The white bikini worn by Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No has been called the most famous bikini of all time and an iconic moment in cinematic and fashion history. Its appearance in the film, monumental in the history of the bikini, helped drive sales.

The lower part of the bikini features a wide white British Army belt with brass buckles and fittings, and a scabbard on the left side to hold a large knife.
