Never Say Never Again / Kim Basinger as Domino Vitali
I never would have thought there was a Bond movie with a video arcade in it, but here it is.
In the original Thunderball, Domino and Bond's dance was just a short social thing, but in this semi-remake, it's a whole number. The backless, sequinned dress is pretty classic right up to the shoulders, and then it suddenly goes whackadoodle with that asymmetrical collar and the candy-cane spiral of ribbon down her left arm. What bugs me is that the collar and sleeve elements are a pale cream color as opposed to the ivory of the rest of the dress. Makes me wonder if they were added later.
The more I study the costumes for this movie, the more I realize how quirky they are.

Never Say Never Again / Barbara Carrera as Fatima Blush
I don't quite know what to make of this outfit, but it's certainly something! It's all over the place and also over the top, from the extravagant and shapeless fur to the black leather pants and jacket. The almost masculine tailored shirt with the choker around the collar is so 1980s.
But it is true that the whole thing is elevated by a suitable hat; she loses about ten style points in my eyes as soon as she takes the hat off.
