1. Tiffany Case - Diamonds Are Forever
Quite simply the worst offender here. Not due to any major sin on the part of the actress and not due to the amount of skin shown (well, not really, but I'll explain later on). The reason this is the Bond fashion disaster to top them all is due to the fact that it's just the cherry on the icing on the cake of this pretty bad Bond movie. In the finale sequence - not including the tacked-on cruise ship liner sequence is more of a conclusion for camp villains Mr Kidd and Mr Wink - Bond and Tiffany are on an oil rig off the coast of California trying to stop uber-nemesis Blofeld from causing a global nuclear arms war and for some reason Tiffany is in a gaudy red and purple bikini... thing. It's not even a full-on bikini, it's a bikini with sleeves which is interesting to say the least. This bizzare and unnecessary fashion choice aside, there's also a completely superfluous and kind of creepy vibe around the whole outfit - there's a lot of inappropriate slapping and groping of poor Jill St John's behind and the cassette tape which will save the world (which is one part of a sentence I thought I'd never utter) ends up tucked into the bikini bottoms for a half-hearted attempt at a screwball comedy twist which feels just off admist the action. This weird fashion statement is ironically one of the few pieces of bizarre Bond fashion that serves a strange purpose - Tiffany, a character who is so used to looking forward to the next con is forced to use what's behind her (literally) to save the world and even though this fails, she still has to go through with it. It's also a strange, awful piece of fashion which while proving completely useless and pure exploitation. Thankfully it's all behind us... or so we hope.
