![]() ![]() Dr Evil wears grey because Appel wanted Dr Evil’s world to be devoid of colour to contrast with Austin’s vivid world. Dr Evil wears grey whilst Dr No wears beige. The colours are the only notable difference. Both Dr Evil’s and Dr No’s Nehru jackets have fly fronts with short double vents at the sides, and both wear white socks and white shoes with their outfits. Telly Savalas’ Blofeld had worn a Styrian with a similar stand-up collar in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. The most notable difference lies in the collar: the Mao jacket has a folded collar while the Nehru jacket has a stand-up collar. Blofeld’s famous suit is the Mao suit rather than the Nehru suit, and Dr Evil and Dr No both wear the later. While Dr Evil’s bald and scarred head is reminiscent of Donald Pleasence’s Blofeld in You Only Live Twice, his clothes more closely resemble the most famous evil doctor of the Bond films: Dr No from the film of the same name. It meshes perfectly with Austin’s flashy style. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is the only Bond film that touches on the flamboyant late 1960s fashions that Austin Powers ran with. Mike is Scottish and so I think that’s what was in his in mind, and I think George Harrison had a bit of that going on at some point in his life. I think that George Lazenby wore something at some point. Imagine a smoking jacket and a shirt, and a cravat that would be a fold-over scarf that’s tucked into the shirt. Appel clarified that the accessory is not a cravat either:Ī cravat is more of a scarf you would wear. It’s attached to the shirt, but it is not part of the shirt. So it’s not even a part of James Bond’s own look. There is, however, one item from Austin Powers’ iconic look that came from James Bond: the lace jabot that is part of Bond’s Scottish Highland dress disguise as Sir Hilary Bray in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Austin Powers (Mike Myers)Īustin Powers’ own costumes are primarily inspired by the Peacock Revolution and by 1960s rock star style rather than by James Bond’s. ![]() Though Austin Powers himself is not a parody of the James Bond character, apart from his insatiable sex drive, many of the costumes in the series can be directly compared to costumes in the Bond series from the 1960s. Appel watched the Bond films to prepare for costuming these films, and her preparation shows. The discussion of the costumes brought up the inevitable comparisons with the Bond films. The three films include Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) and Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). The costumes are some of the most iconic to ever appear in film, and they brought a certain type of 1960s style back to the mainstream fashion of the late 1990s and early 2000s.įor the From Tailors with Love podcast, I joined Peter Brooker and BAMF Style‘s Nick Guzan to speak with the costume designer of all three Austin Powers films Deena Appel about the costumes. Son faces a maximum sentence of 275 years to life if convicted.The Austin Powers series is the most culturally impactful of the James Bond spoofs to date, and it’s one that took on a life of its own far beyond Bond. Son has been charged with five felony counts of rape, two felony counts of forcible sodomy, two felony counts of sodomy in concert by force, seven felony counts of forcible oral copulation, and one felony count of sexual penetration by foreign object by force. Investigators ran his sample and found Son’s DNA connected him to an unsolved gang rape back in 1990, where a woman was pistol-whipped, raped, threatened with death and eventually blindfolded and released naked. The plea required him to fork over a DNA sample. Son pleaded guilty back in May to felony vandalism. Joe Son’s arrest has been all over newspapers in the O.C., but no one connected the dots - that the suspect is actually Dr. TMZ has learned the actor who played Random Task in the first “Austin Powers” movie has been charged with a vicious gang rape. Well it turns out that the guy who played Random Task, Joe Son, is a bad guy in real life too.Ī really bad guy, actually he makes Dr. Remember in the first Austin Powers movie, that Asian henchman who cracked his neck then hit Austin in the head with a shoe, and then Austin attacked him with a penis pump? (Video below) Wow, this is pretty crazy and definitely not something you hear a lot of among actors in Hollywood. ![]()
