On Her Majesty's Secret Service / Dame Diana Rigg as Teresa "Tracy" Draco / di Vincenzo / Bond
I considered featuring this outfit for the month of weddings in June, but I had never seen the movie, and I didn't manage to get around to it at the time. I finally watched it this month, and I cannot disagree with those who say Tracy is among the best "Bond girls" ever.
The lacy pantsuit with sheer multilayered robe over it was a bold choice for a wedding in 1969, and it remains so now; but of course, Diana Rigg pulls it off effortlessly. It was designed by Marjory Cornelius.
The ring, designed by Charles de Temple, is also interesting (see below). Two were made for the film, and one of them sold for over 50,000 pounds at an auction in 2022. The words "all the time in the world" are written around both the interior and the exterior.
that Superboy (1988-1992) has a connection with the James Bond franchise? George Lazenby, the second actor to portray 007, played Jor-El, Superboy's father. Britt Ekland, who was a "Bond girl" in The Man With the Golden Gun (1974), played his mother, Lara.
