The identity of the next James Bond has yet to be revealed. However, Amazon MGM, the new owners of the 007 franchise, have announced that they are diligently working on the next film in London. They have committed to offering a fresh perspective on the franchise while preserving the legacy of this iconic character. For now, enjoy a nostalgic journey through the most remarkable Bond Girls, whose allure and daring have left a lasting mark on the legendary spy’s adventures.
1. Eva Green as Vesper Lynd in “Casino Royale” (2006)
Vesper isn’t just a love interest — she’s one of the few Bond girls with emotional depth, intelligence, and a complex moral conflict. Her relationship with Bond reshapes his character permanently, making her arguably the most important Bond girl in the series.
2. Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore in “Goldfinger” (1964)
With one of the most memorable names in film history, Pussy Galore was a tough, no-nonsense aviator who resisted Bond’s charms longer than most. Her character broke molds in the early Bond films.
3. Halle Berry as Jinx Johnson in “Die Another Day” (2002)
Halle Berry’s portrayal of Jinx Johnson in “Die Another Day” was marked by style, athleticism, and iconic status. Even with a flawed script, Berry’s presence made Jinx a standout character. Her dramatic entrance from the sea has become an enduring part of Bond lore. Berry’s performance was notable for her charisma and dynamic action sequences, including the unforgettable beach scene.
4. Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in “Dr. No” (1962)
Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in Dr. No (1962) is the original Bond girl and arguably the most iconic of them all. Her entrance from the sea in that white bikini isn’t just a moment in Bond history — it’s a moment in cinematic history.
5. Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin in “Tomorrow Never Dies” (1997)
Yeoh’s Wai Lin was a skilled and independent agent who held her own against Bond. Her martial arts expertise and intelligence made her a memorable and capable Bond girl.
6. Ana de Armas as Paloma – No Time to Die (2021)
In only about 10 minutes of screen time, Paloma made a massive impression. Energetic, funny, effortlessly cool, and a deadly force in stilettos, she completely stole the Havana sequence. Fans loved her playful chemistry with Bond and her refusal to be objectified. Proof that quality can outshine quantity.
7. Olga Kurylenko as Camille Montes – Quantum of Solace (2008)
Camille is unique because she shares no romantic arc with Bond. Instead, she’s a woman driven by her own quest for revenge, which intersects with Bond’s. She’s tough, emotionally wounded, and refreshingly autonomous — showing a darker, more complex side of what a Bond girl could be in the post-Casino Royale world.
8. Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann – Spectre (2015), No Time to Die (2021)
Madeleine is perhaps the most significant love interest in Bond’s later years. Her relationship with him matures into something deeper and lasting. She doesn’t challenge him with conflict, but with connection — something Bond rarely allows. In No Time to Die, their arc anchors the emotional stakes of the film’s finale.
9. Diana Rigg as Tracy di Vicenzo – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)
Tracy is bold, witty, troubled, and ultimately, the woman Bond marries — the only one. A fully realized character with agency and independence, she saves Bond as much as he saves her. Her murder just after their wedding is one of the most haunting moments in the franchise, marking a rare instance of true tragedy in Bond’s world.
10. Izabella Scorupco as Natalya Simonova – GoldenEye (1995)
One of the first Bond girls of the post–Cold War era, Natalya is a computer programmer who’s intelligent, brave, and emotionally grounded. She’s more than just a tag-along — she pushes back on Bond’s reckless behavior and contributes meaningfully to the mission. Her chemistry with Brosnan helped establish the modern Bond tone.
