James Bond legend slips back into iconic tuxedo on suave night out
Leaving us shaken and stirred.
Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan left us feeling both shaken and stirred as he attended a formal event on Tuesday night in a 007-style tuxedo.
The 71-year-old looked as dapper as ever arriving among the star-studded guests for the Dunhill & Bafta film makers dinner, held in celebration of Bafta Elevate at Bourdon House, London.
He paired a crisp white dinner shirt with a waistcoat and watchchain, and a white handkerchief in the pocket of his classic black dinner jacket, expertly tailored and worn with matching trousers.
GoldenEye star Pierce, of course, also modelled a neatly-done navy bowtie and shiny black shoes.
The actor also opted to add a little bit of extra flare to his outfit (naturally a Dunhill one) with a pair of tinted aviator-style glasses.
Brosnan has always looked at home in black tie, thanks to the numerous tuxedos he wore as one of Bond’s most dependable looks across four films as the suave spy.

Daniel Craig took over the role from him for 2005’s Casino Royale, offering another five James Bond movies overall and concluding with No Time to Die in 2021.

The gap between Timothy Dalton’s final Bond film Licence to Kill in 1989 and Brosnan’s debut in GoldenEye was six years, four months and 14 days, and we’re currently on three years, four months and 12 days.
Woodall gave a Bond update this week for fans hoping to see him don 007’s tux and pick up his licence to kill, and it doesn’t sound promising.
