Léa Seydoux: 10th French Bond girl

THE FIRST official images have been revealed of French actress Léa Seydoux in the next James Bond instalment - ahead of the film's worldwide release on November 6.

Seydoux, who starred in the Cannes Palme d'Or winning movie La Vie d'Adèle (Blue is the Warmest Colour), takes on the role of femme fatale Madeleine Swann in the 24th film in the Bond franchise.

Called Spectre, parts of the Sam Mendes-directed film have been shot in the mountains of Austria, once again starring Daniel Craig as 007.
