Hottest Bond girl ever

HER name is Kurylenko, Olga Kurylenko. Her mission: To be British secret agent James Bond's sexiest companion ever.

True enough, the 29-year-old Ukrainian model-actress - who is currently starring opposite Daniel Craig as mysterious Bolivian agent Camille in Quantum Of Solace - has set new standards for sizzle.

After all, men's magazine Maxim has named Kurylenko the official "hottest Bond girl ever" and put her on its December cover.

The newly-minted Bond bombshell - who claims she's a jeans-and-T-shirt girl and only wears heels to parties - also possesses more than a quantum of style.

For the past two weeks (and counting), she has been on the international tour for Quantum Of Solace and treating the world as her runway. Having to come up with a different film premiere look every couple of days must be tiring, but she managed with flying colours.

We rank her eclectic evening ensembles, starting with the best...

Dress No.1

At the Rome premiere, Kurylenko channels old Hollywood sirens and shows off her svelte 1.78m figure in a dramatic, black fishtail gown with a corseted bodice from Dolce & Gabbana.

The flirty mermaid hemline gives her a sexy silhouette, the jewelled heart charm choker adds a deco touch, and her understated make-up and tousled hair complete the look.

Dress No. 2

Kurylenko chose a sumptuous tiered fuchsia silk dress from YSL for the Amsterdam premiere.

It's sweet and sexy without being revealing, and the velvet black bow across the waist is feminine perfection.

Dress No. 3

In Paris, she appeared in a floor-sweeping, drop-waist white Chanel dress and cropped black jacket. Simple but still chic - and very French indeed.

Dress No.4

This black halter neck gown she wore in Valencia is what you'd expect from a Bond girl. Although it pales in comparison to her other more glamorous outfits, she's still elegance personified.
