The Ultimate Ranking of James Bond Girls: From Ursula Andress to Eva Green

James Bond, a cultural icon in cinema, often captivates audiences with a stellar cast of singular and unforgettable women. Referencing the most beautiful Bond girl, the title often tilts toward iconic classics like Ursula Andress. This article delves into the top Bond girls, exploring their contributions to the franchise and why they stand out in the eyes of fans.

Ursula Andress: The Original Icon

Drumroll please... The crown for the most beautiful Bond girl goes to none other than Ursula Andress. This Swiss bombshell set the gold standard as Honey Ryder in Dr. No in 1962. That iconic scene where she emerges from the ocean in a white bikini—legendary. It's the kind of stuff that gets etched into cinematic history and teenage dreams alike. She was the original, and to be honest, she’s hard to beat.

Eva Green: Bringing Depth to Bonds' World

But hold your martinis because Eva Green comes in at a very close second. She made quite the impression as Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale (2006). With those piercing green eyes and a sultry mysterious aura, she brought depth and elegance to the role. Green's performance wasn't just about looks; she added layers to Bond's character and the story, making her an unforgettable part of the franchise. Plus, she managed to break Bond's heart, and let's face it, that's no easy feat.

With both Andress and Green bringing a unique take of beauty, charm, and charisma to their roles, they remain iconic in the Bond universe. And let's not kid ourselves; the other Bond girls were no slouches either. Other notable Bond girls from the era include:
