Few actresses have captivated audiences in recent years quite like Ana de Armas. With her undeniable charisma, versatility, and talent, she has quickly become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stars. While she first gained international recognition for her breakout role in Blade Runner 2049 (2017), it was her scene-stealing performance as Paloma in No Time to Die (2021) that truly cemented her as a global sensation.

Now, one of the most iconic pieces from her Bond film debut—Paloma’s stunning navy-blue hero dress and high-heeled sandals—is available. This extraordinary costume, worn during one of No Time to Die’s most thrilling sequences, is a true piece of modern Bond history, symbolizing the actress’s meteoric rise and impact on the franchise.

Ana de Armas: From Rising Star to Hollywood Powerhouse

Born in Cuba, Ana de Armas began her acting career in Spanish-language films and television before making her way to Hollywood. With roles in films like Knock Knock (2015) and War Dogs (2016), she quickly gained attention for her natural screen presence and ability to bring depth to any character.

However, it was her role as Joi, the enigmatic AI companion in Blade Runner 2049 (2017) that put her on the map as an actress with extraordinary talent and on-screen magnetism. She then delivered an award-nominated performance in Knives Out (2019), proving her ability to carry a film with intelligence, humour, and emotional depth.

Her casting in No Time to Die was one of the film’s most exciting announcements, and when the movie premiered, Paloma instantly became a fan favourite. Despite her limited screen time, she made an unforgettable impression, showcasing her combat skills, charm, and effortless chemistry with Daniel Craig’s James Bond.

Now, Ana de Armas is a household name, leading blockbuster films like The Gray Man (2022) and earning an Oscar nomination for her transformative portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde (2022). With her star only continuing to rise, her role as Paloma remains one of the most celebrated moments in recent Bond history.

From Bond to Ballerina: The Rise of a Modern Action Star

Ana de Armas’ unforgettable turn as Paloma in No Time to Die didn’t just make her a standout in the Bond franchise—it marked her emergence as a full-fledged action star. Her combination of elegance, sharp wit, and deadly efficiency left a lasting impression. That same skill set will soon take center stage again in Ballerina, the upcoming spin-off from the John Wick universe.

In Ballerina, de Armas stars as Rooney, a trained assassin on a quest for vengeance. Set in the same dark, stylized world as John Wick, the film will give Ana her first leading role in a major action franchise. Her character promises to continue the legacy of powerful, complex female fighters—and fans of No Time to Die will likely see echoes of Paloma in Rooney’s strength, agility, and grace under pressure.

Both roles highlight de Armas' growing command of physical performance and emotional nuance, cementing her status as one of the most exciting stars in action cinema today. Paloma wasn’t just a moment—it was the beginning of a thrilling new chapter.
