every job as if it were my last.

Rémi Chavigny

Describe yourself in 10 words

Hello, my name is Rémi. I am 23 years old, I enjoy playing ice hockey, it’s my favorite sport. I also work in a pet store and, besides that, I am a model.

• How did you start modeling?

It all started one evening when I watched a documentary on fashion. I really loved it, so a few days later I contacted a friend, artistic director, and photographer, Christophe Thavixay, to tell him I wanted to start in the industry. I went to his place, and we did a shoot all night. Despite the fatigue, the photos were really high-quality. Later, I applied and joined some agencies and did lots of shoots. But it took me a long time to get to this point; I had to learn a lot about fashion and my mistakes.

• What was your first paid job?

My first paid job was for the Courier brand, with whom I shot in winter 2023.

• What was your most important job so far?

My most important job was in Spain, in Calpe, at the Muralla Roja for 5 days. It was 5 days of intense shooting with an incredible team. I have only great memories from that experience. If I had to do it again, I would do it in a heartbeat.

• What is fashion for you?

Being fashionable means knowing how to adapt to an outfit that is different from others without being criticized.

• Your daily beauty routine

In my morning routine, I start by wetting and styling my hair, then finish by cleaning my face. In the evening, I shower, clean my face, shave, and then apply a honey-thyme mask. I use very few products on my skin, only the really necessary ones.

• Your future plans?

My future plan is to go abroad as a model to discover new horizons.

Maxence Clergot

• Describe yourself in 10 words

A dreamer who believes in destiny, not in fate.

• How did you start modeling?

I started modeling when I was 16. I once accompanied my brother to a casting, and the agency that organized it spotted me.

• What was your first paid job?

My first job was for an independent brand in London. It lasted 4 days, and it was amazing!

• What was your most important job so far?

The most important job for me so far was the show for Asics. It may not have been significant in my modeling career, but it was important for me personally. It was my first show ever, and it was for the Olympic Games in China. I was really shocked that I was part of this event and this production.

• What is fashion for you?

Fashion, for me, is a mentality. Actually, I’m not sure everyone can understand it, even if they appear to.

• Your daily beauty routine

My daily beauty routine is the easiest: a big salted breakfast, a shower, shaving my beard if I have a job, applying lots of cream, and then I’m ready in about 1.5 hours!

• Your future plans?

My future plans are to try to be free in my life. I’ve started a podcast and created my own business. So, my plan is to stay focused and motivated!

Thibaut Morel

Describe yourself in 10 words:

Authentic, passionate, loyal, good-humored, disciplined, romantic, early riser, adventurer.

How did you start modeling?

I started modeling by participating in a modeling contest.

What was your first paid job?

My first paid job was for Aigle.

What was your most important job so far?

All jobs are important in my opinion, but if I have to choose one, it would be the worldwide campaign for the Italian furniture brand Natuzzi.

What is fashion for you?

Fashion is a form of authentic and natural self-expression, where I favor a personal and spontaneous style. It’s connected to my travels and experiences, reflecting a blend of comfort, aesthetics, and freedom. It’s more than just following trends.

Your daily beauty routine:

Face wash with original Savon de Marseille and a good moisturizing cream.

Your future plans?

Continuing modeling in Paris as much as I can, and when the time comes to stop, I’ll start a business as a chef because I’m very passionate about cooking (my Instagram: @thibofourneaux).
