Warning: Major spoilers ahead for No Time To Die and other Bond films. 

Bond Girls are the most prominent characters in the James Bond series. Many Bond Girls act as love interests or have sexual relations with James Bond, while other Bond Girls developed professional associations with Bond.

The Daniel Craig films have elevated the way Bond Girls are represented where Bond shows more empathy towards the women he encounters. While some women have served as the typical love interest, these films have also showcased badass Bond Girls with espionage skills. Given their professional relationship with Bond, Eve Moneypenny and M are not officially Bond Girls.

Solange Dimitrios

Solange Dimitrios in Casino Royale

Solange Dimitrios was the first Bond Girl introduced in the Craig films. She was the wife of Alex Dimitrios, an associate of Le Chiffre. Her relationship with Bond is a classic example of Bond seducing women for information, which she did.

Thanks to Solange, Bond sabotaged Le Chiffre's plan but did little to save Solange from her ultimate death. Le Chiffre had pinpointed her as the cause of their failed plan and had tortured and killed her. Her death made her the first sacrificial lamb in the series.

Vesper Lynd

Casino Royale Vesper Lynd Eva Green

Vesper Lynd was the main Bond Girl in Casino RoyaleAs an officer of the HM Treasury, she was responsible for the money used to stake Bond on poker games in Montenegro. Of course, she was the first woman that managed to steal Bond's heart.

Despite developing a romantic relationship with Bond, it was short-lived as she betrayed Bond. She ultimately has herself killed by drowning as she felt guilty of her actions. Her death was one of the most tragic among Bond Girls that it even established the rest of the storyline and direction of the Craig films in which he seeks revenge and searches for the secret organization that trapped her in the first place. Furthermore, Bond developed trust issues as a result of his experience with Vesper Lynd.

Valenka

Valenka in Casino Royale

Valenka was a member of Quantum and a close ally to Le Chiffre. Unlike most Bond Girls in the Craig films, she was one of Bond's enemies and attempted to kill him with poison in Casino Royale. This formally makes her a femme fatale.

Despite trying to retrieve the money lost from poker, Valenka and Le Chiffre were killed by Mr. White and members of the organization.

Strawberry Fields

Gemma Arterton as Strawberry Fields in James Bond Quantum of Solace

Strawberry Fields was an MI6 operative sent to bring Bond back to London, given how impulsive his behavior has been throughout Quantum of Solace. Of course, given Bond's seductive charms, she became another Bond Girl who sleeps with him.

Sadly, like the fate of many Bond Girls, M and Bond found Fields dead in a hotel room, covered in oil. Her death marks another example of a sacrificial lamb. It is also one of the few times that Bond feels responsible for a Bond Girls' death, requested that she receives posthumous honor, and sought justice when he finally caught Dominic Greene.

Camille Montes

Camille in Quantum of Solace

Camille Montes was the primary Bond Girl introduced in Quantum of Solace. She was a Bolivian Secret Service operative and sought revenge against General Medrano, who murdered her family. She planned her mission by sleeping with Greene, a member of Quantum, and the reasons she crosses paths with Bond.

Unlike most Bond Girls, she rarely had sexual encounters with Bond, aside from a goodbye kiss, but they became allies who had the same desire for vengeance. Much of her backstory seemed synonymous with Bond, so it is no surprise that she is one of the few badass Bond Girls who could take on the 007 monikers. She survived by the end of the film, having gotten her revenge, and it is assumed that she is still alive in the universe.

Bond's Lover In Skyfall

Bond's Lover with Bond in Skyfall

In Skyfall, Bond developed a sexual relationship with an unnamed woman, credited as Bond's Lover. Bond kept a low profile when he was assumed dead, but he eventually returned to service.

Little is known about Bond's Lover, considering Bond eventually leaves her, and she never appears again. However, since she meets the standards of a Bond Girl, it is assumed that Bond's Lover is still alive.

Sévérine

Sévérine was another Bond Girl who showcased the femme fatale archetype in Skyfall. She had a dark past as a victim of the sex trade and represented Silva after being saved. Knowing how dangerous Silva was, Sévérine trusted Bond as her only way to escape and agreed to lead him to Silva.

Like many classic Bond Girls, Sévérine also developed a sexual encounter with Bond, but it does not turn serious. Unfortunately, Silva shot her in the head and instantly killed her after challenging Bond to shoot a glass from her head. Given her character arc, Sévérine was one of the more classic portrayals of a Bond Girl and was the last sacrificial lamb in the Craig films.

Estrella

Estrella in Spectre

Estrella was another minor Bond Girl who appeared in Spectre. She was an operative for the Mexican Secret Service.

She appeared as Bond's companion on Day of the Dead, and she also fell for Bond's charms. However, Bond paused his affair with Estrella to assassinate Marco Sciarra. It was the last time viewers would see her, but she is possibly still alive after the film's events.

Lucia Sciarra

Lucia Sciarra in Spectre

Lucia Sciarra was the widow of Marco Sciarra. She lost the security following her husband's death and became Spectre's target. Like any Bond Girl, Bond seduced her after saving her from two guards and sought information from her about Spectre and the next meeting at the Palazzo Cardenza.

Despite being a "dead woman," Bond helped Lucia seek safety with help from Felix Leiter, who does not appear in Spectre. It was a rare occasion that Bond cared for and protected a Bond Girl. Also, it is assumed that Lucia is still alive.

Nomi

Nomi hides behind a pillar in No Time to Die

Nomi is a rare Bond Girl who developed a brief rivalry with Bond and was introduced in No Time to Die. In Jamaica, Nomi informed Bond about Valdo Obruchev and Project Hercules. She also warned him not to interfere since she was the new 007 after Bond had retired. Unlike Bond, Nomi is an agent who follows instructions. She does have high espionage skills like Bond and is a self-proclaimed high achiever.

Unlike most Bond Girls, Nomi never had a sexual encounter with Bond, and their relationship was strictly professional. She is one of the few Bond Girls who assisted Bond on missions. Despite a rough acquaintance, Nomi became Bond's ally, gave him back 007 codename, and helped him save Madeleine and his daughter. She is alive, but it is unclear if she was reinstated as a 007. Nevertheless, she was one of the best characters in No Time to Die.

Paloma

No Time To Die Ana de Armas Paloma

Paloma is a Cuban agent employed by the CIA. She had approximately three weeks of training (more or less) before Felix called her in to help Bond find Obruchev. She does help Bond succeed in retrieving Obruchev and is still alive.

Paloma was an unusual and refreshing approach to a Bond Girl. She was a witty and skilled agent being formidable assistance to Bond. She singlehandedly fought off Spectre guards and formed a friendly yet professional relationship with Bond. Her introduction reinvigorates the notion of a Bond Girl, so it is no surprise that audience members loved her and found her to be one of the most badass characters in No Time to Die.

Madeleine Swann

Madeleine Swann is a psychologist and is Mr. White's daughter. Introduced in Spectre, Madeleine became the first Bond Girl to appear in more than one consecutive film. She is the second Bond Girl to steal Bond's heart and forms a romantic relationship with Bond.

She displays typical characteristics of a Bond Girl, such as Bond's love interest and a damsel in distress in Spectre. Despite their breakup in No Time to Die after Bond assumed Madeleine betrayed him, she has a daughter with Bond and eventually reunites with him five years later. Swann and her daughter survive by the end of the film, but Bond dies to protect them from Safin's poison inflicted on him, which would kill them if he came close.
