My first celebrity crush


I first saw her in Charlie's Angels when I was about seven or eight years old (born in '95). The scene I remember most is when all the angels are at the race track dressed in pit crew outfits and Drew's character gets into a parked car to distract the driver. I was just attracted her attitude and how hot she looked. I think she's still very beautiful.

#2. Dylan’s Race Car Mechanic
On the opposite end of the sexy spectrum is Dylan’s Farrah Fawcett homage, replete with a jumpsuit and a wig straight out of a Halston catalog. Like Dylan herself, the outfit is perfectly brazen—a welcome foil to Alex’s more reserved style, or Natalie’s “girl next door” appeal. Rewatching this scene, I was shocked that her breasts didn’t jump clear out of that dangerously low-cut jumpsuit. And the fact that the film’s costume designers managed to hide the large quantity of boob tape underneath this jumpsuit warranted, at the least, an Oscar nomination. As for its function in the scene, I couldn’t imagine a better outfit for distracting an evil genius’ henchman than this.

I’d also like to draw attention to the colorways at work in this outfit: the red lip matches the trip on the jumpsuit and her nail polish. (The glasses are slightly more obvious.)

Drew Barrymore in Charlie's Angels (2000)
When Drew entered the car in a zipped-down tracksuit and distracted the clueless chauffeur by slowly licking the steering wheel...well, safe to say it was etched in our memories forever. Blondes indeed have more fun.

Come see Drew Barrymore lick a steering wheel while flaunting her death-drop cleavage in an unzipped-to-the-waist race-car jumpsuit!

Dylan shows a great deal of cleavage while dressed in an auto racing jump suit that's zipped down quite a ways in the front (she isn't wearing a shirt). She then tries to distract a limo driver by stating that it's "hot"

The three writers credited to Charlie’s Angels were all men. That explains the awkward, inhuman flirting from the women and the uncomfortable fetishism. That’s peaked in Charlie’s Angels when Lucy Liu dresses as a dominatrix teacher, whipping the air in front of computer programmers. Drew Barrymore unzips her pit gear at an F1 track. Cameron Diaz dresses in a skin-tight body suit to infiltrate a high-grade security system.

Consider the wasted cast to further pile on this dud. Bill Murray, Sam Rockwell, Tim Curry, Crispin Glover; it’s stacked. Rather than utilizing them in memorable ways, Charlie’s Angels instead finds a method to expose cleavage, turning men into easily manipulated, melting rubber. Effectively, the story goes if women use their bodies – not smarts or brawn or class – they can do anything. Much as the trio DO use their kicks, each is backed (or started) by suggestive poses or close-ups.

In one of many joyously over-the-top undercover scenes in the impish big screen adaptation of "Charlie's Angels," Drew Barrymore -- incognito as part of a sexbomb race track pit crew clad in cleavage-flaunting stars-and-stripes leather jumpsuits -- distracts a bad guy's chauffeur by seductively licking the steering wheel of his car.

The way Barrymore embraces the preposterousness of this moment with giddy aplomb personifies the spirit of this comedically sexy, digitally enhanced, candy-colored, B-movie mock-exploitation romp.

The Angels 2000 homage adds to the fromage. While paying tribute to "Hellride," the very first episode of Charlie's Angels, Drew Barrymore wears a pit-stop jumpsuit open to her bellybutton. She's not sleazy, though. Oh, no. Not an Angel. She only wears her jumpsuit open, exposing her pert bosoms, in order to distract a limo driver. He's bad, and she's good.

Drew Barrymore - Charlie's Angels (2000)

Does Charlie’s Angels cater directly the male gaze? Absolutely. You can take your pick of any number of scenes seemingly designed to make men squirm in their seats. The one that stands out involves Dylan, Alex, and Natalie at the race-track, their jumpsuit zippers pulled down to their navels as they “work” on their car. But what makes Charlie’s Angels interesting is that even while catering to men’s desires, it mercilessly mocks them. Immediately following that jumpsuit scene is one in which Dylan distracts a driver by literally tonguing his steering wheel so he won’t notice that Alex is in back bugging the vehicle. It’s a move that so parodies what men find sexy that it becomes strangely empowering.
