James Bond Casino Royale

Casino Royale was the Bond “re-boot”. It was released in 2006 and was the 21st movie of the ever popular series. It starred Daniel Craig as a more rugged and angry Bond and the film benefited from much more realistic action sequences. It did extremely well at the box office and is considered one of the finest of all the Bond films. The plot featured Bond’s first ever mission as he tries to stop Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) winning a high stakes poker tournament in Montenegro.

The movie is centred around the titular casino and a high stakes game of poker with James Bond Le Chiffre. Bond is being financed in this endeavour by the British Government with the direct assistance of treasury agent Vesper Lynd, played by Eva Green. Bond decides to use the charms of the lovely agent as part of his strategy in the game.

This is the breath taking evening dress carefully selected by 007 and given to Vesper with the sole intention of distracting the patrons of the casino. It works to devastating effect. It can be seen on screen for a significant portion of the movie including the casino scenes, the fight in the hallway and stairwell, culminating in the memorable scene in the shower. The dress also featured in much of the publicity for the film.

The stunning gown was specially designed and made for Eva Green by legendary fashion designer Roberto Cavelli, the tight, figure hugging dress features plunging neckline decorated to the edges with diamanté stones. The halter neck is ruched under the bust line and gathered to the centre. A spectacular outfit, almost as beautiful as the gorgeous actress who wore it. This costume was originally donated by EON Productions for a charity auction. It now resides in the London offices of Propstore.
