Honeychile Rider is a fictional character in Ian Fleming's James Bond novel Dr. No. In the 1962 Bond film of the same name, her name was shortened and spelled Honey Ryder.^[1] In the film, she is played by Swiss actress Ursula Andress, with her lines dubbed by Nikki van der Zyl due to Andress' heavy accent.

In the film series, Ryder is generally regarded as the first Bond girl, although she was not the first woman in the film to be with Bond (that distinction belongs to Sylvia Trench, while Miss Taro was Bond's first mission-related "conquest"). Ryder's entrance, emerging from the ocean in a white bikini holding two large seashells, the sun shining on her wet blonde hair, is considered a classic James Bond scene, establishing both the character and actress as a sex symbol. The bikini is a movie wardrobe extra: the corresponding scene of the novel, Dr. No, has Honeychile Rider emerge wearing her belt only.^[2][3][4]

Andress referred to the Dr. No bikini as the "secret of her success".^[5]
