Bond girls

Agent's glamorous partners

Bond girls are the attractive women who appear as love interests, allies, or adversaries in James Bond films.

The term encompasses everyone from villains' henchwomen to secret agents to damsels in distress.

Bond girls often have suggestive names—Pussy Galore, Honey Ryder, Octopussy.

The role has evolved from purely decorative to more substantive, though the label itself retains its campy, sexualized connotations: She had that classic Bond girl look.
