For the elusive Safin, played by Rami Malek, costume designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb created this custom piece to assert the character’s confidence and self-assurance as the film’s main villain. The trousers in this costume include a small brass detail where Safin attaches his toxic vial intended for James Bond. This is one of four 'hanten'costumes worn by Rami Malek whilst filming No Time To Die, 2021, the others retained by the EON Archive.
