Timeless - Boston's Biggest New Year’s Eve 2018 Gala

SYNERGY Event’s Timeless Boston New Year’s Eve 2017 - 2018 Bash is quickly approaching, and in just two days you can experience the life of a Bond Girl. Vesper Lynd, from Casino Royale, was the sultry vixen with remarkable taste. With just a few sartorial transformations, the Vesper in all of us can emerge.

Vesper Lynd’s famous casino entrance entranced us all. A low-cut dress is an easy way to interpret her look while maintaining a trendy style. The Scala P17052 Prom Evening Dress in Plum at NewYorkDress.com for $258 is a close replica of Vesper’s famed gown. 

With a gorgeous deep purple tone and jeweled accents on the front and back, it creates a mysterious yet sophisticated aura. For a more casual take, a basic dress with a surprising low-cut back works. Silence & Noise’s Crepe V-Back Dress in black for $68 on UrbanOutfitters.com is the perfect option.

The dress, made from crepe, a material that can survive through all seasons, is the perfect piece to take you from daytime to nighttime with quick alterations. For a dress so simple, jewelry should absolutely be utilized to truly get Vesper’s va-va-voom. 

Vesper’s Algerian Love Knot necklace can be found at any fashion store, or perhaps even your jewelry box at home. The classic style is revamped season after season and is a great buy to use for years to come. Amazon.com has exact replicas of Vesper’s coveted necklace; the Algerian Love Knot Sterling Silver Bond Girl Necklace ($62) is a beautiful way to dress up your neck. 

Intricacies adorning the knot tied around three silver chains creates a foreign allure. Lauren by Ralph Lauren’s 3 Row Braided Knot Necklace (17”) in Silver at Bloomingdale’s for $68 is another chic way to vamp up your LBD. 

With so many differing varieties of the knot necklace, it is easy to let your personal preference shine through. Do not be afraid to go a little out of your comfort zone with a bold piece. 

Vesper’s make-up is also bold by playing up her two strongest features; her eyes and her lips, outlined in smudgy black liner and colored in with creamy crimson lipstick respectively. To achieve her sultry eyes, a black eyeliner with a smudger tip should be used. Victoria’s Secret VS Makeup Eye Liner in Black Velvet, a soft black, or Extreme Black, a rich black, can be used. 

Simply outline the top and bottom lashes then smudge using the smudger tip. The lines should be blended to create a soft outline around the eyes. To finish, apply your favorite mascara. Red-siren lips are a bit harder to get; they require a little practice and some precision. First, a lip liner closest to the color of your lipstick should be applied as an outline of the natural shape of your lips. NARS Lipliner Pencil in Jungle Red for $20 at Sephora is a great option that will not bleed. A ring of lipliner is essential to ensure that the lipstick will not smudge throughout the night; a true Bond Girl would never have an inch of makeup out of place. 

After the outline is complete, fill in your lips with the lipliner so the color will stay bright while still remaining in the lines. Next is a classic red lipstick. A cult classic is Yves Saint Laurent’s ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15  in 17 Red Temptation, $34 at Sephora which creates a bold pigment while moisturizing your pout.

Be sure to bring the lip color you choose to wear with you in case any touch-ups are needed.

And there you have it, Vesper Lynd’s style secrets shared with you for a night to remember. Do not forget to remain confident and poised in this sexy look; Vesper wouldn’t have it any other way.
