Style retrospective: Bond girl fashion
Bond girls have become as legendary as the world’s favourite British spy himself. Rebecca Martin takes a look at some of 007′s most intriguing side-kicks and their fabulous wardrobes.

The very first Bond girl was also one of the best. The Swiss native’s voice may have been dubbed over post-production, but no one can deny that her first appearance in the film, in that bikini on the beach, has become one of the most iconic scenes in film.
Her seductive walk out of the waves was later mimicked by Halle Berry in one of the more recent Bond flicks, but nothings beats the original. Honey’s bikini is the most famous of all Bond girls’ costumes, and dozens of copies have turned up in high street stores every summer since. Nothing can top the real thing though, we’re still hunting for our vintage Sixties bikini to channel our inner Ursula.
