As the title of the 24th James Bond film is announced, we take a look back at more than 50 years of Bond Girl hairstyles.
The name of the new Bond film, which will star Daniel Craig, is due to be announced today live from Pinewood Studios – the UK home of 007 for since 1964.
Due out in 2015, the next Bond blockbuster will be the 24th since Dr No, starring Sean Connery, which was released in 1962.
Over the next 52 years, we’ve seen more than our fair share of Bond Girls, each of whom brought their own sense of style to these always-chic films.
Here we take a look at ten of our favourite Bond Girl hair looks.
Has anyone ever made wet-look hair as stylish as Ursula Andress in the very first Bond film, Dr No? Her 1962 style has paved the way for countless catwalk looks since.
Shirley Eaton was the epitome of 1960s glamour in Goldfinger with this kitsch twisting updo. Her hair looked even better – if not infinitely more dangerous, as it turned out – once it was painted gold.
Karin Dor was a picture of swinging sixties perfection in You Only Live Twice with artfully flicked out lengths. The only thing rivalling those flicks is the equally pristine cat-eye liner.
Diana Rigg sported an updo that would make Betty Draper jealous in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. How many hair donuts did stylist Eileen Warwick stuff in there?
Gloria Hendry became the first African American woman to become romantically involved with 007 in 1973′s Live and Let Die – and with hair like that, she remains an inspiration today.
Britt Ekland’s Swedish style was perfect for 1974′s Bond outing, The Man With the Golden Gun. We don’t know what’s more dazzling – the golden gun or her girl-next-door blonde shade.
Kim Basinger was about as 80s as it gets in 1983′s Never Say Never Again. With her teased, tousled, matte-finish blonde mane and wispy fringe, she wouldn’t look out of place in a soft rock video.
The 90s called for a new generation of kick-ass Bond girl and Michelle Yeoh brought that in spades. In 1998′s Tomorrow Never Dies her high ponytail had more than a hint of no-fuss, free-wheeling, Sporty Spice cool.
Was Halle Berry the first Bond Girl with short hair in 2002′s Die Another Day? Her carefree crop heralded a new era of Bond actress and spawned a generation of copycat hair cuts.
Eva Green brought her own brand of Gallic elegance to Bond in 2006, starring as Vesper in Casino Royale. We’re awed by the glamour of this chignon, dreamt up by lead hair supervisor on the film Christine Blundell.
