But I don’t smoke really, I don’t drink really. I like Pilates, I like to swim and when I work I have to take care of what I eat a bit more because I really like to eat so at those times I’m disciplined. It’s not my character to be programmed but there are times when I do yoga. How does Bellucci maintain her famously voluptuous shape?
You’ll never see her in a pair of track pants.” In fact, the costume designer on the set of Spectre said with a hint of amusement, “I always give actresses UGG boots to go from their trailer to the set, but when I presented the UGG boots to Monica, she refused and instead walked with the 12cm Louboutins from her trailer to the set. She harks back to an old-world glamour of her Italian predecessor, Sophia Loren. When I meet Bellucci, she’s dressed in a Max Mara black pencil skirt and shirt, her hair is long and her makeup is flawless. Monica Bellucci posed for the cover of Italian Vanity Fair during both of her pregnancies. When I look at Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Catherine Deneuve, it makes me feel that things are changing. “And also, I’m not part of Hollywood, I’ve never lived there and I’ve dealt with that system. The time is changing and we look at women differently,” she says. Women are intelligent, sensitive and feminine. “In the past we only looked at women from the time that they can procreate until they can’t any longer and then they become outside of society, but that’s an old way to see women. On that subject she says, “I think each person has their own way (of dealing with ageing) and as time goes on, the beauty of youth goes away but I think there’s another kind of beauty. And on close inspection, speaking with her at London’s Corinthia Hotel, the stunning spokesmodel for L’Oreal Paris, looks nowhere near her age. Not to dampen the celebratory triumph of this new ‘forward-thinking’ 007 who has age-appropriate sex, it must be said that Bellucci is not your average 51-year-old. I wanted Bond to look at her and not immediately know who she was, because it's a surprise for him like it is for us, and it creates a moment of suspense where you slowly discover her.Finally getting it on with someone your own age Bond? That’s hot. The most important thing in the costume is the veil attached to the hat. To do that, I decided to add some mystery to the traditional black. So of course, the style was a little bit defined before we started: I had to design something demure but still oozing of sexiness. "Monica plays an Italian widow at the funeral of her husband. How did you decide what Monica Bellucci's character would wear? From that point, you can start designing and then taking into consideration the color, the situation, the decor - all the things that make up the costume." When you understand a character, it's easier to design for them because you know what the character is and, by extension, what she will wear for each situation. I was so lucky to work with Sam Mendes, who is extremely interested in the psychology of his characters. What's the first thing you do when dressing a character? We asked Temime to give us a sneak peek at the new Bond women. So, says Temime, they need much more than just languid evening dresses and sexy bathing suits. At 51, Monica Bellucci is playing the most mature James Bond woman to date, a mysterious mafia widow, and Léa Seydoux, a 30-year-old French starlet, is playing a feisty, high-powered psychologist whose father was previously Bond’s nemesis. Spectre features two seriously badass ladies in more-than-sidekick roles.
