Drew Barrymore in that patriotic racing suit

This is admittedly (even if you don't care about the rest of the movie), one of the legitimately sexiest and hottest moments performed by an actress on screen:

dOc: Well, my personal preference would be the Drew Barrymore race car outfit, but...

McG: That was pretty titillating, yes.

Drew Barrymore in a blue racing suit that is unzipped down the front to show plenty of cleavage as she slips into the passenger seat of a convertible and distracts the driver with her cleavage.

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" and then suggestively licking his steering wheel.

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.

A racing track jumpsuit in red, white, and blue paired with tinted aviator sunglasses has an all-American '70s swagger that seems like it would've fit right in on the original show.

In one scene, which is bound to set male teen-age hearts aflutter, Dylan goes undercover as a race-car driver and dons a blue jumpsuit that is unzipped to the waist. And just when you think the scene could not be more risque, she bends over and sensually licks a steering wheel to distract a bad guy.

Caitlin: Drew holding whatever the fuck that tool is left me for DEAD when I first watched this. 10/10

Isha: This is the definition of sex appeal and either it's extremely hot today (it's not because I'm typing this in a freezing office) or I'm just feeling a little something for these smoking, hot Angels. Drew call me, okay? 100000/10

Michelle: This look is hella SPICY™. Like, can you even name a better pit crew? EXACTLY. 200/10

Overall rating: 100210/30

As for Drew Barrymore's fun reformed-rebel character, Dylan, Aulisi said he incorporated the actress' real-life "neo-flower-power fondness for vintage clothes" into the wardrobe. And Aulisi said he believes Barrymore's best attributes are her shoulders and neckline. So he put her in clothes with deep, plunging necklines. In one scene, which is bound to set male teenage hearts aflutter, Dylan goes undercover as a race-car driver and dons a blue jumpsuit that is unzipped to the waist. (LA TIMES)

“Angels” plays to the strengths of its actresses, as the missions usually involve one of them distracting a villain (and disarming male moviegoers’ critical lens) with their feminine wiles; for example, Dylan gives a driver an eyeful of cleavage while Alex plants tracking equipment in the trunk.

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.

http://www.digitallyobsessed.com/displaylegacy.php?ID=1033

Drew has her moments as well, particularly in a scene where she has to distract a man with her "bounteous cleavage ��" ("Oops, I've come undone!").

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.)

This is not to say that the movie version is not worthy of any praise- it's worth seeing just for moments like the one when Dylan (Barrymore), seducing a chaffer, licks the steering wheel of his Rolls Royce. But high points like that one were few are far between.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/entertainment/movies/reviews/charliesangelskempley.htm

In one case, Barrymore (the daffy one) unbuttons her blouse, slithers into a limo and licks her lips to distract the driver, while Liu (the bitchy one) sneaks something from the trunk.

34. These outfits at the racecourse are incredible. They were the epitome of sexy to past me. And now me, let’s be real.

35. There must be so many germs on that steering wheel and Drew just licked it. Ew.

The 2000 franchise shows its age when you watch it now. There is, of course, the overarching theme of women using their sexuality to achieve their own ends (flirting with men by licking a steering wheel or flipping their hair to cause distractions while on a mission). They play the system overtly and often outsmart it (or, some might say, reinforce it).

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:GAFcxEsKePsJ:https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-2000-11-03-0011030133-story.html+&cd=17&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

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

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/11/the-joy-of-charlies-angels/413953/

A shocking number of scenes revolve around girls creating sexual distractions, licking steering wheels and belly-dancing as helpless male onlookers more or less have steam shoot from their ears.

https://pagedeep.com/2019/10/01/for-your-queersideration-charlies-angels-2000-and-charlies-angels-full-throttle-2003/

2000’s Charlie’s Angels knows, very explicitly, that it exists for the male gaze. There is a scene where the girls go undercover as a racecar pit crew, and the zippers on their jumpsuits have all gotten stuck at their bellybuttons. (At one point, a steering wheel is sexually licked to distract a target.)

https://collider.com/does-charlies-angels-hold-up/

Another sees Barrymore in a wildly revealing “racing pit crew” outfit, who distracts a man by licking (!) a car’s steering wheel (!!) and making orgasm noises at the AC (!!!). The reaction shots of the man are masterclasses in cartoonishly befuddled mugging.

