Bond Girls in Swimwear

As Jinx in 2002 Halle Berry famously wore a fairly simple orange bikini (accessorised with a white knife belt) while imitating the beach scene in Dr. No. She came out of the sea with such grace - despite the fact the scene was said to have been shot in Cadiz (Southern Spain) where at the time it was freezing and very windy.

In On Her Majesty's Secret Service Rigg - as Teresa di Vicenzo - wore probably the sexiest lingerie in any Bond film: waiting in Bond's bedroom, she wore a sheer, strapless body suit with spiked choker accessorised with a snake, sexy lingerie and a gun. She was the only Bond girl to marry the agent, yet came to an unfortunate end.

In 1971 St. John rocked purple and animal print bikinis in Diamonds Are Forever. Her flame-red curly hair and clashing swimwear wardrobe was perfect for her character, Tiffany Case, and the mood of the early 70s.

The James Bond films are something of a British tradition, and every couple of years the summer is filled with the newest Bond release. And after all these years, we know what to expect: a rakishly handsome 007, a power ballad and a seductive Bond Girl. 2012, however, marks the 50th anniversary of the James Bond films, and the 23rd film will be released with Daniel Craig as the man himself, and talk of Oscar winner Javier Bardem taking on the role as the baddy. There's no talk of who the Bond girl will be as yet, but it's sure to be the next headline with a plethora of pictures giving us a taste of what lingerie or swimwear she'll be wearing. Throughout the years, the Bond girls have been just as memorable and iconic as the man himself - here are a few to remind you...

Halle Berry

In 1964 the British actress played Pussy Galore in Goldfinger, having already achieved sex symbol status from her days in the Avengers. Interestingly, she is the oldest actress to play a Bond girl, and at 38 she was even older than Bond (Sean Connery) himself. Even approaching her forties, however, shot in a bra, midriff showing and in swimwear, she still looked absolutely incredible.

Jill St. John

The ultimate swimwear goddess. It all began with Andress in 1962 in Dr. No. The Swiss actress with the incredible curves won a Golden Globe for her performance in the film, but her voice was dubbed as her accent was deemed to be too strong for audiences.
