Former Bond girl Ursula Andress has been named the ultimate 'Bikini Goddess' in a new poll of British women.

The poll of 1,000 women, conducted to celebrate 60 years of the bikini, revealed that Andress' figure is the one they would most like to emulate.

'It shows curves are not just appreciated by men but that it is women who feel this is the look they should aim for and not just try to be thin,' the Daily Express quoted Holly Chaves, of Gillette Venus Embrace, which ran the poll, as saying.

Andress, who played diver Honey Ryder in the first Bond film in 1962, was followed in the poll by Kelly Brook, who was also voted as the one with the best breasts.

According to women in the survey, supermodel and actress Elle Macpherson has the best legs.

Halle Berry was voted as the one with the most attractive face.

Brigitte Bardot and Dame Helen Mirren also made the list. The poll also showed that nine out of 10 women dread wearing a bikini on the beach.
