Lady Victoria Hervey enjoyed her very own James Bond moment on Friday as she relaxed in coastal Malibu with her pet dog, D’Artagnan.
The British socialite conjured vague images of screen veteran Ursula Andress wading from the Caribbean in that much imitated scene from 1962 film Dr. No during her latest appearance in the popular southern California suburb.
With temperatures soaring, Lady Victoria, 45, showed off her bronzed physique in a gold bikini as she paddled in the Pacific surf before returning to the beach, where her faithful dog was waiting.
The name’s Hervey: Lady Victoria enjoyed her very own James Bond moment on Friday as she relaxed in coastal Malibu
The socialite, who has made a home for herself in the United States, offered a smile as she fussed over D’Artagnan, who appeared reluctant to follow his owner into the water.
Lady Victoria is making the most of relaxed COVID restrictions across the US after previously admitting she rarely wears protective face coverings.
Last year the Miami resident told the Daily Mail: ‘I’m not going to lie, I never wear a mask, adding that she ‘storms out’ of any shops that ask her to put one on.

Even so, she went into business supplying PPE at the start of the pandemic, but insisted that she isn’t a hypocrite.
‘I did a little bit of a pivot,’ she said. ‘But no, it doesn’t! I was selling it to hospitals, not to people out walking their dogs or shopping.’
Asked if she would ever take the Covid vaccine, added: ‘No way! It’s a personal thing, and my mother’s had hers, but at my age I really believe in natural immunity.’

She admitted that pregnancy magazine Project Baby had also influenced her thinking — as she has a prospective sperm donor/father lined up, should she decide to start a family.
Six of her eggs were frozen and stored three years ago, at a cost of £11,000, and she spent the time afterwards looking for a donor.
‘I had a friend who was going to be my sperm donor. He was going to be involved in my child’s life, but as a friend, not a partner,’ she explained.
‘And I was supposed to be pregnant now. But then Covid happened, which was a big blow, but looking back I’m really grateful I didn’t do it with that person. He just wasn’t right.’
