James Bond – the sexiest, most badass secret agent out there; the ultimate gentleman spy. Women want him and men want to be him. And yet, let’s face it, he’s nothing without his Bond girl. From the moment the rumours start swirling about a new Bond movie, the only question on everyone’s mind is, “Who will be the next Bond girl?” Ever since the release of the first Bond movie in 1962, Dr. No, the Bond girl has become a universal symbol of glamour and sophistication. Her sultry eyes, her alluring charm, and her seductive demeanour never fails to leave audiences asking for more.
