Bond girls are as much a part of the 007 films as James Bond himself.

Whether out for themselves, their mother countries, or even, sometimes, James Bond, Bond girls add mystery, style and stakes to stories of glamour and espionage. (And yes, we recognized the term “Bond girls” is anachronistic, but we think it’s been grandfathered into the movie lexicon — it even has its own Wikipedia entry.)

Is being a Bond girl as fun as it looks onscreen? These images would suggest that yes, it is.
