    There's something about Sanchez, the de jure ruler of his own personal kingdom, wearing a pink shirt.

    Very clever, indeed.

    Best dressed, though? I think not.

    In a classic "the actors in the Academy vote for the film with the best acting"-move, as a massive Skyfall fan, I have to vote for Silva, although I have a different outfit in mind than the one mentioned in the nomination.
    Since he only has four I can remember and two of those are funtional (prisoner jumpsuit and police uniform), the outfit of choice is his island outfit. Olive trousers and waistcoat, insane patterned Prada shirt (mostly covered by the waistcoat) and a perfectly tailored cream jacket. It all fits and it fits together for a look that both works for the location as well as the character. He looks beautiful, but crazy.

    I once dressed as Scaramanga, well, sort of. White linen suit with a black tie. Made me feel as villainous as ever. Better than an all dark tuxedo, Le Chiffre style.

    Silva certainly dresses the part.

    A bit like Charles Gray's Blofeld.

    Time to revive this old thread and have some renewed awards along with some new ones. Hard to believe we have been quiet here for a year.

    First bit of business to those who are new here, we will have a category and the academy will get five nominees. You will then select who deserves the Bondy (good trophy) or a Klebbie (bad trophy). You can take it seriously write in detail why you chose your vote or merely state your selection. After a bit of time I will tally up our results and voila an award to be handed out.

    Now to finish off our year of voting! LOL!

    The Klebbie for "good idea, bad execution" the award goes to....turning Japanese from YOLT this nomination received 8 votes from the academy.

    Other nominees included 4 votes for killing off Bond in NTTD, female antagonist received 1 vote and a couple of write in votes for the character of Sacramanga from TMWTGG.

    On to our next award and for this one we are turning to a Bondy! As Bond is known as a fashion plate, so too have the evil villains looking to end him. So lets celebrate the best dressed Bond villain.

    The nominees are:
    • Francisco Scaramanga (The Man with the Golden Gun, 1974)
      Signature Look: Pristine, ivory‑white dinner jacket with black bow tie.
      Style Notes: Every element is razor‑sharp—just like his marksmanship. The white suit sets him apart as a meticulous professional who moves in the world like a ghost, while the gold accents (cufflinks, pistol grip, even his tie pin) signal both his lethal precision and obsession with luxury.
    • Le Chiffre (Casino Royale, 2006)
      Signature Look: Dark three‑piece suits with subtle pinstripes or micro‑checks, perfectly pressed shirts, and slim ties.
      Style Notes: A high‑stakes gambler needs clothing that conveys quiet power and control. His muted palettes speak to a man who hides pain behind a mask of elegance, while impeccably tailored shoulders and narrow lapels echo his poker‑faced precision at the table.
    • Auric Goldfinger (Goldfinger, 1964)
      Signature Look: Sharp, timeless cuts echo his obsession with gold and perfection, while golf attire ties directly to his most iconic scenes.
      Style Notes: Tailored brown flannel suits, crisp white shirts, and slender black ties—plus his trademark golf ensembles: argyle sweaters over slacks and flat caps. Classic 1960s “corporate tycoon” style conveys both wealth and authority.
    • Raoul Silva (Skyfall, 2012)
      Signature Look: Sleek, charcoal wool overcoat worn over black tactical knitwear. gloves.
      Style Notes: Silva’s wardrobe fuses high‑fashion minimalism with avant‑garde edge. The overcoat’s clean lines and dark shades underscore his controlled menace, a perfect mirror of his tech‑terrorist persona.
    • Ernst Stavro Blofeld (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, 1969 & various incarnations)
      Signature Look: Simple, tailored turtleneck or Nehru‑collar jacket—often in muted tones like charcoal or slate.
      Style Notes: Understated but unmistakable, Blofeld’s minimalist silhouettes convey supreme authority and unflappable composure. The high collars cocoon his character in secrecy, while the monochrome palette echoes his monolithic, single‑minded pursuit of power.

    Who are you awarding best dressed to, feel free to write in votes for your favourite if they aren't here with the top five.

    Now there's a difficult choice to make. But I think I'll go for Ernst Stavro Blofeld, in OHMSS. Not only have I come to appreciate the turtleneck a lot more the last few years, but the Nehru suit, next to definately making him look calm and powerful, is a nice contrast in the Swiss mountains, to the warm tropics it is most affilliated with.

    I'll write in Kamal Khan. He looks immaculate in every scene. During the dinner sequence he looks like he could even be Bond.

    I absolutely love Louis Jordan in Octopussy! The sound of his voice is as seductive as Connery's and that is saying something! The way he says Octopussy also puts a wry smile on my face as well as a giggle! ;))
