“It Makes Me Feel Like A Million Dollars”: Naomie Harris On Her Memorable Michael Kors 007 Premiere Look
Naomie Harris has had some time to consider what to wear to the Bondtastic premiere of No Time To Die. Several agonizing pandemic-induced postponements later, Daniel Craig’s last 007 film is finally hitting cinemas and the British actor who plays Miss Moneypenny is raring to go.
“I’ve always thought of myself as someone more comfortable in casual attire, but one of the many surprising things I learnt about myself during the pandemic was that I love dressing up!” Harris tells Vogue on premiere day. “I think we’ve all been secretly living in our dressing gowns, so it’s great to now be out, dressing up and enjoying the world... and even walking the red carpet.”
Harris frosted her look with Ana Khouri jewellery and an Omega watch, with Jimmy Choo shoes to dial up the drama.

For her turn in the spotlight, there was only one designer she trusted to make her a dress synonymous with the dynamism and mystique of the 007 franchise: Michael Kors. “The classic silhouettes and sophisticated elegance that Michael Kors is known for worldwide are a perfect marriage with the ultra high-end glamour of the Bond world,” notes Naomie. The pearlescent hand-beaded, sequin-studded look is as exquisite as the fashion in the films and, she says, it “makes [her] feel like a million dollars”.

It turns out that Moneypenny also has a penchant for Michael’s fashion. “We share a love of traditional style combined with [contemporary], quirky elements,” says Harris, who has helped modernise the straight-talking private secretary since taking on the role in 2012’s Skyfall. “The MK Bancroft handbag [which Moneypenny carries] is the perfect embodiment of that mixture of classic elegance and a bit of edge.”

It was a rite of passage, then, to swing by the Michael Kors Regent Street store ahead of the Leicester Square showcase to pick up a shiny new Bancroft and mark the moment. Wearing a slinky, sparkly white twin set, Harris set the tone of what was to come at the landmark premiere: a kick-ass red-carpet look both power females would be proud of.
