13. Domino Derval
Was she called Domino because all the men fell at her feet? Or because of her preference for black and white? Either way, this Bond girl, played by Claudine Auger in the film Thunderball (1985), sure makes an impression.

9. Christmas Jones
Hot enough to set off an atomic bomb is Denise Richards' nuclear physicist, Dr. Christmas Jones (The World Is Not Enough, 1999), even though it's hard to believe that work uniform, what little there is of it, would pass health and safety.

8. Sylvia Trench
It may have been the first Bond movie, but 1962's Dr. No was responsible for many iconic Bond Girl looks, and one of them was Bond's first ever love interest, Sylvia Trench. Played by Eunice Gayson, she was responsible for 007’s iconic catchphrase, introducing herself with “Trench. Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck, Mr…” to which he returned “Bond. James Bond.” Having made quite the impression, Eunice Gayson also appeared in From Russia With Love (1963), a rare thing for a Bond girl to appear in more than one movie.
