During an appearance on the Lorraine show last month, Naomie Harris revealed that her choice for the next James Bond is Tom Hardy.

15 years after making his debut as secret agent 007 in Casino Royale, Daniel Craig is retiring from the role. Naomie reprises her role as Eve Moneypenny in No Time to Die, the twenty-fifth in the James Bond series that premiered in London on September 28.

“I think what he does is so special and technically difficult,” she said, emphasizing she’s never worked with the Venom: Let There Be Carnage actor before.

“He would make a great Bond but they always pick someone we don’t expect and is up and coming,” she added.

“I reckon it will be someone totally unexpected and their name isn’t even in the mix. But I do think Tom would be amazing and if I could pick I would choose Tom.”

We have always loved seeing the various style combinations that Naomie Harris can pull off. Somehow, the English actress manages to take unthinkable combinations and somehow makes them work.

For the red carpet of the 89th Academy Awards ceremony in February 2017, she went against the grain when it came to picking her ensemble.

Naomie arrived on the red carpet of the 2017 Academy Awards in — get this — a short dress.

In a room full of elaborate detailed gowns and trains, the then 40-year-old actress dared to wear a cocktail dress.

The actress wore a white sequined dress with a long train by American fashion designer Calvin Klein.

If it wasn’t for the train, we would have mistaken the dress for something meant to wear to the club on a Friday night, considering the garment featured a youthful sweetheart neckline and an ab cutout.

Naomie Harris wore a pair of mismatched sandals by Calvin Klein to add to the unconventional look. The actress finished the look with jewelry from Bulgari.

Naomie’s mismatched sandals were designed so that one had crystal embellishments on the ankle strap and the other had them on the toe strap. And yes, this seems to be intentional.

The actress uploaded behind-the-scenes footage of herself preparing for her first Oscars ever, starting off with a video of herself on the glam chair.

She later uploaded a photo of her almost-finished look with the caption, “It takes a village!! The Final Look!”
