Is she the best Bond girl Eva?

Green is being lauded for her acting - an unusual accolade for a Bond girl - in Casino Royale, which had its premiere in Leicester Square last night.

The actress is also being hailed as quite possibly the most beautiful of 007's love interests for some years - and a rival to Ursula Andress whose emergence from the water in a bikini in Dr No first made Bond Girl watching a national sport.
For a Bond love interest, Green does remarkably well as Treasury official Vesper Lynd to keep her clothes mainly on.
That is in stark contrast to her first starring role in Bernardo Bertolucci's arthouse movie The Dreamers, in which nakedness appears the order of the day.
Her next major role will be as Serafina in His Dark Materials, the eagerly anticipated adaptation of Philip Pullman's blockbuster.
Green, 26, looked striking as she posed on the red carpet, wearing an Alexander McQueen gown.
She later changed into sweeping red velvet for the £250,000 premiere party at Berkeley Square.
Daniel Craig, 38, the new 007, was accompanied by his girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell, 29.
At the party Craig declared that while he enjoyed the occasional vodka martini, there was only so much of the hard stuff he could stomach. He made a beeline for the Guinness and then a beeline for the exit at just after midnight.
Craig's portrayal was praised by several partygoers, including Sir Richard Branson and comedians Jimmy Carr and Peter Kay.
Others at the party included Sir Elton John, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh, the Sugababes, Paris Hilton and West Ham footballer Teddy Sheringham.
