Bouquet Beauty

A photo call in DC finds Harris in a fab frock with pastel plaid patterns covered in floral applique’s. It’s a bit Springy, but we don’t mind that one bit.

Crown Jewel

Harris has never been the conventional fashion type on the carpet, and her recent New York premiere solidified that when the actress boldly donned a jewel-toned printed, mesh Valentino dress with matching Louboutin pumps and a sleek Jimmy Choo clutch.

White Splendor

From runway to red carpet, Harris takes Oscar de La Renta’s Spring 2014 crochet dress and sports it tastefully at the Hollywood Mandela premiere, along with de La Renta’s dangling sea blue earrings and powder blue sandals.

Blue Away

Harris keeps the hot looks rolling out on the red carpet, especially this lovely blue Vionnet silk-tulle number with subtle cut-outs at the Mandela Hollywood premiere. A perfectly sexy nod to old-Hollywood style.

Bronze Metal

At The Toronto Film Festival, the Brit bombshell was cocktail-chic in a cut-out crystallized Burberry dress (similar to the longer style previously worn) complete with a bronze Smythson envelope clutch and matching Jimmy Choo pumps.

Sweet & Simple

Calvin Klein looks killer on Naomie Harris, especially this cream midi style at The 66th Cannes Film Festival. The designer’s sleek and simple aesthic works perfectly on her petite frame.

Tantalizing Teal

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. And if that means dressing in Italian designers Dolce & Gabbana’s drop dead gorgeous, teal floor-length gown, we support it by all means! We’re certain the actress made fans in Italy proud at this Skyfall premiere.

Spanish Fly

Harris looked flawless in a frock straight off Lanvin’s Fall 2012 runway during the film’s photocall in Madrid, Spain. If the plunging neckline isn’t enough to get you excited, the dress’ metal neck detail and fierce lion belt should definitely do the job.

Home Sweet Home

In her hometown, the actress sported the designs of a fellow Brit: Marios Schwab. This Spring 2012 look –– a nude dress with net overlay –– was one of Harris’ more demure selections, paired with simple ankle strap platforms from Nicholas Kirkwood.

Empire State

At the New York City premiere, this “Bond” babe sported another sleek Marios Schwab LBD. This time she opted for a curved yoke style with a high hemline and edgy Camila Skovgaard heels.

Royal Style

Making her rounds to the Royal Albert Hall in London, Harris stays faithful to designer Marios Schwab in yet another one of his creations. This Spring 2012 metallic bodice design with sheer overlay is her most daring red carpet look to date.

Parisian Chic

Harris went for a heavenly Chanel style and Pierre Hardy heels for the film’s photocall at The Dorchester Hotel in London. This textured knit, billowy sleeved dress was a nice departure from the red carpet gowns.