The Diaz, Barrymore, Liu franchise – inexplicably capped at two films – is a masterwork. While at once a brazen vehicle for sexual titillation, it somehow manages to subvert the very tropes it exploits. In one memorable scene, Barrymore, dressed in Farrah Fawcett homage, licks a man’s steering wheel while Liu installs a camera in his trunk.

https://www.ocolly.com/good-morning-charlie/article_c9e5c7df-b18a-5b53-867c-69f0a8e27a4d.html

Watch Drew Barrymore suggestively lick a steering wheel.

https://www.metrotimes.com/the-scene/archives/2000/11/15/charlies-angels

So what do Natalie dancing in Spiderman Underoos, Alex playing dominatrix as motivational speaker and goofball seductress Dylan licking a steering wheel have to do with helping their client, a beleaguered software wunderkind (Sam Rockwell)? Very little, but this Charlie’s Angels is less about the case than showing how three supercapable women make cooperation their secret weapon.

In reference to the original show, there's some humor rooted in sexual innuendo. One of the Angels behaves in a sexual manner in order to distract a chauffeur -- she licks the steering wheel and wears a low-cut blouse nearly exposing her breasts.

https://www.mascotcoalition.org/education/movies/charlies_angels.html

Dylan, Drew Barrymore (below), uses her sex appeal to distract a male chauffeur. She giggles as she notices her top has come unbuttoned; but leaves a lasting impression with the driver by giving his steering wheel a luscious, intimate kiss.

Instant Kick Ass Action—Just Add T & A!

By K. Charles Dwyer

Giving every angel equal time to strut her stuff, Charlie's Angels has Drew, while undercover, seduce a limo driver. It's a scene, which culminates in her licking the driver's steering wheel, designed to deliver steam heat—and it does exactly that.

http://www.tollbooth.org/2000/movies/charlieangel.html

The parade of costumes is particularly, uh, revealing. Drew Barrymore (Never Been Kissed) wears a skin-tight racing jumpsuit which she conveniently unzips to her navel.

Later in the movie, Drew Barrymore will have the indignity of wearing nothing but a plastic swimming pool, though that might be preferable to the sexual encounter her tongue has with a steering wheel.

http://www.popmatters.com/film/reviews/c/charlies-angels2.htm

More to the point, the film revels in its heroines' sexuality, presenting it as both their weakness (as when one ends up in the wrong bed) and their greatest weapon. Thin and voluptuous, the Angels use sex (or the promise of it) to get what they want. Dylan, for example, wears a jumpsuit with neckline that plunges to the curvature of her breasts in order to distract a driver while Alex plants a camera on his car.

The three actors are clearly having a wonderful time with their roles and each is afforded showcase moments. Liu gets to play dominatrix in an efficiency expert scene, Diaz shakes her small, but shapely booty to the tune of "Baby Got Back" in a comic bit on the set of "Soul Train," and Barrymore plays seductress with a limo driver in a revealing scene that makes it clear why David Letterman smiled so widely when she danced on his desk and flashed him.

https://web.archive.org/web/20031222050513/http://www.osbradio.com/movie.html

Drew Barrymore, the sore thumb of the three, and I mean that figure-atively, also has her eye-popping sexy moment, when she uses her grand-canyonesque cleavage to distract a limo driver.

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).

The new Angels, apparently, are the 21st-century postfeminists - not just proud of being women, but in love with their own bodies and with one another's. Barrymore: "Like the other day, when we did the racetrack scene - " All three in unison: "'Cock it to the right!'" (Apparently, in the racetrack scene, Barrymore's character wears a disguise that makes
her resemble Seka, the porn queen.)
