With all respect to Karren Brady as a successful business woman in a 'mans' world, we're back to a straight "pretty girl" in the Goldfinger trailer.
"A light hearted tongue in cheek trailer for the forthcominbg series" as the BBC would probably say but pure 60's sexism nontheless.
Wonder what Karren herself thinks.

Karren is such a strong feminist that I can't imagine she would have taken part if she had thought it was sexist.

If you READ the descirption it is meant to be tongue in cheek. They didn't write that for nothing!

Well, yes. It's a Bond send-up. Bond films have a history of being casually sexist. It's not advocating it. It's taking the piss.
