Kristina Rihanoff Shows Off Her Strictly-honed Figure As She Recreates Ursula Andress Bond Girl Look

The Russian dancer, Kristina Rihanoff has recreated the famous beachside pose of Ursula Andress,  Honey Ryder from 007 classic Dr. No for Closer magazine.

The Strictly professional has done a pretty good job at recreating the Bond girl, as she posed holding two shells up and simply looked astonishing in the white two-piece completing the look with a knife tucked on her side.

Managing to pull off soaking hair, she appeared almost identical to Honey.

Ursula Andress is a Swiss film and television actress, a former model and sex symbol, who has appeared in American, British and Italian films.

She is best known for her role as Bond girl, Honey Ryder in the first James Bond film, Dr. No, for which she won a Golden Globe award. She later starred as Vesper Lynd in the Bond-parody Casino Royale.

"The image of Ursula has stuck in my head because it’s such a classic look," Kristina tells the magazine.

"I think she’s naturally beautiful and she portrays an image of a strong woman who appeals to both men and ladies. I very much like her look as she has a timeless and effortless beauty.”

Kristina stands 5ft and 3inches tall, she admitted that she wanted to be taller.

The 38-year-old added: "Bond girls are so sexy – and just as glamorous as Strictly stars! As a dancer, it’s important for me to keep my body in good shape. Aside from dancing, I go to yoga for meditation and also hit the gym for cardio. I’m not the biggest gym bunny, but I need to look good in my Strictly costumes!"

Kristina Rihanoff is set to release a calender.

The star was voted out of this year’s competition over the weekend, alongside partner Daniel O’Donnell, but she’s keeping herself busy – and is now set to release a sexy 2016 calender like her co-star Ola Jordan.

The dancer shows off her toned figure on the front cover, while inside she poses in a stunning array of underwear.

Fellow dancers 32-year-od, Ola Jordan and 31-year-old Aliona Vilan have also released calendars, but show bosses fear the photo-shoots will harm Strictly’s family image.
