A GLAM Bond girl appears to be ageing backwards - cutting a strikingly similar look despite starring alongside Pierce Brosnan's character almost three decades ago.

The Dutch actress, now 59, also starred in X Men, Taken, Taken 2 and Locked In at the height of her fame.

Famke Janssen - known for her raven-coloured locks and slender figure - looked sensational in a cream mini dress adorned with silver sequins in New York City this week.

She flashed a youthful glow as she stepped out at the Boy Kills World premiere in her summery attire, finished off with white socks and heeled sandals.

The Postcard Killings star looked almost identical to her iconic Goldeneye character back in 1995.

Famke played fighter pilot and assassin Xenia Onatopp, who crushed her enemies with her thighs.

During her Bond girl role, she often wore her dark locks in an up-do, finishing her glam look with a slick of red lipstick.

The star, who has also featured in Netflix series Hemlock Grove and ABC's How To Get Away With Murder, looks almost identical in the current day.

Goldeneye gripe

Yet despite the huge fame, Famke has told how she felt "misunderstood" following her Bond Girl role.

She told the Independent she "felt like I was thrown to the wolves” and “had to deal with the stereotype of” being a Bond girl.

She candidly added to the publication: "I feel incredibly misunderstood at times.

"It's the dichotomy between the way I look and what is happening inside.

"But that comes with being in a Bond movie and playing this crazy assassin.

"All of my friends and family know that I'm goofy and sensitive and that I play these characters who are so different from that.

We previously reported how the actress looked unrecignisable in BBC show The Capture.

She played Jessica Mallory in the BBC drama, a no-nonsense character part of a wider, mysterious conspiracy.

Meanwhile, she is earning her stripes behind the camera too.

Famke made her debut as a director in 2011 in Bringing Up Bobby.

Knee-ly right

Meanwhile, in a bizarre recent twist, fans also claimed to have spotted the face of former US President Donald Trump in Famke's knee.

It came as the UN Goodwill Ambassador was spotted shopping with a pal in New York City.

She went tights-free and donned a black mini dress which flashed her legs - and sparked the odd rumours.

They claimed to spot an imprint of the president's rather grumpy face on Famke's left knee.
