It’s been 64 years since the first James Bond film, Dr. No, hit our screens, and in that time, we have been introduced to dozens of beautiful actresses who have played the spy’s love interests.
Rising stars and established actresses have played the role, ranging from Ursula Andress to Britt Ekland. Many, like Michelle Yeoh and Halle Berry, used the role to launch their Hollywood careers.
Bond girls are famed for their beauty, and decades on, the actresses have proven that they still have it. But have you wondered what some of the actresses look like now?

Ursula Andress
Ursula was the OG Bond girl, with her first appearance during Dr. No being so iconic it was recreated by Halle Berry three decades later. The Swiss actress was 26 when she donned the white bikini, and she went on to star in the likes of Fun in Acapulco, The Fifth Musketeer and Clash of the Titans.
Ursula, who is now aged 90, has retired from acting, and in her most recent public appearance, which came in 2017, she looked gorgeous at the Rome Film Festival. Dressed in a fur coat and sleek black trouser-dress, she still would have turned the head of 007.

Halle Berry
Halle played CIA agent Jinx in Die Another Day, Pierce Brosnan’s final outing as the super spy, and she also burst onto the screen wearing nothing but a bikini, albeit a bright orange one this time. Halle has since starred in the X-Men films, Catwoman, and even made her directorial debut with Bruised.
Halle was 36 when she appeared in the Bond film, and now aged 59, the Hollywood actress doesn’t appear to have aged a day. When she stepped out in Manhattan back in May, the star looked like she still could have been undercover as Jinx!

Jane Seymour
Live and Let Die was one of Jane’s first forays into Hollywood, with the star being just 21 when she played the role of clairvoyant Solitaire who initially works for the villainous Dr. Kananga. Jane has established herself as a Hollywood icon since, with roles in Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and East of Eden.
Jane, now aged 75 may no longer be the doe-eyed girl from the Bond franchise, instead being her own independent woman. She stunned back in June when she made a guest appearance at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Gala wearing a svelte black dress favoured by Bond’s heroines.

Michelle Yeoh
While Michelle was already an established actress in the East when she played Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies, the Bond film served as her introduction to Western audiences. Michelle, who was 35 at the time of filming, certainly made an impression, since appearing in the likes of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Memoirs of a Geisha and Everything Everywhere All At Once, which won her an Oscar.
The Malaysian-born actress, now aged 64, appears to be ageless, and she looked splendid last month during an appearance at Comic-Con.

Isabella Scorupco
Izabella was just 25 and at the start of her career when she played computer technician Natalya Simonova in GoldenEye. The star has since appeared in Reign of Fire, Exorcist: The Beginning and Barracuda Queens.
Izabella, now 56, is another timeless beauty, and when she made her last public appearance back in 2018, she looked captivating in a white shirt, black skirt and matching scarf.

Britt Ekland
Britt was 32 and already hailed as a sex symbol when she played Mary Goodnight in Roger Moore’s The Man with the Golden Gun. The actress appeared in High Velocity and Scandal before pivoting her career to focus on reality TV appearances.
The star, now aged 83, wowed back in 2022, making an appearance in a head-turning black ensemble for the premiere of 1923.
